Ohhhh Man! I forgot the pictures of my new little JD M! Cute little thing... Engine still turns over, and the rear tires are AWESOME! :)

Buddy says that his neighbor has a 1 x 16 belly plow for it too... Wouldn't THAT be cool!! :)

By the way, can anyone tell me what the two little levers on the left are for? One has to be PTO, and the one with the black knob on the right is hydraulics, but that leaves on little one?

Seems to me,if memory serves,one of those levers is for the belt pulley.That M is a good little tractor along with the "40" that replaced it.Very handy wouldn't mind having one myself!
 
Agree with [b:654c4848f0]GVSII[/b:654c4848f0] that the second lever operates the belt pulley.

Take a look at the photo below of "Sparky" our 1951 Model M.

The belt pulley on "Sparky" is a <a href="http://paperpulleys.com/pages/home.html">paper pulley</a>.

There is also a cast metal pulley.

Hope this helps.
 
Right on! Glad to know.

You seem to be the guy with a bunch of pictures, do you by chance have a picture of the back of a stock M without anything on it?

I want to see what mine SHOULD look like! The guy had a 55 gallon drum full of grader blades on the back of this poor little thing... I ripped it off of there with my truck while it was still in the woods!

How would a 1x16 plow attach to one of these?
 
My dad had bought a new John Deere "M" with all the attachments back in the day. Disk, plows, snowplow, cultivators & fertilizer attachments. Dad liked it because a small Farmer could do almost anything with it. I traded it off a few years ago to a neighbor for a Farmall Super A, and sold the attachments. He rebuilt it. Looks good.
 
Because John Deere could not use the three point setup such as Ford back then, they fashioned a plow with a long tongue that went under the tractor to a point about at the end of the engine, where the tongue went into a bracket that guided the front of the plow, The bracket is special, and without it you would have no control over the depth or angle of the front of the plow.
 
yours has the wrong lift chains but looks pretty much stock minus the extra weight. They came with rear finders. I don't think the front wheels are stock.Depending on the year model what type of front wheels they have. I have a 49 model that has the heavy cast wheels.
 
loaded a many a ton of silage and manure with one of those with a trip bucket loader and armstrong steering, tough little tractors

Take a look at the photo below of a Model M. ([b:654c4848f0][i:654c4848f0]This is not one of our tractors[/i:654c4848f0][/b:654c4848f0])

I am not familiar with a 1x16 plow, but a power depth control might be required.

Take a look at the diagram below.

Take a look at the power depth control on "Sparky".
