First, let me say that you are in excellent company here and will get much great advice. Congrats on aquiring your 'dream tractor'. I have a special spot in my heart for MY Super 'M'.
As for your lift, most tractors will typically lift enough weight to bring the front of the tractor right off the ground so a set of iron weights will become necessary to go to 1,500 lbs with many models. Not certain of the geometry on your 'M' tho. Most of the 'aftermarket' boompoles are very cheaply made and probably will be a great disappointment for your needs. There are several threads in the archives here that address this subject. Some with pics and or dimensional drawings. Remember that a triangle is the strongest geometric shape so a longer pole made to look like a 'truss' is a good start. Hope this helped, jim ps.......starting a tractor project at 65 plus don't sound 'old' to me.....good for you!
