I have a Super M manual, printed in late 1953, that shows a Stage II Super M with a belly pump. The battery under the seat is clearly visible, as are other telltale signs of "Stage II-ishness."

CKNS, you gotta remember that even in the early '50s, many farmers were still wary of technology, and live hydraulics were new and scary to some... Or, at least IH thought so.

Why do you think they went through so many iterations of what is basically an M with more and more stuff bolted on it between 1952 and 1958? They saw what happened to Oliver, who put too many modern innovations into their tractors before the market was ready to embrace them, and paid the price.
