I don't know what it is exactly, somebody painted it with a brush at one point
so no badges are obvious. I haven't spent a ton of time on it, just a quick
inspection.

That one should not be too hard. On the old narrow front IH the only
really safe way is to hang the front half from a chain hoist. then
we'd block up the rear half on a roller cart . You roll the back
half away from the front half. on those the front half is so top
heavy that trying to block it upresults in a dangerous situation.
Being a two banger, I assume it is a japanese tractor of some sort.
kubota? I saw a Satoh up for auction one time. it was the size of a
lawn tractor, but had full cat 1 3 point hitch. I thought it would
be excellent for a tiller, if I could find a small tiller for it. I
was not able to go on sale day. I think it went cheap because the
trans was "locked up."
