Live PTO, live hydraulics and 3pt hitch certainly make a tractor more versatile and user friendly. However, I gather that you're doing this more for fun and will not be spending long hours on the machine. If you enjoy the look of the M, not having live hydraulics or PTO will not bother you. We've been using our H with a loader and single action (one-way) hydraulics to load stones, manure, etc. for years and it works just fine on our 16 acre place. I believe you will have little trouble finding a pull-type mower. I would not get worried about a 3-pt conversion kit just yet. There are lots of implements around that you can use with your Farmall and I think you'll enjoy using them. The arrangement you referred to on the M you saw is likely a valve setup for double-action (two-way)hydraulics. This is a nice add-on for some applications, but it is still not live. The hydraulic pump will still stop when you push the clutch pedal in. With regard to TA's, I would steer you away from them because of a potential maintenance problem. There's nothing inherently wrong with them, but their real advantage comes in heavy pulling applications (plowing), and unless you plan to do a lot of plowing, it's really not necessary. Good luck and happy farming, Steve
