I have been away and havn't been around computer is reason for late reply. The drop housings on high drum pickers contained bull gears, not chain drives. This reversed the operation of the tractor for cotton picker. Low drum pickers did not use the bull gears and had the transmission reversed by installing a reverse transmission top and flipping the differential. This same arrangement with bull gears was used on all high drum pickers from the M (early 40"s) through the 560 (early 60's). Would also work on a 656 but we were not selling one row high drum pickers then. Cotton picker tractors were not MV's. Any M could be made into a high drum picker tractor by changing the rear housings to flange type housings or a low drum picker by installing a reversable transmission top. From the factory, if you ordered a high drum cotton picker tractor ypou got the flange type axle housings and reflective paint under the hood. If you orederd a low drum cotton picker tractor you got the reversable transmission top and reflective paint. The high drum used a 7:50 x 20 tire and the low drum used a 750 x 16 tire.
