I would guess Modern Tool & Die Company aka MTD, probably from the 60's

Scored this 129 yesterday for $375. Doesn't run yet, but came with a 48" mower deck, 2 extra mule drives, IH snow plow, AND (drumroll please) an IH snow blower attachment. The screw on the blower is in rough shape, like they used it to clear snow off a boulder field, but a little hammer/welder/grinder love and some spray paint should get it back into half decent shape. It probably needs some serious lubing up as well, the chain looks rusty as hell.
The only physical damage I could see was a few cracks in the fiberglass cowling near the driver end. Also came with the original IH service manual and probably every receipt for service it's ever had.

That's only half of it. I've been accused of being sick In the Head (see what I did there?) Even the utility trailer the Cub is sitting in is the back half of a D series IH pickup. Not in view are my 73 Scout II, my 62 Scout 80, my Cub 104, a 1950 IH refrigerator, a 1954 IH refrigerator (kegerator), and an IH chest freezer that I think is called a 104 as well, but I'm not sure on that. The 129 is my personal reward for finally paying off my student loans. I'm free, free, free at last!
