allis ib

 

They're pretty rare. I suspect you'll need something in excess of $1000 in value to trade.

 

I sold two of them to two people on here. They know who they are, and are currently friends. Now what I have struggled with since, is how to sell any more without the previous buyers getting PO'd at me for selling lower.

 

Friendships are more important than money to me, so I don't try to advertise or anything. I have refused to go the eBay or auction route for the same reason.

 

BTW  these were so few and far between, no one I asked, had seen one sold. So finally one night, after a set of B front steel sold for $1319, I decided to offer a hitch and see if anybody wanted one. I set the asking price equal to what it would cost to "make" a full steel wheel B out of a regular one. I used the average price for Front Steel, Rear Steel, wide fenders, thick hubs, and a tall air cleaner. It was sold in 15 minutes.

 

I suppose if you had those things, and wanted to trade, I would be happy to. Also, would consider a full IB frame with the Allis grill guard as a trade. The only thing is, you would need to get them to me here in Northeast PA. I included delivery at no extra charge when I sold the ones before.

 

Treating people fair is important to me, and I would scrap the ones I have, rather than wreck a friendship over money. I have told numerous people if they can sell them for higher than I got, more power to you, my price will stay the same.

 

I would make an exception on that if a bona fide owner of an M7 snow tractor was restoring one and needed a hitch, as the ones I have are the stock that the US ordered from Allis Chalmers to support the M7 while they were running them.
