I can see/understand why some people would think that. I've seen it many times myself.
It's hard to say what happened here, since it's history is untold. Could be that somebody mistreated it and then just drove it here, shut it off, and this is what it looks like today. Or it could be that somebody ruined a back tire, couldn't ever afford a new one, some restoration guy stole the hood, and tractor was sold with the farm, and the new owner accidently backed into the side of the grill with a combine or swather years later. As you can tell by these 2 explanations, it's history could tell two very different stories about it's present condition.
