Schramm Pneumatractor (ca.50s/60s?)

In my family for at least 40 years is a Schramm, what I believe you would call a pneumatractor. While it needs work to restore it, I would like to sell it to someone who will appreciate it.

I cannot find any identifying information other than the serial #1BH 27206. This is on a plate that reads ""Made in [U.S.A.] by International Harvester Co., Chicago, Illinois. This plate is located on the gear box/transmission (?) under the seat.

(Apparently I've not been successful at posting photos, otherwise I would. I successfully browsed and selected 3 photos, but they did not post when I submitted this. Any help on that, too, would be appreciated!)

Can anyone provide any information at all on this tractor? Such as model number? Year of manufacture? Copies of manuals? Any club or organization I might be able to contact, or other method I might use, to try to find a buyer? Any idea as to value range, or how I might be able to determine that?

Any information at all would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you, Gary
 
Gary: more than likely, your serial prefix is "ibh", not "1BH"--letter "i", not numeral "1". If so, this would be an I4, which was the Industrial version of the W-4 "standard" style tractor, with the same basic powertrain as the IH/Farmall H "row-crop" tractor. Yours was made in about 1950. Depending on where you're located, there's plenty of clubs and such who might have interested members--in Lewis County, there's the Flywheels & Pulleys show every Fall that usually has a good representation of IH people--it's in Constableville.
 
The machine you are talking is not a International but a Schramn self propeled air compressor with an International rear end
 
Gary, My email is open, I would like to see a pic or two, we (IH Chapt. 17) are having an IH Showdown at Bloomsburg, Pa. next week (June 12-14), maybe if I show a pic around, might find some interest, I'll also try to post a pic on here for you.
Thanks, Adrian
 
Thanks for your response, Tim. Understood re the serial number. In the meantime I had emailed Schramm, Inc., and received a nice reply from a fellow there who said he thought the serial number I gave him was just the IH transmission. He told me to look above the oil pump, and sent a photo as an example. For the life of me I cannot find the plate anywhere on the block. So, your response might solve that. On the other hand, I received a response from another who said that the number was for the IH tranny. So, I remain confused.
 
Thanks for your response, Bill. As you will note from my post just before this one, what you wrote is consistent with what a Schramm, Inc. fellow wrote to me. But, I still cannot find any serial number on the block. ???
 
Thanks for your response, Adrian. If you'll give me until tomorrow, I'll send along some photos. Please also note in my posts just before this one the difficulty I'm having with the serial number.

(By the way, I went to Bucknell, so I know Bloomsburg!)
 
By the way, this is what the fellow at Schramm, Inc. wrote: "The tractors serial number is a six digit number hand stamped just a few inches above the oil pump. See the attached photo for an example. Your tractors serial number would be 11????. If you can locate that number and get back to me I might be able to tell you the year it was made."

He also wrote "Yes, that plate identifies the s/n of only the transmission. It would be meaningful to International Harvester, but we never kept records of it."

But, I remain stumped as to finding another number anywhere. And intrigued by Tim's response in which he seems to have honed in on the year of the machine using the number I provided.
 
Gary: I can't speak to the Schramm unit itself--I'm not familiar with them. I was simply using the information you provided to cross-reference with known IH years of manufacture and it may or may not be relevant to a tractor that's only partially made by IH. In the link below, there is information on the I-4, which may provide you with some more useful info--I used it to guesstimate the year of your tractor. You may be able to post pictures now--the moderators block new posters from posting pictures to thwart spammers and such, but usually once you've posted a few times that will go away.
I 4 info
 
Gotcha, Tim. Thanks for the clarification. Makes sense to me. And, with this post I'll try again to post photos. Thank you for your help, I appreciate your kindness.
 
Apparently, I'm not yet able to post photos. Or there's operator error involved. When I select the photos to post, I just hit the "submit" button that's under the written response section. There doesn't seem to be a separate button under the post photos section?
 
Here is a picture of a Schramm tractor/compressor.

Thanks for posting that photo. Mine is apparently a fair amount older, given its "funky" look compared to the more traditional tractor style of the one you posted. However, I still seem to be unable to post photos. I signed up only yesterday, so I may need to wait another day or two.
 
Morning, Adrian. I'm starting to feel a bit like an idiot. I still can't seem to post photos. When I look at your profile the listing for your email is blank. (I presume this is where you meant to look when you said your email is open.) And, I can't find an option to use SafeMail. ???
 
Gary,

Left side of block above the oil pump is a machined surface
that will have the serial number stamped in it. Right side
behind carb should be a coupled of brass tags, will have serial
number on that also. I have manuals and parts available.
