They do sell a set of high altitude pistons, but they are not made by IH anymore.There would be a good IH part number I think, but no Firecrater brand pistons that I know of. The ones you can get will be the equivalent and just as good I would suspect. I think just going with the overbore high altitude dome pistons will get you plenty of power for any chore you may want to do. The Super or straight M either will pull the 3 bottom plow in most cases as traction will be a bigger issue than power. These are real work horse tractors. I am fairly sure you can get enough power to do what you want by this. I have worked both my old M's very hard over the years and can't complain about them one bit. The 1950 was used to pick corn with a 2 row mounted NI picker and never lacked for power. Your Super M can be taken to 450 status quite easily. Like has been said it just depends on how much you want to spend and how much power you think you need.
