Possibly a McCormick WK-40 or WD-40. Kind of big to be a 15-30 or 22-36.

I forgot about that. It does look like a four banger, so most likely a 22-36.

It is an early IH 15-30. From 1921-1925 they had the roller bearings in the front wheels instead of the later tapered bearings. So this one is from 1921-1925.

McCormick 40 is correct. Early 15-30.

Anyone know the year for this?

The front wheels with the tapered bearings have a much larger center hub in them that the spokes fasten too.

McCormick 40, thanks for the replies. So 1921 to 1925? This sounds more in line with my thoughts because Grandpa bought a new Farmall Regular on April 28th, 1930 so I thought why would he have a 22-36 which came out about the same time.
After some researching I learned that the 15-30 and 22-36 were actually the same machine, just updated.
I also learned the 15-30 was not called a McCormick Deering until 1922. Does that not look like a McCormick D. decal on the right side view?
So can I safely assume I can narrow it down to a 15-30 between 1922 and 1925?
What I was reading listed many other changes in those years as far as air cleaners, carbs, sheet metal louvers etc. but I can't see much of any of that stuff in such a poor picture to even know what they're talking about.
Also, I didn't see a lot of pictures on the net with the tall air stack. Is that a factory thing? Did they use it all years or just a few?
I also read the wheels lugs were angle iron early and the spades came later but might be optional in in-between years.
So not sure if that helps me either.
Please let me know if you see anything else. Thanks.
