filmed in South America so this can be indeed an US tractor

I don't know anything that matches it.

Could be a Farmall 200 or Massey Ferguson 65 with a narrow front axle? Were there any tractors with a narrow front axle manufactured in South America?

Could be Custom, Montgomery Wards, Simpson Jumbo, Lehr, Rockol. Simpson Jumbo has hubcaps, but does the sheet metal match?

I suppose we could call it a Simpson Jumbo B unless somebody has a better idea.

lightninboy was correct, this is the tractor , but should be "by default" as it was sold under other names like mentioned

"Simpson Jumbo" is the make. "B" is the model for one with a tricycle front end.

^ then it's Jumbo part of make and B the model


here what I found on the other counterparts

Quote According to information we have gathered, including a letter
written in 1978 by an official of Dunham Lehr, Inc., the original
design and engineering was brought into existence by the Indiana
Farm Bureau Coop under the ‘Custom’ name tag.
However,
World War II stopped all plans for production. Later, Lehr acquired
the plans, etc. and marketed roughly 300 units in 1948 and 1949
under the Lehr’s Big Boy name. After Lehr abandoned the
project, it was picked up by someone (unknown to us) who
manufactured approximately 200 units and marketed them by selling
the product to Montgomery Ward. The Lehr name was dropped and these
units were sold under Ward’s name. Color changed from bright
red to blue.
