Need info / help on Farmall 240

Here is what it is missing:

The hood extensions on both sides (sheet metal that extends under the hood from the grill back to the fuel tank). Don't know if this is available or not, but I think a very close facsimile could be fabricated easily (no curves).

Top link and top link bracket.

Battery box.

Steering wheel is OK, but I would like to replace it.

I know there were just over 4000 240 farmalls made, but many parts interchange with 230s and 240 IHs. I don't like the styling too much, but it is a very straight machine and would be very useful even though it is a tricycle.

Here is what I think is the good part assuming it starts and runs OK...Asking price is $1250. What do you think??

I like my 240 utility but it doesn't have a lot of guts when bushhogging up hillsides.

The 3 point was either original or someone went to great pains to convert the 2 point because it wasn't 2 point arms at all. The arms were 1 piece steel all the way to the balls and there was a sway limiting system. I'm familiar with the 2 point system and it wasn't one of those. I had heard that 3 point was an option on the larger tractors of the same time.

Assuming it starts and runs well, I think the biggest problem will be the side hoods. I had heard they were hard to find and with such low production, I can se why.

Can these be fabricated with any degree of success from flat 1/8 or 3/16 sheet metal???
