It looks like the Ardin RS2 made around 1950.
The Lindsay drive is not original but would be better than the original spring drive.

I may be wrong about this one as it could be a Red Ball RS3, or even an International Models.
All 3 of these models were very similar.

Yeah, the cab window on the Red Ball one looks just a little bit off.
