No way to really know without a dyno, or dragging some equipment that you've pulled with something else for comparison.
If the engine's pure stock and in really good shape, you might have close to Nebraska Test hp. If it's been overhauled for serious farm work, and it's still in good shape, you may have more. Thousands of the old beasts received oversize (264cid) sleeves and pistons, high-compression pistons, and had the governors tinkered with to run rpms beyond factory setting. I've got a '49 M that dynoed 52hp a few years back when it was overhauled the last time.
