That's an original factory IH wide front end for an M.
All the tires are shot. Used tires are difficult to find, and new tires will run you about $2000 for all four.
It doesn't run, one of those typical "ran when parked." You have no idea if all it needs is some fresh fuel and a battery, or a full overhaul.
You also have no idea of the condition of the transmission, though Ms transmissions are usually pretty decent.
Is the engine free at least?
That tractor is worth $750 as scrap. You can get an easy $400-600 out of the front end by itself if it's not all busted up. If the engine is free that makes it more valuable. A compression check of more than 100PSI is a pretty good indication that you might have a runner.
