Those are Firestone Ground Grip tires, and they look oversize for that tractor.  From the way they fit in the fender, they are probably 13-28's.  I've seen some that size right from the factory, may have been all they could get during and right after WWII.  Normally they would have a 10-28 from the factory.
The bracket on the front may have been the guide for the rope or chain for the mounted corn planter markers. The older markers swung forward instead of up. 
Most problems can be solved with the proper application of high explosives.

We had a mounted mower like that on our only farm tractor- an RC.  What a miserable job to get the holes lined up to the frame to mount it.  'Course, had to take it off after cutting so we could get back in the barn with the tractor to clean the barn as the mower was too high to fit thru the door.  Then, had to put it back on again  to cut the next field .  I was only about 6 or 7 at the time, and couldn't lift very much with the crow bar!  66 now tho, and still remember the problems getting the mower mounted.
