Randy, the seat you describe on your M is the Monroe seat which has a long shock absorber at the rear. I believe this is an aftermarket item like your M&W 9 speed. My brother-in-law has one on his 1948 M and he is not heavy enough to compress the spring and shock at 170 pounds. His legs wear out after a couple of hours holding him back in the seat. I believe the curved pipe seat (with a big spring in the front) was standard with an upgrade to the one with the mid-mounted shock being available at additional cost when the tractor was originally purchased. Your tractor probably came with the pipe seat which was upgraded to the Monroe seat at some time later.
The engine serial number not matching the chassis s/n is quite common as no attempt was made to match them at the factory. I believe I read somewhere certain models were matched but a M was not.
I think you have the carb correct as far as the draincock goes as that is the way it is on a Super C and I can't recall what my gas M is like. Someone else can give you the carb specifics or send me an email and I'll look at mine tomorrow. Hope this helps, Hal
