Help to identify this tractor

[skylarkguy]

I'm hoping for a positve ID on this tractor. It was my grandfather's, although it is my dad driving it in the pict. In the trailer are my cousins and I. The photo is dated 1976. Sorry i don't have any additional photos. Even though i am in this picture...i have zero recollection of it. (I was six years old).
Thanks

Gonna guess Super A Farmall...

Agreed.

With the Deluxe style seat, large spoke steering wheel with center cap. I'd have to guess it to be a 140, if all original.

I was going to guess Farmall 100 (1954-1956), or the Super A (1947-1954), but DJ54 makes a good point about the seat of the IH 140 (1958-1979) 1979??!! -Really?

Looking into models on TractorData.com, now I'm really confused on Farmall vs IH as each seemed to have models with same model number, but different years of production. What's the story?

I have sen that there are many, many good members here on TBN with a wealth of knowledge greater than mine.
But I was the first to answer, and that was the best I could do.
I am very pleased with myself for getting in the ballpark.

Generally speaking, the Farmall was a row crop tractor, that sat higher, and had an adjustable front axle, longer rear axle's to adjust to various row width's. I'd have to say mainly for cultivating. IH was usually a utility type, lower profile, with smaller rear tires, where it may, or may not have an adjustable front axle, but, usually the rear axles had a hub, and pressed steel wheels that bolted to it. Some adjustment was possible by turning the dish in the wheel in, or out, or setting the loops on the rim, on the inside, or outside of the dish wheel. where the Farmall's had a rim that bolted to a large straight cast wheel. Even with that being said, there were more than several combinations you could get, I'm sure.
