IH carts
 

I can't believe I never saw it. Over at my neighbors junk pile there is a IH dump cart. It still has the IH logo on the front of it, but has an area that is rusted thru the bottom left front corner of it. He is an older fellow and kind of particular about things, so I didn't touch it. Its laying sorta upside down with other things around it so dont know much more than that. It's small, 26"x32", maybe 10" tires on it that are shot, its painted white and looks like factory paint. I can see the dump lever. No one has lived there for 12 yrs or so. I called him tonight and left him a message. On the chance he may want some $ for it, any ideas what something like that may go for. I have seen some pics on here of other dump carts, can anyone hook me up with links to pics, or where to look on it for a model or ID #. Maybe someone can ID from pics?

It's a #2 cart Kevin.

If it were me,I would describe what kind of shape its in,don't get excited when talking to him and ask if he would part with it and ask what he was thinking for a price. As for what its worth,its worth how much ever you want to give. It is in pretty rough shape. I'd prob go $20 or $30 since its in such rough shape,but thats my opinion.

I would love to have a nice IH cart, but, they are rare around where I live.

That much work would make me colorblind, which is exactly why I was happy with this one from CL.

I would keep looking, you are in PA, the heart of Cub Cadet country!! :beerchug:

You could do some serious restoration to a tractor with what effort that cart needs.

:bigthink:

Kevin, here's a pic of my #2 cart.

I would agree that cart has seen much better days. I just told the wife I need to go get the one at my neighbors its a #1 and is in a little better shape. I would agree that this needs a bunch of repair work. the sheet metal in the bottom is all gone and that will take some time to bring back to near original. It can be done I have seen a lot of work put into items if you wan it bad enough. I think this would be under $50, my 2 cents. Get it bring it home and look it over.

ih trailer
 

I have 2 #2 trailers like the one in the picture both are repainted, its worth whatever you want to pay.

Wow, I had no idea these things were worth that kind of money. I was thinking like $5 or $10, scrap metal price if that much. I'm not sure if the tail gate is there, may be in with the rest of the junk, will have to look. I'm going to keep my eyes open now. There are lots of cubs and cub stuff in this area.

keep in mine , you'll have more $$$ in it then its worth. 60 in tires, bearings/valve stems, sheet metal isnt cheap any more. good thing there is 2 to 4 stop signs at every intersection :biggrin2:

but if its worth saving to you, get it.

I agree, I think $10.00 is a fair price, if the tail gate is there.

It would take a ton of work to bring it back to factory condition, but if you want it just for a worker, weld some steel in the bottom, paint it with that bumpy bedliner paint, and go to work.
