If you have a single hydraulic line running to the rear it probably does not have live hydraulics. Key is where does the line go on the tractor. If it has live hydraulics it will have a pump ahead of the distributor. Will have 2 lines running from it toward the center unit, behind the engine and bell housing. Not sure what a live pump will cost, I believe from what has been said here that a pump from a super M will not attach, you have to get a different front cover. If you get a live pump and want 2 way hydraulics you will need a separate valve. As fara s 3 point it think the best is a Saginaw, it comes with 2 hydraulic cylinders and if you have 2 way hydraulics can be used with down pressure. Not cheap as will run near 700 plus valve and hoses. I have seen live pumps on the adds here and on ebay, also 3 point conversions. As far as the front, again there are wide fronts advertised in photo adds and sometimes on e bay. Have considered one myself but I live in Washington and most seem to be in midwest or east. They are fairly heavy and would cost a bunch to ship if you could. You will pay about $750 ob more for a good one. You sometimes see schwartz units for less. I don't know if anyone still makes conversions, Steel Wheel ranch advertises parts for them and their adds say they have used wide fronts. Check salvage yards but they are quite popular. I prefer the 2 front wheel narrow front to single wheel and those are pretty easy to find and much cheaper. Once you get a wide front you will want power steering. Again you see char lyn conversion units here and on e bay but not cheap. Good luck on your tractor, many posibilities for add ons you mention just need enough green in your wallet.
