CAN U I.D. THIS ???

Hello folks, The Red Ed here. I’m normally over on the Farmall page. A local farmer friend of mine owns a piece of land that has an abandoned tractor on it. We would like to identify it.
It’s a small row crop tractor, rear wheels are 11.2-34’s with wheel weights. The rear axles are adjustable by a sliding hub on a keyway type axle shaft. The front end is of the twin cambered tire, narrow type. The front wheels appear to be 14x5’s though the tires are so deteriorated that I couldn’t find a size. The hitch appears to be an early, two point type with a hydraulic ram under the centerline seat. The seat is mounted on a coil spring dampened by a shock absorber (quite like a Farmall M).The engine is an in-line, flat head four cylinder, gas. The carb is an updraft, mounted on the right side, the air cleaner is the oil bath mess type mounted on the left side under the hood. The exhaust is on the left and appears to have exited down or possibly to the back. There are two tappet covers on the right side. The distributor (coil type) is mounted in the center of the flat head.
The charging system is six volts by generator. The battery is located on the centerline in a compartment that forms the lower portion of the dash.
The steering shaft is horizontal and runs completely covered by the hood to a bolster similar to real early Farmalls.
A section of the driveshaft is exposed between the clutch housing and transmission.
The tractor is frame rail constructed, again similar to the larger letter series Farmalls.
I found a tag on the left side of the block, above the oil pan rail and forward of the old style element oil filter that only contained the following, “ MFC140G 31044 “. An additional clue; the starter has an Autolite tag on it.
I suspect this to be a late 40’s to early 50’s Massey something.
Can any of ya’ll identify it.
Thanks to any and all responders.

Ed
