In Reply to: Farmall M Oil Pump posted by Dave on March 06, 1998 at 20:44:10:
: I have a Farmall M tractor with a F-11 Loader. The tractor runs very well, but the loader is operated with a PTO driven pump. Is it possible to either convert to a live PTO, or have an oil pump driven from the engine directly ?
The live pump from a super M, 400, 450, etc will fit directly on your tractor providing it was manufactured after 1945-46. The earlier M's had different hole spacing on the timing cover preventing these pumps from working. I learned first hand about this problem. The solution is an M&W pump. It doesn't quite match the original for appearances, but does have slotted openings in the upper 2 bolt holes to allow for both bolt patterns. Good luck.
