The stage 2 super M (live hydraulics powered by pump behind distributor) came out in 1953. The serial number for the first stage 2 is shown below. Remember guys, we collectors call them by stages - not IH.
First SM Illinois Stage 2: F 28175
First SM Louisville Stage 2: L 504802
First SMD Stage 2: F 28181
First SMV Stage 2: F 28200

Thanks Mike, that's just what I was looking for.
I have a couple of books that refer to the various stages, but never when they happened.
So:
Stage I = Super M
Stage II = Super M w/Live hydraulics & rearranged battery etc.
Stage III = 300
I've also read they had a Stage IV, which I'm assuming became the 350.
