Pretty sure it's a 2404 or 2504 with the obvious overbite of grill..

I still have not been able to locate the plate showing model/serial number. I bushhogged with it a couple hours last Saturday before it began running hot. I pulled the grill and discovered a rats nest between the grill and radiator. I got busy cleaning that out and forgot to take a better look for the plate. I am really interested in what the HP is rated. Since I am cutting about 40 acres on limited time, I'd like to get the biggest mower possible. THanks for all the help so far.

From the photo, it is definately an industrial varient of the IH 424 or 444. So you are looking at a 2424 or 2444. I believe they were rated at about 38 hp.

I don't think it's 24, 44, 54 etc. They all were vertical grill/sidecovers or had underbite (bottom of grill slant fwd). Just post the engine s/n and I might can find hp if that's all that matters. No matter which model it will be 35-40ptohp, so you can base cutter size on that..

MMM, I am not so sure the cast industrial grills had the underbite.
Maybe so though. Whish I had a cast grill for my 2444.

Here's a pic, although not the best angle. Note sidecover.

What is that one MMM? side covers nor grill look like a 4 type. My sidecovers at the front are narrower at the bottom than the top on my 2444. And yes my grill slants back. but I have not seen a 2444 with the cast grill either, so am not sure. Can check my manuals.

That's the 2404. All other subsequent 4 series slant like yours or are vertical as far as I know. There's a 504 just arrived on ebay today (a bit overpriced and should be there a while)

Got price mixed up with different old tractor. That's not unreasonable start bid considering work done on it. Farmall and International 04s had differnt engines if I remember correct.
