Question Help to identify this tractor please?

Can someone help identify this tractor please. We know the rear wheels do not belong. The engine is a Wisconsin single . Got us stumped but tractors like this are uncommon in New Zealand . It looks very restorable with good panels. Any information as to make, model, color, year and any pictures would be very much appreciated. You may contact me by email at trevorcole@xtra.co.nz or reply on here.
Thankyou
Trevor Cole

It appears to be a Bolens, model number 800 I think.

Trevor,
My father has a Bolens 800 just like yours and his was built in 1962. It has an S7D Wisconsin engine on it. Rear wheels should be 6.00x12. The original color was a sort of gold with a white hood and wheels. I will see if I can get a photo of my dad's tractor tomorrow. His is all original.

Mike
