Thanks for the replies guys. Now I'm really confused. I assume then that I have some sort of a "parts" or "hybird" tractor, lol and not an original, right? Just when did the square front bolster first appear? I've read that the SMTA had a longer hood. Is that when they first appeared? I've also seen pictures of the 400 series tractors with them. So if the SMTA hood is longer then the M hood, just how much longer is it? Just curious.
D Slater--You say that I need to find an M bolster and other related parts. That of course would be another hood, and what else would I need to get? Would my current steering shaft still work? It does have a char-lynn power steerng unit attached that's not working. The pump that works off the crankshaft is missing it's belt.
One last question. Couldn't I just leave things as is, and proceed with the restoration? The correct police is the least of my worries.
I'm very ignorant about these things, but I'm slowly learning.
Well, I'm off to ebay, to see if any M bolsters are listed. TIA, Patrick
