i just bought a 44 farmall m from a friend.it has a m-w live pto...m-w throttle..and something i have never seen on a m. it has little round mirror on a bracket about 2 feet long bolted on the m-w throttle bracket that sticks out on the right side. it looks like it came with the throttle from m-w.i was just wondering if i should take it off or leave it when i restore it .it don't look homemade.my friend was the second owner of the tractor.he said it was on the tractor when he bought it. he let the motor stick i have got it unstuck and getting ready to put it back together can't wait to hear it run it was stuck for about 5 years but as soon as he knew was stuck he filled it with diesel and tranny fluid and parked in the weeds i took it a part same day i bought it. it has new rear tires and strait tin and three point hitch i gave 500.00 for it. sorry so long of a post but i have had a lot of farmalls but never seen on with a mirror.thanks in advance for the help

The mirror must be that rare option called, "The Farmers Wife Option." She could check her make-up while she was out spreading manure.

Sounds like you got a nice tractor when you get it going.

Are you going to need the mirror to check on the progress of the cops when you try to outrun them? I am like Svensen and don't see the need for the mirror. But then again if you are going to leave the 3 point hitch on, and the M&W throttle and live P.T.O., what's a mirror going to hurt. An original tractor is an original tractor and one that is not, is not. I have never seen one with a mirror but why stop with a mirror. Why not turn signals and break lights too. The fun part about restoring a tractor is doing it the way you want. So put it together how you like it.

Now that you have me curious, what is the mirror for? On the throttle?

I think the mirror is for the operator to see himself smiling from the satisfaction of driving any M.
