Welcome to the forum, but technically speaking, asking someone to tell you everything about something is not "research." That's called "listening." Still, I'm sure there are plenty of people out there willing to talk about the subject, so you should make out like a bandit!
Right off, you probably picked the rarest year for the Farmall M. 1952 was the year that IH transitioned from the M to the Super M, and only a few thousand plain Ms were made that year, compared to the tens of thousands of Ms that were made each year in the years immediately after WWII.
12V, live hydraulics, power steering, and 3pt will never offered from the factory. They're all add-ons. While many tractors have some of the options, few have them all, and most don't have any of them.
Super Ms didn't have live hydraulics at all until 1953.
So.... Basically you're looking for a rare tractor with a rare combination of options... Hopefully you're willing to spend some money to add them.
Live hydraulics will run you $900 or so.
3pt hitch will run you $800 or so.
IMHO don't trust a used live pump. It was taken off for a reason. Used 3pts come up for sale from time to time, but they're snapped up as soon as they appear if they're the "desirable" Saginaw version.
You may have to look for quite a while to find what you're looking for, and I do wish you good luck.

It was a fairly typical Northern Ireland farm where the main enterprise was dairying but some pigs, poultry and sheep were also kept. Potatoes were grown for sale and oats were grown to be used for cattle and horse feeding. Up to about 1958 the dairy cows were fed hay with some turnips and after that grass silage was the main winter feed. That same year was the last in which flax was grown on the farm. Flax provided the fibre which w
