Sorry, I was going to post this sooner, but I couldn't get on the site briefly. I also appologize in advance for the long post. Differences between W6 and Super W6: Super W6's were equipped with W9 front wheels standard. These wheels were options for all but the last run of W6's Super W6's had a C-263 4 cylinder, W-6's had a C-248 4 cylinder The Super W6 has higher ground speeds in each gear when compared to a W6 Later Super W6's used a channel front frame similar to the Farmall letter series tractors. Early Super W6's and all W6's used a cast tub for the front frame. W6's all used a solid bar with a small spring for a seat(most were changed out). Super W6's I believe had the option for a seat more like that of an M with a shock absorber and a spring. All Super W6's were equipped with a 12" Rockford clutch. Some W6's were equipped with it, but most used Rockford 11" clutches, however, there were a few with Auburn 11 inchers. Super W6's all had IH double disc brakes, while only the last of the W6's got them. A few W6's were equipped with an aftermarket company's disc brakes from the factory. All Super W6's had the flat sealed beam headlights, while the W6's used the bullet shaped replaceable bulb type headlights. The serial number plate on a W6 will simply say W6, while the Super W6 would have something stamped into the plate to designate the fact that it is a Super. The hydraulic systems were pretty much identical between the Supers and the W6's. Both were live. From the sounds of it, you have the pump, the reservoir, and the relief valve (under the cap with 3 bolts). What you need to complete the system would be the hoses to the back of the tractor, the remote couplers, and the control valve, which is the same for an M or W6, except that the M's was located next to the gas tank on the right hand side and was operated by a rod, while the W6's was operated by a hand lever. Not sure where it was located on the tractor, but I believe it was on the left side of the seat. You may want to get a parts manual for it to find out what is all missing. You will more than likely not find a picture of the setup in a tractor book because 1)there were very few standards compared to Farmalls 2)there are very few books written about the standard treads exclusively 3)many W6's didn't have hydraulics, as they were usually used for small chore tasks with older equipment that didn't require or have a provision for hydraulics. Also, the hydraulic attachment for the W6 first was released around 1950, which was towards the end of the W6 production. The M's was available by 1940, which was well before the M overtook the H as the most popular IH on a yearly basis. Good luck with your tractor.

Choosin, Mounting and Using a Bush Hog Type Mower - by Francis Robinson. Looking around at my new neighbors, most of whom are city raised and have recently acquired their first mini-farms of five to fifteen acres and also from reading questions ask at various discussion sites on the web it is frighteningly apparent that a great many guys (and a few gals) are learning by trial and error and mostly error how to use a very dangerous piece of farm equipment. It is also very apparent that these folks are getting a lot of very poor and often very dangerous advice fro
