I have a 1954 Super M. It has a hydraulic unit under that gas tank, and a functioning (apparently) hydraulic pump.
I purchased the tractor without a hydraulic cylinder. The Tractor had been restored/rebuilt before I purchased it. The hydraulic cylinder was removed by the restorer, but was reported to have been in use prior to being restored.
How do I determine the cyclinder size for a replacement? How do I determine which line to connect to what input/output on the replacement cylinder (when I purchase the correct size).
What do I need to know about they system before I attempt to use it?
Is there any way to damage the hydraulic system by being completely NEW at working with hydraulics?
I have owned another Farmall, an H, but it had only a draw bar and belt, no hydraulics.
There is a lever, attached to a rod, on the unit under the gas tank. It does appear to work/function when pulled, but does not have any way to hold/secure it after being pulled/engaged.

To top that off, you have a cup with oil in it ("why would you want to lubricate your carburetor?"). On closer examination (and some reading in a AC D-14 service manual), I found out that this is a pretty ingenious method of cleaning the air in the tractor's intake tract.
