Live hyraulics came in about '53 on the Super M. Some of the older M tractors have live hydraulics by virtue of an M&W pump. Power steering on the M and SM were all aftermarket setups from Behlen or Charlynn. A 3pt hitch is handy, but make sure you get a good one. I have one that's functional, but not a real good one, and it is an occasional source of frustration.

Most had power steering, they came with live hydraulics and pto, and most came with the TA feature, giving 10 forward speeds instead of 5.
