First off, thank you everyone for all of the helpful information on this forum. Your posts have been a great help as my brother and I work to restore our SM. I thought it was time to join the forum and share our experiences.
We bought the SM last fall at my father-in-law's estate sale. It had set in a shed for at least 15 years, maybe 20. It only needed a coil wire and started right up! My brother and I grew up on a Kansas farm in the 50's and 60's and when I heard the ole gal fire up I knew we had to own it.
My wife, born in '55, remembers going to the field as a young child sitting on her dad's lap. This SM was his main tractor until some time in the mid 60's when he bought a new Case 830. We don't think he bought the SM new as we found an owners manual showing a neighbor taking delivery of it in 1954.
Two questions. The SN is 8672 J. I believe this makes it a 1952 model, correct? And it has a hydraulic pump between the distributor and timing gear with hoses running back to the belly pump and a bolt on hydraulic control. That would be an after-market add on, right?
