I met with the seller today and was able to get the #2 cart bought for $50! It is a little rough, has one original tire (looks original, is a Goodyear with an odd ball size 4.30-8) and one wheel barrow tire, both fenders are bent, a few dents here and there, but the best part is it is solid with only surface rust. Here are some pics of it!

Bent fenders, one is bent on the front, the other on the back...should be easy enough to straighten out.

I did not know they had stake pockets, I can already envision some oak bedside extensions!
This one has a tailgate that sets between 2 pieces of angle iron welded to the bed and the tailgate slides out the top, is this factory correct? It also has the remnants of IH decals centered on the front of the front side of the bed and the center of the back side of the tailgate....again, is the correct locations for the decals? Thanks, enjoy the pics!
I did not to let this out until I got it bought, but I was lucky to find it....out of boredom one evening was looking at CL and found an ad that was entitled "lawn wagon, $75.00", to my suprise upon reading the ad and seeing the one pic attached to it, I knew I had stumbled upon an actual IH #2 cart (at least that was what I believed it was), in the pic you could just faintly make out the remnants of the IH decal on the tailgate. When I met with the owner today, I commented on the bent fenders and mismatched tires, he said make an offer, so I said how about $50.00, he immediately said sold...I should have offered less, but was willing to pay the asking price!
