I understand your dilema. I was a JD guy all my life as was my Dad. I ran a M on a baler but that was about it. A few years ago a retired farmer said he wanted to sell his old tractor, it was stuck as the muffler was bad and it was outside. He thought it was a Super M. I asked how much, not interested myself but in case I found someone who was, and he said $100. It had after market 3 point also. Turned out to be a SMTA. Bought it to part out but then just had to get it running and then running better and , well you know the rest. TA was out on the low side when I got it and I ran it that way for a while, had to split it to replace the PTO disconnect and decided to to TA also. I put in rebuilt ramp and rollers as mentioned below and seals, TA clutch was ok and it is great to have TA working. I have live hydraulics and live PTO. Hydraulic pump is in front of distributor on right side, should have hydro tank under the rear of the gas tank and may have a "christmas tree" valve for 2 way hydraulics. As mentioned PTO if live will have "bubble" on back and a long lever on the right side. TA lever is on left and shorter. Rather complicated to adjust clutch and TA but when done is great. I did the TA rebuild for less than $200 but labor was all mine. They are a nice tractor and guess you could paint it green if you want.
