If you intended to post a picture, it did not come through.

Simply put, it's yellow because someone painted it yellow. I do not say that to be demean or belittle, I say it as a simple fact. It could be yellow for any number of reasons.

IH did make an "INTERNATIONAL" A Industrial, which was nearly identical to the Farmall save for a couple of features. One being a square tube heavy duty front axle, the second being a foot throttle. I suspect this is what you are asking about when you say, "What front axle is on this tractor...?"

Wow, that is different than any A front axle I've ever seen.
A pic of the entire tractor would be nice. The serial number tag should be on the left seat bracket or between the brake pedels. If no tag then look below #1 spark plugs for the serial number. That will tell us more about what you have, but won't help with front axle ID though.

Sorry havent posted on here in long time it wouldnt take pictures all at once had to put up two at time.

Someone stuck a utility front end under it is all.

I'm sorry, your post is coming up slowly. Serial tag shows it to be a 1949 Farmall C. It has a replacement seat and should be magneto ignition.

At ok. Mag has been taken off and replaced with regular distributor and coil.

You have a 'frankentractor'.Someone grafted a utility style axle to it.Homemade,one of a kind.The yellow is a repaint,it didn't leave the factory like that
You have a mongrel.

That looks like a good sturdy axle, similar to the one under our 340 utility.

There is something awful familiar about that tractor. Where is it located?

 

[SadFarmall]

Farmall C tractors are practically non-existent in Australia, so I may be completely wrong, but those front wheels look very similar to Massey Ferguson fronts.

It was bought in silerton Tn. And went to Milan Tn.

I figured it out its a 240 utility thanks everyone.

There was a guy who use to post here, mostly on the pulling forum, who had one that looked very, very similar to that one. I dont
recall his name, or handle.

The front axle is 240U, the rest is mostly a C.
