I just posted this to ebay.

Looking for information on what models it will fit and also wondering about the actual rarity and what they have sold for in the past.
Cheers, JR
Pros:
- Absolutely complete as far as I can tell by looking at CC parts schematics.
- All but one small bolt are original IH-stamped (all the important ones, ie. carriage bolts, are indeed stamped).
- Everything spins freely, control arm works smoothly, cylinder is free and actuates smoothly.
- No modifications or hack jobs - ideal candidate for a full restoration.
- I would rate this assembly an easy 8-9 out of 10 for overall appearance.
Cons:
- Cylinder rod has some corrosion, but this can be easily and inexpensively replaced by a reputable hydraulic cylinder repair shop or machine shop as it is a very simple rod. You could also just polish it out and try it as is but I would advise replacing it if you are going to do a seal job on the cylinder.
- I do not have the lift arm assembly that attaches the rod end of the cylinder to the rock shaft / lower lift arm pivot. You will have to fabricate (not rocket science) or find one.
- Hoses were shot, however one was still original, so that says something...
- Drive pulley has a ding that needs to be worked out and a slight wobble that needs correcting, just some simple metal persuasion.
