New engine and brakes.

Don't you have to remove the axles and planetaries to put brakes on a 15?

Technically yes, but they're so huge you'll never need to.

I was into our 2090 case over winter, 6700 hours, wet brakes on planetarys still had cross hatch in the fractions. IH planetary brakes are even bigger.

Are those JD fenders?

Yes.

Looks to me like they're from a 43 / 45 / 4620.

Cab style PTO lever. Maybe it had a cab and they stripped that off a long time ago, got the platform right but did not worry about fenders? 
Rattle can Overspray? Wedon’t worry about overspray. Red Stripe edition here we come!

I often wonder why the rattle can paint jobs seem like a good idea.  They always seem to be done with no primer so the color is never right.  Don’t get me wrong if we need to touch something up quick we will use it.  But we are not trying to paint half a tractor or something.

A guy Could do a really good job with rattle cans if he wanted to. Unfortunately most of the craigslist cover-up jobs like that that we see on here, they’re not even trying to hide the fact that they weren’t trying to do a good job. They’re just throwing some color at it

They look like 50/55 series Oliver fenders and took a hammer to make a bulge for the lights to fit.
