I picked up a 1951 Farmall M about 6 months ago from a local guy who works on antique tractors and does small pulls with them. Tractor is in great shape and runs fine, engine is also from a Super M per my understanding from him. Mostly bought it because it?s cool and I have always wanted an old farmall lol.
Anyways I?m wondering now if I can use it with a tiller if I bought a 3 point hitch adapter kit for it. The tiller is a 5ft from Rural King. Weighs 727 pounds. So main questions are will I need front weights and from I have been reading on other pages I have a belly pump model? I have hydronic two ports on the right side coming from the ?belly? of the tractor roughly in the middle . There is also 1 lever that runs up to the operator which I assume is for engage/disengage or raise/lower.
Based on that I read I can only lift the tiller if the clutch is released (I?m driving) and it?s gravity lowered. Any truth to this? Would it be feasible to operate the tiller this way? Also I?m assuming every time I need to stop that the tiller will lower lol?
Please forgive all my noob questions. Just trying to see what I would be getting into if I make these purchases. Thanks in advance!
