Check under the hood(sheet metal in this case).
Some models may say Massey, White, IH, etc on the sheet metal but be made over seas by a different company.This can be good or bad. A friend had 45 hp International, 1980 something model, When he overhauled it that model had a couple of different motors and his happened to be a discontinued model made in India. They sent him four cam shafts,all the wrong size , before putting the old one back in. He was finally told
That motor did not work out well, IH stopped useing it and the company stopped makeing it 10 years ago and all the spare parts have been used up. He also had a Ford about the same age and broke the exhaust manifold. He found out that same tractor had two different manifolds. Lucked out that time ,the one he had was available the other one hard to get and almost three times as costly.
