I don't know anything about SAME other than it's a European agricultural manufacturing consortium. Here's a listing of SAME models, with specs. Maybe you can find one that matches up with your machine, which looks to be maybe 30-40 years old:

I'm guessing either Corsaro, Saturno or Minitauro, depending on horsepower. Possibly Leone or Falcon. Hard to say from the photos

Thanks for the help
i think its a Corsaro or Saturno
but it looks like the steering boxs are the same so
i can start my search

I'd be really surprised if the boxes were not the same. Good luck with your search.
FWIW, those are real tough old tractors. The dealership where I used to work had customers with extremely high hours on their Same's, working in pretty rugged country. The hub pivot bearings in the front axle used to take a bit of a beating, especially if the tractor had a loader. Other than that, they just kept on giving.
I loved the bigger 5 and 6 cylinder models; they had a sound and personality that was totally unique.
Look after your blower belts.

DeutzFahr/USA is the OEM supplier... either a dealer or online, and there appear to be any number of used tractor part suppliers online (do a search for "Same tractor parts"). So, in theory, finding what you need shouldn't be too bad. I hope the reality is also easy for you. Best of luck.

yep, Same is part of the Deutz group now. It's well worth googling Same tractors to get a company history, if you're interested in that sort of thing. The Cassani brothers were ahead of their time, IMO
