New Farmall M

Gents,

I recently purchased a Farmall M at a local farm I've been working at for some time. Owner traded me for $800 in labor. The sheet metal looks good, and the tractor runs good. Getting a little bit of blue smoke, but....

I have a few questions for all of you, I'm too new to post pics, so if you need pics to answer my questions let me know.

Q1: The flat belt pulley on my tractor has been removed and replaced with a flat piece of metal. Is it a major pain to find the parts and hook this back up, for restoration?

Q2:I've noticed that it appeares to have the lift-all pump on the tractor, with two fittings on one side of the tractor and one fitting on the other side. The resevoir for fluid is completely empty, and judging by the way the dipstick looks, I'm guessing it has been empty for a long time. Should I assume that the Lift -all pump is "dead", for all practical purposes?

Q3: If the lift all pump works, is is capable of running a saginaw 3-point hitch?.......If Not, recommendations for hydraulics to run the hitch please"

Q3: On the guage panel, right under the headlight switch, there is a little lever. It appears to be designed similar to a little crank, so that you can turn it. It has a rod that connects to a lever up by where you put engine oil in the engine.....What is this for?

Q4: What can I expect to put in to tires on this , dollar wise.....It needs rear and fronts. All tires hold air, but if I want to make it look nice, I'm gonna have to replace them eventually, any idea on cost?



This tractor is in good shape overall. I've been working part time on a local farm for several years an this tractor was basically used as an auger tractor, for a long, long time. I have used the tractor many times, so its quite a pleasure for me to own it. I know it has ran flawlessly for the last 10 years that I've been around it. But, as I said, she is starting to smoke a little. Blue smoke, grrr. Sheet metal looks good, engine runs good, tires hold air and it has a twelve volt conversion. I want to restore it, but I want it to remain a practical, usable tractor. So I'll probly leave the 12 volt conversion.....Any feedback as to whether to re-install the belt pulley would be nice. Thanks for your input guys, I'm sure I'll have many more questions as this unfolds.
