My neighbor has a 1953 John Deere M series tractor that he can't get started. Is there anywhere I can get a service manual for reference?

I bought one at a tractor show on a dvd years ago

does anyone know what the pto speed is on an old JDeere M?
Curious if it can handle a bush hog

It should be 550 so yes it will turn the correct RPM for a bush hog.

Thanks for the reply I’ll give it a shot

My 420 (upgrade model of the M series) handled a 5' rotary mower for many years. And after an engine overhaul, it handled it much much better.

Correct on the rpm PTO of 550 speed. And ditto on the overrun clutch too. Made a world of difference.
