The Stage II SM was offered with a live hyd "delete. In which case it could have a belly pump or in some instances no hyds at all.
Over the years many M were updated with live hyds, & other features available on the SMs and as parts broke or wore out were replaced with "non-original" replacement parts. Unfotunately there is no exact science to being absoluely positive a tractor is an M or a Stage I or Stage II SM. Serial number plates have been known to have been replaced, as well as decals or other common identification pieces in an attempt to take adavantage of an unfamiliar buyer. Generally speaking, check the casting codes and other not so easily exchanged items and if enough match it should be good to go . If anything doesn't look "right" then I would be suspicious and would start asking a lot of questions. One thing that usually turns me off on a tractor is when the owner starts blowing about how rare it is, especially if it's a "one of a kind" JM2¢
