Vintage farm worker!

Spotted in the front drive of a farm on the walk we had a few weeks ago through Chaban, this pre 1953 Massey Harris tractor that looks in need of a bit of t.l.c.
Now I'm not claiming to be an expert on this kind of thing but did manage to find out that in 1953 Massey Harris merged with the Ferguson Company to form Massey Harris Ferguson, 5 years later in 1958 the company shortened its name to the now very familiar Massey Ferguson.
Considering the tractor is at least 60 years old it looks in pretty good condition really, but I couldn't find any markings on it to find its exact age unfortunately!
