James: What hydraulic equipment does the M currently have? I don't think you'll make it on $300. even if the M has belly pump with the one single action dump valve.

Even at salvage yards lower links are going to run $125., top link $35., cylinder will spoil better part of $100., vertical links $60. Then you've got a rear rockshaft, plus fabrication. The rear rockshaft will be the difficult part, finding one the right width to adapt and mount to chassis, and I haven't even mentioned plumbing.

I've built a few hitches this past summer for little offset Farmalls that already had rear rockshafts. One of the problems I encountered was scrap yard 3 point parts were just that, scrap. I found I could buy new after market lower, vertical a top links for very little more money.

Here is what I see, your going to come within $150. of the cost of a new Saginaw hitch, yet you will have a piece of cobled up junk. The Super A, 100, 130 and 140 are quite different, NO ONE currently builds a good hitch for those tractors.
