Very interesting International Harvester - what can you tell me about it?

[Dreadnought]

What model tractor is it? And not that I've seen everything but I've never seen a rear wheel setup like this.
That must have been the bees knees on snow or ice. Any insights?
What brand tires are those? I don't think I've ever seen those either.

I'm guessing an "H" or an "M".
A side picture would help a lot.
Definitely an unusual tire/wheel setup.

Looks like a F12 or 14, set up to paddle through some soft ground or sand or something.

Can't be good on the axles/seals/etc.

Mark, see where the dog’s front paws are standing, that is a stamped steel cover. An H or M would have a cast cover on the rear end. Also the axle housings on an H or M are squareish almost their entire length, with notches for the axle clamps. Those reasons lead me to agree with AMF. I don’t know the F12 or F14 models very well but what is shown agrees with the photos of an F14 on Tractordata. Farmall F14 photos on TD

F-12. (An F-14 would have a u-joint in the steering shaft.)

I think those tires are Goodyear , but don't remember for sure. Dad had a 36 JD B with them on it. If that tire set up is for muck, the front wheels will still not work. I have no idea.

 

[matthies]

Want to do the same thing on a JD A, just for the heck of it. Or at least drive it around more on a smoother ride.

I would say it is an F12 because an H or M did not have that type of steering shaft going to the radiator.

 

[Dreadnought]

The tractor is in Maine, (so am I), my mind always goes straight to snow and ice.
The tire chains also point to winter driving in my thinking.

Tractor is likely an F 12. F 14 has an angled steering shaft. If the steel wheels
kept the tractor up the rubber ones might be useable.

That looks a lot like the F-12 that was abandoned on our farm. It would not have a U joint in the steering shaft.

I envision it pulling log wagon s on a railroad tracks to the mill

 

[SadFarmall]

F12. Steering shaft isn't angled. Off-side rear steel wheel is off an early F12. Near-side rear steel wheel off a later one (or F14). Rubber wheels look likeone French and Hecht and the other an early small-centre steel wheel cut off for a rim and rubber tyre.

It would need the skid chain off the right side.

f12, the f14 had a angled steering shaft and a u joint on the shaft. picture for comparison

 

[Kentucky Gardener]

early f12s used wakuasha engines but in 33 only. can you see the serial number and the stamping on the engine?

I don't think there's an engine in it anymore.
Must've gotten taken out at some point, look between the wheel spokes on the 2nd picture. Also you can see right to the radiator in the first picture.
Those tires would be worth a lot of money if they were good.

Here's the ad. Ten years ago I would have been all over this but I'm in Old Man downsizing mode now.
