Andrew, I agree. I thought Federal first but was swung by the hubcaps. That model Federal had a Hercules JXC engine.

Not an International but about a 1949 Federal as Andrew thought. Flat faced cowl with added cab. Nice find Andrew

Got the better of me today
Sick of chasing my tools SO took a bit of blitz time and finally built a mobile tool bench. Got the frame and top and back done today
Just have to get some drawers folded and mounted and should be a one stop tool shop
