Awhile back i asked if a 45 john deere loader would fit on a farmall m? Just give an up date on my prodject i didn,t get the loader after all. I have a number 30 ihc on my m. The cylinder was leaking really bad but i had another cylinder that i put on . This cylinder had set for along time so put some bars motor stop leak in it for about 6 weeks finally got a break in the weather so i could put it on the loader it worked just fine. Now i don,t need a loader. I am 80 years old have a79 year old tractor and 75 year old loader we all three have seen better days but we are like that timex watch that takes a licking and keeps on ticking.
