I get a little upset when people claim rarity. There is very little IH product that can qualify for this distinction. The very early stuff and the experimental items that did not get demolished do qualify. I have some unusual product but I never felt that I paid a premium for it. The market usually appreciates rarity. I have been to quite a few auctions and have never seen "out of control" biding on anything related to IH. Sometimes the unusual brings peanuts. I still regret not bidding on a I-4 with an elaborate factory built cherry picker that spent all its life indoors on a loading dock. It went for $300 and was driven onto the new owner's trailer. I was more into the ag stuff at that time Rarity is very perishible. I remember that another Stratovarous violin was discovered about 10 years ago. I think that makes less than twenty that have survived. I wouldn't be surprised if the number was actually double that but not yet discovered or identified. There is no question that the hoods on W/I tractors are different from the Farmall line. That relates to the steering shaft. However, I wouldn't be surprised if the grills are the same. I don't have an I-4 or I-6 parts book to check numbers against my H and M books. Getting back to Redrev's comments. I do recall seeing a picture an I-6 with a heavy front aftermarket blade here at YTMag several years ago. It didn't have a cab. There has got to be hundreds of those parked out of sight across the country.

After numerous dead ends for a replacement carb, I went to work fixing mine.I soldered new floats on the float arm, they came from an old motorcycle carb, replaced the packing on the throttle shaft with o-rings, cut new ga
