G'day geenhorn,
I guess it's a Tractor 8 but it is intriguing. I've not seen that front end without the white insert or that style of decal before. Also the rear mugguard and associated transmission cowl shape is different - more like that on the later version of the HD8 (i.e the HD8 with the same body shape as your white one but with the forward sloping mudguards) and not entirely the same as PhippH's machine. Also the rear tyre size? Perhaps there is a chance the engine is original and so the code may be a pointer to date. Also, the tractors I've seen have a 4 digit serial number (sometimes followed by a letter) stamped on the top of the front axle beam mounting channel. I'd be interested to know if you have this number and what it is.
I'll check on the axle but I've already given away a couple locally, one is broken like yours, one has been badly repaired for the same reason, one is bent,........let me get back to you.
Cheers,
