Looks like it might be a D series. Single cylinder engine suggests that it is a 16 horse D 160.

It doesn’t look like a D series to me.  Jacobson, maybe?

Bit of a Power King look to the front of the hood.  

@Stepney... ?

Nope not a D- Series or even a Wheel Horse, but other than that I don’t know what it is? I’m curious to know though! Someone here will know, just give it a little time.

Definitely not a  but sure does have character.

Looks like a Power King to me.  So, did you buy it?

Got this text from @Stepney this morning. 

I can honestly say I don't know anyone who knows more about various tractor and equipment models over the years. 

 

He's thinking it's a Terramite.

I'm pretty sure it's the Terramite.  Yep, I bought it.  Thanks

The early models of those were on a Power King chassis I believe

Thank you @ebinmaine.  I'm pretty sure it's the Terramite. I bought it and am really looking forward to the project.   Was hell getting it on the trailer and getting it home.   I've got tons of questions but maybe I'm in the wrong forum now.  Let me know if you want more picks/information. 

 

Just found a youtube series at:

Though we do love our Wheel Horses most of us love seeing any rusty old relic brought back to life. Please share your journey with us.         

This YouTuber may be your best resource but we would be glad to add our   as you go along. A Koehler engine is a Koehler engine no matter it is on, steering is steering, transmissions are transmissions, hydraulics are hydraulics,   and we can learn from one another right along with you.
