"Assume with M I described you would plug hose from the unit on the disk into the coupler and it would raise and lower. Am I correct?"

---------------------------------------------

A "M" (or "H") has "one way" hydraulics. You could use it on a disk with a single hose and it would lift the disk ("power up") and when you pushed the handle all the way forward the weight of the disk would push the cylinder closed and the hydraulic oil would run back into the tractor. With the handle all the way forward the the cylinder would "float" as the wheels of the disk hit bumps and terraces the cylinder would continue to open and close with no (or little) resistance. On a H or M the lift only works when the clutch is out with the tractor moving in gear or when stopped with the transmission in neutral. It will lower with the clutch in any position.

With "two way" hydraulics you have both "power up" and "power down". In this situation you could lift the disk and then lower the disk and lift the wheels completely off the ground. For two way hydraulics you would need to move up to at least a Super M/H with the live hydraulic option (it was an option) or an older unit that has been modified. The hydraulics operate independant of the position of the clutch.

I don't know about your location but that M would have needed to be in exceptional condition (overhaul, new tires, new paint) to bring that in my area, or had relatives bidding on it.
