New guy needs help please

I was recently given a tractor which I believe is a cub. The operator sits off to the right hand side. It was yellow at one time, but was poorly painted red. The only casting numbers that I could find were on the right side of the trans and is 351687-R8. If there is a stamped plate on it, it's been painted over several times. The tractor has a story with it, it was 1 of 2 that was used to mow Veterans stadium back in the 70s. While I do have a mechanical background, I'm new to older tractors and would be grateful for any help.
 
I googled the part number and it came up as a clutch housing for a International 140.

Look for a silver serial number tag some where either under the seat or
on the right side front. That will tell us what we need to help identify
the model and year of your new tractor.

Help us narrow it down for you. 3 speed transmission makes it a Cub; if a 4 speed transmission, then you are up to the next 'bigger' tractors: Super A, 100,
130, and 140 tractors. Pictures will certainly help.
 

I found the tag on the bellhousing, it's a 140. Serial# is 43786J. Sorry, I haven't figured out how to post pics yet. Thank you all very much for the help, does the site use a point system of some kind where I can show my appreciation?

Great acquisition! They are powerful for their size, run well and thrifty on fuel. They do not tip over to the left easily
as the right wheel is heavy cast iron, and the left is much lighter steel. There are attachments that make it work from
plowing to snow removal. It is good for cultivation and mowing as well. We have this tractor covered with information, so
just ask away for info. This site sells manuals and massive numbers of wear parts to make it operational. Jim
 
Thank you all very much for your help! It does need some seals replaced, and I'd like to put a snow plow on it. Yall are great!
 
Light little tractors don't make good snow plows. Snow and dirt take power and weight to move. Especially wet heavy snow. Also those models less than the H with no frame are severely subject to block breakage from pulling on the front axles when stuck and snow plows on the front. I would suggest if you have much snow I would find something bigger for the snow work. I know those cubs and such are cute cuddly toys though they are not much for heavy work like that.
 
A 140 with chains can work modest snow easily. It is certainly not going to deal with 12 inches of wet snow very well, but clearing a drive of modest snow is well within the expectations. Mid USA (north to south) falls in that category. Jim
 
Looks like someone adapted a home brew power steering system to it. That may complicate things when you try to take that hydraulic mower off the tractor. It will depend on how the installer configured the system.
 
Yes, it has power steering, I'm going to try to clean it up a bit and refab the tank mount. I was thinking of tapping into it to lift the snow plow. I'm thinking of putting an atv plow on it now. I was going to try a 6ft pickup plow, but I wasn't thinking about no frame there. Definitely don't want to break the block.
The mower runs off of the pulley on the rear, might try to make the plow frame mount up to the mower mount and just take the mower off in the fall. I'm in Lancaster PA, we get 1 or 2 big snows a year and I have a 254 with a loader for that. You guys are giving me so much to think about, Thank You All!
