MD W4. Same engine as an H, but I have never seen the fonts like that, even on an Australian tractor, so Im guessing an older resto/mod and custom decals. It has the front mount pintle hook, which I have seen.
 
I was going for either a W6 or W4, before I saw the rest of the thread. Your brother should have it to assist him in catching up to you in tractors.
 
Almost all tractors here had steel wheels until the late 1940s, mainly due to unavailability and cost of tractor tyres. Much of the country was still being cleared at that time and staking a tyre on a root or stick was really expensive. Putting tyres on the front and leaving steels on the rear was sort of a half way measure.

After my Dad came home from WW2, he put tyres on his 1937 Case C. Made the tractor a pleasure to drive as compared to a chore previously. Sadly he died from his war injuries not long after, but I still have the tractor.
 
Might not be as bad as you think if you ship a container load. Lots of container ship traffic between Australian ports and Gulf of Mexico ports
 
Thanks Bob. There was an old one. In a barn on the ranch we lived on. I never saw it run. It just sat in the barn. Was sold when I was in the Navy.
 
Grandpa Love,

Say if no one is going to grab it I would love to buy the
Rear steel wheels off of it. I am in Minnesota and could make a trip to run down and grab them

My email is [email protected] say in touch!
 
International I6 or W6.

That red thing to the left in the top picture is a 155 baler power unit. The same engine as Farmall Cub.
