Well here is the IB that I had posted about the other day. The guy had it listed as a B for $350. As I mentioned in the other post, I informed him that he was actually giving it away at that price. Once we met in person, I found out his house was in foreclosure, he had been unemployed for months, and he and his wife had recently split. Let's just say I paid him more than his asking price, but it was exactly what I wanted to pay for the tractor and not a penny more. We were both very happy with the deal. Here are some pics.
  It is serial # IB 2223. It is complete. The snow plow is a hack-job ad on that is not of much use in Tennessee. I plan to lose that. He said the tractor was locked up, but once I found the original crank near-by it spun right over and the impulse snapped. Shouldn't take much to have her running again. This will be a total restoration, that I will probably keep for several years.

| Ryan, great find! I didn't get a chance to comment yesterday, but like so many others said, the honesty you showed the seller is to be commended. Especially given the details you just shared. |

| Good, no pintle hitch on it, but I have a buddy that has some NOS ones...Think he'll want to trade a hitch for a snow plow??? He lives in PA and recently bought three tractors. Lots of snow over there, it could be useful! LOL |

You Did good Ryan, both on the tractor and the deal. Is it painted white or just really faded orange?
