I have a 1939 Farmall M I am considering restoring and would like any info available. It has an MW clutch on the left side. I have an old Farmall book but it doesn't say any thing about that clutch. Any info will be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Boyd

M&W marketed several products for various brands of tractors. They produced a BUNCH of stuff for Farmall H and M models. Parts for that clutch are not easy to find, and may have to be made, if it needs any. It was NOT factory equipment, though it MIGHT have been dealer-installed. Since it's a '39 model, it was probably added a decade or so later.

The clutch allowed the tractor to stop forward motion and still leave the pto, hydraulics, and belt pulley engaged. This was a great convenience when using a mower, baler, combine, forage chopper, corn picker, etc. It did NOT allow the operator to change gears with the pto running. It operates by disconnecting the power from the left wheel rear wheel of the tractor, allowing the differential to spin free on that side. If kept in adjustment, they work very well. They are NOT intended for use during heavy tillage operations such as plowing. You might be able to find a photocopy of a manual for it on ebay or at a tractor show/swap meet.

The M&W hand clutch was a neat-o addition to leave the PTO running (live PTO) while changing gears and the like. I've never had the opportunity to play with one, but there are sure to be other folk on the International/Farmall discussion list who have tons of experience with these.
