It looks like an import sort of thing. The hourmeter is in kmh.
I guess it left the factory as an 'open station' tractor and was fitted with an aftermarket cab of the era. Similar machines would have a Duncan cab here in the UK.
Most 6 cylinder tractors had the OPU which was a good cab in its day..

Big job to swap cabs ?

Can you find a cab??
To fit an OPU you might need a longer steering shaft and a column extension. Though there is a possibility of mounting an A/V extension from the later 4 cylinder cab. You may also need different shafts for the rockshaft controls as they will be directly actuated on the auction tractor. There's a linkage from the OPU version.
So, yes, it's doable, you'll need the OPU battery boxes too and the bonnet may be slightly different at the cab end..

I've got a 1975 2130 sat in the shed with an OPU cab on it. Been on farm since new. It has a Farmhand F12 loader on it but that can be removed.

I can get pictures, hours unavailable as hour clock broken but genuine. I would have to get someone to value it.
