Score!

Look what followed me home. Haven't said that in a while. No bells or whistles. Runs fine. I'll get some more pics after a few weeks. Not bad for $100.

Yeah, that's for sure. The highway near me is closed for some bridge work. I have to take an alternate route to work. I found this on a back road I don't travel much.

It was clearly meant to be! Congratulations.

scored this pair of slotted 12” weights today, for $40. i’m confident they’re north of 50 lbs each, too.
with wheel weights already inside and outside my 100’s rears, i think i’ll fab a way to hang these by the slots on my 3-point hitch or drawbar.
any suggestions? much appreciated!
it’s a good day in iH Cub-land !!!

(NOT MY AD). ** someone near KC is selling an attractive iH 102 Cub, reasonably well-optioned too, at an attractive price. Heads up! **

Keep them as close to the differential as possible

tempting, but they’re asking $800 ()

i had 1.5 extra sets of tire chains and a few other little-used lengths of chain laying around, and had an idea: boxed ‘em up in a surplus ammo can, and now i have a cool modular weight box [≈30+lbs] i can add to the “back porch” during snow-blading season.
not a bad patina, eh?

Who knew that IHCC was so far ahead of their time thinking to install anti-rail slide devices on all of our cool-assed hoods!

$800!? Yikes! The ~actual~ IH flag that flew over the Scout factory in Illinois only went for $500, and it languished on eBay for about 5 years at that price.

Who knew that Skate Boaders liked sliding off the front of tractors.

Holy $#1+, that thing is BEAUTIFUL! If it weren't 2/3rds of the way across the country I'd be body checking old ladies out of the way to buy that!

Well, if you're old skool, you remember the thing about skating on car roofs. Yes, it was a thing, no, I never understood it.
Grinding rails across the fronts of tractors is just one-uppsmanship in the skateboarding world, and IH thoughtfully put deterrents in place for us. Let them grind up the green ones.

Unless it is a three digit serial number it's not worth anywhere close to that price.
