H wide front condition and value

Zachary Hoyt · May 13, 2013

I just got this H with a wide front at an auction and am thinking of removing the wide front and selling it and putting a narrow front on the tractor off another H that I got with the intent to part it out. I have never had a wide front before and am not sure what to ask for the whole assembly including wheels. I am guessing somewhere between $200 and $500 but that is just from what I have read on here over the years, The front end is tight and steers well but it looks like the arms have had some welding done on them over the years. Any advice will be much appreciated.

Usually bring around $500 in my area in good condition.

I think there is a factory IH wide front end and a Swartz aftermarket wide front end. I believe one of the brands is generally more desirable than the other due to easier steering and better turn radius (as pertaining to the wide front).

I forget which one is preferred though.

You have the one with the tie rods out front. Not as desireable as the other. Hard to put a value on it, but if it is cobbled up with welds it won't be as desireable. With tires and wheels I would think $300 would get it sold.
