IH dealer from years back

[MikeDiettrich]

A local farm friend had an auctioneer do an online auction that worked out very well. He spent a great deal of time analyzing each piece of equipment so buyers knew what they were getting.Again how much time/cost do you want to invest?Certainly this forum would expose you to many potential buyers .The thing about auctions you have to disconnect your emotions! I do numbers a lot .If you have 22 machines and just 3 people came to see each one that's 66 phone calls/appointments ,etc.. and "tire kickers" are everywhere....Shipping heavy parts is economically challenging....I'll shut up now....

I am not completely sold on the idea of an auctioneer fearing they may just want to move equipment. I appreciate the input.
I caught a flu bug late last week and am now just feeling better.

Hello BWilkins it has been 4 years and the tractors have not moved, sold a few parts along the way. If you are interested I could give you a showing. I ran through and made a list of tractors; International 800, 104, 123 (3), 149, 70 (2), Cub Cadet International (2), 122 body only, 100, 106, 129 and Farmall Cub (2).

What is the condition of the 149? I have a 126 I am working on now.

I will take a few pictures and send them tonight or tomorrow and make comments

 

[MikeDiettrich]

I have pictures but I must be technically challenged to get them loaded. It is very clean for the age (no rust) and would be easy to work on. The mower deck is attached and a hood nearby that I think belongs. I can send pictures if you contact me by cell. My phone/text is 248-417-2604. Plenty of parts loose decks, blades and snowblower attachments if interested. The farm if you want to see is only a few miles off US 23 (exit#6), I will be there tomorrow.

Exit 6 in Ohio

By chance, do you have a headlight unit for the 129?

 

[MikeDiettrich]

After a lot of help from wife I was able to get pictures. I believe the hood with the lights goes to the 129, I also sent pictures of blades blowers and mower decks. There are lots of spare parts.

Bummer. That's the only thing I need. Thanks anyway.

Hello Dale,
I was hoping someone might be close. I could use some advice on how to find homes for these tractors. I would be happy to invite you up for a day to see them all. As you can see all parked in on each other. Hard to get great pictures.

I live 20 mins from you as well!

I would think the blue stripe hood would be for a 149. Aren't 129 red stripe?

 

[hail129hydro]

My 129 has a red stripe. Appears they didn't change the hood style much.

The different horsepower models in the wide frames have a different color stripe.

The 86 has a gold-ish stripe,
The 108/9 has a green stripe.
128/9 has a red stripe
149/169 has a blue stripe

I think this is correct for the lower HP models… the 1x8/9 is the only series they used this system… the earlier and later all have the same decals across the board, except for the model number. One other exception I can think is the decal for the model number on the 123 had what looked like a crown across the top of the numbers, which is where is said hydrostatic, All the hydros had some indication it is a hydro on the decals, except in the 82 series.
