Heyyyy... nice tractor! It just so happens that I have the EXACT same tractor. Woot, woot! Same 1951 model year and everything. I'm the verified 2nd owner of mine. We bought it from the original purchaser, about 20 years ago now. Good lord, time sure flies! Anyhow, I can honestly tell you from my own personal experience that your little MT tractor most likely needs some electrical (ignition system) work, as well as some carburetor tuning. I can tell by the sound of the engine that it's intermittently mis-firing & is also running on only 1-cyl instead of both, all the time. (Mine used to do it also, and it was very annoying, to say the least.) In my MT's particular situation, we had to replace the entire distributor assy with a rebuilt one, due to a worn distributor shaft that used to allow the ignition timing to fluctuate too much, causing random mis-firing & cylinder drop-out. It sure was annoying & it took us quite a while to finally figure out/diagnose the actual underlying cause of the mis-firing problem. Furthermore, a good tune up (new properly gapped distributor points, condenser, distributor cap, rotor, spark plugs & some QUALITY spark plug wires) all go a really long ways to improving the operation of ALL of the old gasoline engine farm tractors - no matter the make or model. P.S. You'll want to buy a high-quality aftermarket universal spark plug wire kit & make your own wires. Just bite the bullet & buy some quality parts. A spark-ignition engine's ignition wiring isn't the place to "cheap-out" & use inferior junk. If you do, you'll only have regrets a short while later. (Guess how I know... LOL) The cheap crap "universal wiring kit" that both John Deere AND Tractor Supply offer are of very poor-quality & are simply put, absolute trash. (They should be ashamed for selling such garbage.) If my memory serves me correctly, I believe quality universal ignition wiring kits can be obtained from places like Summit Racing, JEG'S, or by ordering from your local auto parts store, IF you can find a competent enough employee to assist you in getting the correct wires. (Meh, good luck with that.) A few years ago, I installed custom (I personally bought a universal kit & I "made" them up.) 8mm silicone wires on my friend's gasoline JD 4020. Man, what an improvement over the absolute crap that JD offered! I think they were MSD brand, or possibly ACCEL brand wires. Doesn't really matter the "brand", it's more about the quality & diameter of ignition wire that you're getting. (Bigger diameter wires & more flexible sheathing at all temperatures is what is most ideal.) Good luck & since today happens to be Thanksgiving 2023, hope you have a happy one!
Oh, one other thing to mention... The hydraulics in the model M & MT tractors are famous for being "whiny" on these tractors. For some reason, the hydraulic pumps on these tractors tended to cavitate, (mixing air & oil), leading to the weird hydraulic whining sounds. Hate to say that it's "normal", per-se, but it kind of is, on these particular model of tractors. Furthermore, I'm sure the hydraulic fluid could use a changing out & proper refill. Most people tend to neglect the many fluids used in tractors for literal decades. Crazy, I know, but it happens a lot. Buy & use some quality transmission/hydraulic fluid. The least expensive option would prolly be Tractor Supply's house brand of "Premium" Trans/Hyd fluid. Used to come in a black 5-gallon bucket. I haven't bought any recently, so not sure if the bucket coloring is still same or different now. Whatever you do, DON'T use that cheap "303" or similar "hydraulic only" fluid. Used to be sold in a yellow bucket. That absolute garbage should be illegal for them to even sell. Not getting into why, as I could write a book on why it's absolute crap. When it comes to hydraulic & transmission fluids, you typically do get what you pay for. Here's a really quick "lesson" regarding trans/hyd fluids: If you're feelin' a bit "richer", JD's Hy-Gard, CaseIH's Hy-Tran, Kubota's UDT, and Massey Ferguson's Permatran III, are all excellent interchangeable hyd/trans fluid choices as well. In general, most all higher-quality trans/hyd fluids that meet the J20C specification (similar to a SAE10W-20 oil or AW46/AW68 viscosity hydraulic fluids) are all backwards compatible for older equipment use, as well as most newer stuff, in normal spring/summer/fall & moderate winter weather conditions. That said, lower viscosity hydraulic fluids, such as John Deere's J20D specification "Low-Vis Hy-Gard" (similar to an AW32 hyd fluid, but with different additives) should be used in hydrostatic transmission/hydraulic system applications, where the machine will be used all year around, as it flows better in the colder winter temps. This is more commonly used in most all lawn & garden tractor applications, as well as both compact & full-size farm tractors with powershift or hydrostatic transmissions, when used in the winter months a lot. Meh... I'm rambling. Sorry, but it's all pretty useful knowledge (that is unfortunately, not very well known) for most everyone that owns any type of equipment that uses transmission/hydraulic fluids.

Just needs a little love and tuning.
