Interesting tread pattern on the rears. I know the military of the period used non-directional mud grips, and farmers used directional self cleaning lugs. This looks like a combination making it partially self cleaning while also being non-directional.
I had a TO-20 years ago and that rod for a brake pedal (I think) reminds me of it. I know TO was US built and TE was European but don't know where nor the differences in the two versions......comments?????
I think it had the continental 4 cyl OHV vs the N series Flat Head. I know GM got into OHVs early and hard headed Henry stayed with his Flat heads....comments????
On his flatheads, I started out with them and experienced the problems that occurred when you took an engine that worked ok as an inline but was not well suited to a V design with the exhaust passage outlet problem and over heating.......cracked blocks at the exhaust valve and all. I didn't realize at the time why Fords V8s had 2 sets of radiator hoses....didn't realize that it meant 2 water pumps too..... and other engines had only one......being a kid, I thought that meant that the Ford was huskier.........
On the "Old Iron" picture I think I see an oil filter mounted inverted on that rust bucket. Interesting they knew to filter the oil back then. I had a '64 Rambler American, 3 main, 6 cyl, old design (new 7 main engines came out in '65 and sorely needed) and it had an oil filter scabbed on like that. However there was a significant difference....that one has a drain plug in the mounting flange.....the Rambler didn't! Bought it new and was the only engine I ever owned that needed lower bearings at around 60k miles and I kept my oil clean.

Today's Featured Article - Talk of the Town: Winterizing Engines - To Drain or Not to Drain? - by Russ Berry. What is this strange attraction I have to equipment and machinery? How did I get this way? I came from the suburbs and own a small horse farm in rural Loudoun County, Virginia. You can call me a "weekend farmer." The local farmers do. Does it bother me? No. I am just happy to have their friendship. At least the word "farmer" is in my title. But what is the attraction? How can I explain the sensation and exhilaration I feel when I turn the key and hear the engine come to life (most
