Looks like an early 4500 TLB. At one time there was a foil sticker under the hood with identifying numbers, it is sometimes lost over time. There are numbers stamped into the casting above and behind the starter which will tell model, production code, and serial number.

Pomester is correct. The only tractor with that front axle and those louvered hood sides was the pre-4/1/68 4500. The early 5500 was similar, but it would have 5 louvers on each side of the hood instead of 4.
