What's this old timer? was created by Mangoman

I remembered back to 2009 when I found this old tractor. Anyone know what I had found? Just curious. D8 2U converted sideboom? Last time I spotted it a couple years ago it looked quite a bit rougher yet again. Sorry I know again I've posted a crappy pic 🙂

It looks earlier than a 2U or 8R. Maybe a 1H?

With that radiator it would be a 1H D8, also has 75,RD-8 carrier rollers, late 1H air cleaner, later solid front idlers This would be a Trackson MD-8 pipelayer setup.
