Did all farmall M tractors come equipped with a belly pump for hydraulics? I am going to go look at a m that is a couple of hours away and noticed that this tractor still had the factory bellhousing caps and no pipe caps coming through the bellhousing. It also doesnt have the control lever. What are the odds that there is a pump in there? How do I tell? Thanks in advance, Brad

I believe all "Standard" pumps had the "Bracket" on the bottom for the S-shaped arms that support the cylinders for mounted equipment.
I do not see that part in your pictures.
 
It was an option one way or another, either option to have hydraulics, or option to not have them, if the tractor did not have them, it had a delete cover plate to keep the area clean, I have an H with that plate and no hydraulics, and I think that "hydraulics delete plate" is somewhat harder to find than a hydraulic pump and connectors.
 
Yep. I was at an auction many years ago at a distant relation to me and there was a M that only had a magneto, belt, and drawbar. No lights, PTO, or hydraulics.
 
Pretty sure the answer to your question is no there is not a pump in it. I would think if you have a stock delete plate on it then it never had one and if it is just open or with a sheet metal piece covering it then it has been removed.

Yes. Electric start and lights were also an extra cost option.
 
I have an early super m parts tractor that had the hyds under the fuel tank and the battery under the seat. There was no belly pump but the delete plate was cast to look exactly like the belly pump. It even has the key holes on the sides for the installation tools. If you walked up to the tractor you would swear it had a belly pump.
