I paid $102 for the one I got off Ebay. It looks like that except it has rusty silver paint. It was missing a bolt/pin and spring for the drive mechanism that moves the apron chain. It's also missing the chain that drives the rear set of beaters and the rear beater has 1 of the seven blades missing/broken. The wood floor is still solid and the 12 ply tires are good. I figure a coat of paint, $45 worth of hardware (chain, bolt, and a spring) it'll be field ready. I don't think one "blade" missing will be an issue. I paid $380 for my other spreader, an international #200. It came from Ebay, and it cost me another $45 - $50 for the 2 dozen or so links that I had to replace to fix the apron chain. (I bought it that way.. previous owners let manure freeze in it then tried to empty... ) I intend to sell one or the other when I get the Case unit done. Whichever fits in the shed in the least amount of space is keeper... Where I'm at, the smaller IH 100's will bring $400 and the New Idea's after refurbishment fetch $750 - $1000. I've been at a few auctions where ones with rotten floors still bring $200 or more depending on the crowd. Horse county...
