Hello kt.. welcome to YT. You would probably have better luck posting this on the “YT Garden Tractor” forum. Here is a link YT G/T forum

what makes you think it is international harvester? It is green......

A little reasearch done this morning and that is in fact a Huffy, as in Huffman Mfg. Co, Inc.

From Google Image AI:
A vintage Huffy (Huffman Manufacturing Co.) garden tractor from around 1960–1961.
Here is what the identification plate reveals:

• Manufacturer: The bold text across the middle reads "THE HUFFMAN MFG. CO." (The Huffman Manufacturing Company of Dayton, Ohio, famous for making Huffy bicycles as well as a line of outdoor power equipment from 1949 to 1975). [1, 2]
• Model & Spec Numbers: The stamped numbers along the bottom are 50070 and 300, followed by the serial/code K 10....
• Rare Early Production: Huffy's main riding mower lineup—the Parklane, Citation, Ranchero, and Broadlawn series—started around 1962–1963 with 4-digit model numbers (like 4443 and 4444). Your 5-digit 50070 model predates that lineup, making it one of Huffy's earliest, heavy-duty pre-1962 front-engine garden tractors powered by a 7 HP Kohler K161 engine. [1, 2]
• Collector Rarity: Because Huffy is far better known for its later, smaller rear-engine lawn riders, an early 1960s heavy-frame Huffy garden tractor with a horizontal-shaft Kohler engine and agricultural rear tires is quite scarce.

yeah, before I did some research I didn't know if he had a reason to think it was like seeing an IH on it somewhere. Never know what people build themselves, if it cold have been a prototype, could have been painted green, etc......

Don’t fall into the TV’s caldron! I saw in one of his recent replies he was talking about the Girl Scout “Troop” his daughter was involved in apparently many years ago. The first two times it was “trope” the 3rd time was a charm, came out “troop”??

No offense to RTR, but it looks to me like AI or the image search missed the boat. It says Huffman entered the market about 60. Their earliest model from information given are more squared off on the front of the hood. I’m guessing your machine is from the 50’s made by some other manufacturer. This is strictly based on my hunches and gut feelings. Post this again on the Garden Tractor forum and see what folks there say.

Going to agree with you, the manufacturer's name on the tag starts with THE and ends with INC, not CO., as would be if it was Huffman Manufacturing Co.

More pictures of the tag, centered and horizontal, might help make out the name. A light rubbing with rag and some WD40, or such, might help bring it out. Sometimes a flashlight at different angles across the tag will help make out letters

As you mentioned, the Garden Tractors forum might get some views from those that don't follow this forum.

I don't think it's an IH lawnmower either, I had seen somewhere that it might be a Mark VII lawn mower?

Don't know anything about it, just what a Google search pulled up.

Shoot, now I can't find that information anymore.
