Chad - S/N indicates your M is a '51. I don't know the HP offhand but believe it's in the mid to high 30's... Generator belt tension is set by screwing the rear flange on the generator sheave in or out.

Around here used NF bolsters are fairly plentiful. Every M changed over to a wide front - and many of them were - will have an NF bolster assembly left over. Visit your local tractor boneyard, ask around among your tractor-owning friends or post a "wanted" ad on this site. Good luck with your M - you're gonna like it!!
