IMHO, If you are moving dirt (with a grader blade) and you want to run a loader on the front I'd look at a bit newer of a tractor than a letter series. Unless someone has added live hydraulic to a straight letter series the Lift-All will be a PITA for running a loader... every time you push the clutch in you have no hydraulic output as the belly pump stops running.
A fast hitch is needed at a minimum really to run a grader blade (again MHO). You can add 3 point adapters to the receivers and run a mounted grader blade or try to find a fast hitch blade. A true 3 point would be even better. Most implements you see today are fully mounted (IE 3 point attached). Again, unless someone has added an aftermarket 3 point or put a fast hitch on it, a letter series H or M will have nothing but a draw bar.
The Super series of H and M were available with live hydraulic as an option until the stage II SM and SH. The 300, 350, 400, 450 had factory options for fast hitch, live PTO, Live hydraulic, power steering, TA, etc and up to 3 different hydraulic circuits. A bit more functional and a bit more complicated than the letter series. Yet essentially the same chassis size, engine and frame layout.
Then, really, the newer you get from there the more evolved the tractors become and the more bells and whistles you'll see... guess it all depends on what you want to do, how willing you are to put in the effort to do things and how much you want to spend.

The generator was shot as well as all the wiring. I dropped off the tractor expecting a transformation from a 6 volt to a 12 volt system utilizing the original generator housing, and a total rewiring of the whole tractor. The front end center pin bushing was worn also so I ask that they replace it if they had time. Well, that�s wha
