The guy told me it was a John Deere - painted Deere green but the nameplate says Ferguson.
Googled around and this puppy pre-dates the 1953 Massey-Ferguson merger. Looks a little bit like this except it only has one plow - this is a two-bottom:
So there is my first winter's project - take this apart and restore it. Get the right color paint on it. Like I said, everything is there and it works so this project should be a fun one!
A bit of interesting history is that it was Ferguson who invented the thee-point hitch (as well as the Power Take-off) back in 1938. Everyone else started making implements to fit so it became the industry norm.
