Inherited my dads 1947 Farmall M. Put a front loader on it, want to make sure the hydraulic connections are right.There is one fitting on right and two on left. How do I hook up and what are each fittings for? Thanks for anyhelp.

Can you post some pictures? The connections from the lift all pump (I presume it is a lift all pump and not live hydraulics?) are easily seen from the owner's manual. Same for H, M, AM and Super AM (not sure about Super M). As for your front end loader, need to see some pics to help work out what you need.

Hook it to the single port or the one directly across from it on the other side. The other is a delayed lift port for use with a cultivator.

The single port on the right, and the forward port on the left are already connected together inside of the hydraulic belly pump, so the cylinder on the left side of the loader can be connected to the forward port on the left, and the cylinder on the right side of the loader can be connected to the port on the right. The rear port on the left needs to have a pipe plug in it. You will not use it.

Rustyfarmalls reply raised a question. I recently installed a Saginaw 3 point hitch on an M. I ran one hydraulic from the pump to the rear of the tractor and then split with a tee to the cylinders. Would it have been more efficient to run two hydraulic lines, one from each side of the belly pump? Ellis Kinney

prolly doesnt really matter. if anything, hooking to both front ports on the belly pump may give a little faster response from the 3 point hitch.

Mines been like that for years, both on my Saginaw and my Worksaver.

Not likely you would notice any difference. There basically is just one outlet from the pump. The port on the right side and the port on the left side are already "teed" off this port, and for what it's worth, the rear port on the left side is an extension of that "tee" connection. By running a single hose to the rear of the tractor and then using a tee fitting to connect both cylinders, you accomplished the same thing as running 2 hoses, but you didn't need to buy as much hose.

To John M; I also have a saginaw and a worksaver 3 point hitch. I am curious as to which one you prefer and why. Mine are both mounted on M tractors, so I have a good comparison. Thanks , Ellis

The Saginaw! Just seems to work better for some reason. The Worksaver is OK,No major complaints and it was used for years before I got the Saginaw. I did bend one of the arms on the Worksaver though, thats my one compalint about it, its just not too heavy, and when it was bought, it lacked alot of things, like the antisway bars, that the Saginaw has.
