3 cyl diesel ID

Trying to identify a tractor I bought at a sale yesterday. NO sheetmetal or tags. But it is a utility size 3 cyl diesel,cast aluminum valve cover,with cast aluminum trim on the sides of the fuel tank shroud. 3pt,probably '70ish, 30-35hp. sweptback front axles. Any guesses as to what it is?
 
REALLY need a picture! Lots of tractors from the 70/80s meet that descripton.However,Ford motor company donated hundreds of 'tractors' to high schools/FFAs/Voc-Tech schools(my high school/FFA got one)....These were on skids.bare engines/drive trains...NO serial no, wheels,hoods,seats,tin work,gas tanks,hitch parts....Many of those were assembled to make 'running' tractors and sold. You may have one of those.
 
RED,it is an INTERNATIONAL. It has had a rough life but runs great. The cast aluminum valve cover should be a giveaway,just like the sweptback axle. If I can figure out who I loane my farmall tractor book to I would now. In the morning I'll use casting numbers but I'm curious tonite. have a good one.
 
Carl, not to be snide, but if the aluminum valve cover and swept back front axle are supposedly "dead giveaways" you should know what the tractor is...

Swept back front axles were standard features on utility models from the first 300 Utility back in 1955.

The only 3-cylinder diesels I can think of are on the later compact tractors 234-244-254. Nowhere near 35HP, and I'm not sure if the 2WD versions had swept back front axles.
 
Hi, are transmission shift levers on the left between the seat and fender? One lever, Rev/Hi/Lo and the other lever 1-2-3-4?
Could be 454 or 464 with D-179 German Diesel engine.
