If you didn't see the first post on this subject it's:

When I bought this tractor several years ago I intended to "Americanize" it.
Now if I ever get around to it I intend to keep it original.
The factory tag is on the back as all the Waterloo tractors but there was a Mannheim
tag with the same number attached to the RH frame rail in front of the engine.
Back in the day we always wondered what the holes at the rear corners of the floor
boards were for. Now you can see.
Also the diff lock pedal is taller to clear the parking brake shaft.
Tom was right. These tractors were built at Waterloo and modified in Germany.
Headlights were on the front instead of on fenders. Wiring harnesses were different.
There was a round tag (about 8") on the front stating kilometers.
As with the diff lock on a '64 tractor other features were offered on tractors for the
European market before they were introduced in the states.
This tractor might have come from a dealer in Holland.
I will attach more pics and info in another post.
