International Harvester tools

[hahn80h]

I am looking for someone to tell me what some of my IH tools are worth, I have a 3/4 in. socket set, with 2 extensions and 18 sockets, and original case. one of the sockets are a mack. (1 1/4) The wratchet is 24 in. long, with a 16 and 8 in extension. I also have some metric and standard wrenches and other IH tools. They were my Grandpas and he got them back around 1978 when he was working at a IH dealer.

Got any pics of the items so we can give you a better idea on what they are worth.

 

[wrenchguy]

a lot.

Seems t be in good shape should be able to get good money out of those. If you can find the IH collector crowd. If I didnt allready have a 3/4 set I would make you an offer on it I like the old stuff like that. You may get an offer on it here just leave it on here someone will get with you.

 

[hahn80h]

What would you say is a bottom dollar price that I should not go below?

 

[thesilverone]

I'd save them. They were your Grandpas.

 

[hahn80h]

I mentioned that wrong, They still are his, It was his idea to sell. He stopped up to the shop the other day and someone there got this idea in his head to go ahead and sell them now.

Holy ****


If I had those you would have to pry them from my cold dead fingers


From eBay, a listing that sold

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Wrenches-International-Harvester-IH-lot-clean-/252246612885?hash=item3abb11db95%3Ag%3AiXAAAOSwKtlWk%7EdW&nma=true&si=Y3YRS0IXOfdGknxsWUezyR8nX0k%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557

Best bet for pricing is check sold listings on eBay

ebay is best, ih chrome tool guys hang there, urs are some of the more common chrome ones though. good luck

 

[davethorik]

As far as I know, those are Wright tools stamped IH. I have one IH socket, a 3/8 drive 7/8 12 pt deep.

 

[hahn80h]

We have some other random sockets and some wrench's, standard and metric.

 

[fl18guy]

sell all of the random items and keep the completed 3/4 set. You would be surprised at what they would bring. IH collectors are nuts, they will spend big bucks. I sold a few in my time.

 

[SCscoutguy]

I have seen those 3/4" sets go from $500-$800 over the years. With all of the other tools you could maybe get a grand out of them if someone gets in a bidding war.

 

[zcbauer89]

$1,000 to the right person. Excellent tools made by Wright. I remember seeing the tool displays back in the day. If I would have only known then what I know now.

 

[Roberts210]

I'd love to have them, but will probably resist the temptation.

True...look at what they did to the IH Garand market...LOL. I can say that because I'm one of them... (Although I don't have an IH Garand )

I'd love to have them, but will probably resist the temptation.

Same here, I'd love to have them, but then I'd have a set of tools I wouldn't/couldn't use...i'll just have to deal with 3/4" SnapOn's...

Don't be spreading rumours,,IH collectors are all dirt poor and generally wait patiently to collect donations of IH equipment to support our hobby. Those socket sets selling for more than I paid for any of my IH trucks is reprehensible.

 

[wrenchguy]

hahn, does grandpa have any of these? harder ih chrome tools 2 find. i need the 8" & 12" to complete my ih adjustable collection. these are the only ih chromes i have left.

 

[hahn80h]

No he does not have any of those. sorry

You can try matching them up with some Wright brand tools and figure out how much new tools would cost less the brand name. Case IH has new tools but they are not the same. You might try comparing the new Case IH tools also. Then try the second hand market like eBay, CL, and other places to find how much people are willing to pay for used IH tools.

Sam the Ebay 3/4 set above was mine. $$$$ More money for the slush fund

 

[gdocktor3]

Unless you have a better set of 3/4" drive stuff, you should keep them. Even if you never use them, that day may come when you do need them and instead you have to go buy them. Those tools are probably better made then most USA stuff today. Not to mention they aren't that common and it will forever remind you of gramps. I'm sure he'd let you keep them if you asked. And who knows, it ten years they may be antiques worth thousands. Good luck either way!

Another good place to offer them up is on the Binder Planet forum.

IH stuff is my weakness...

IH stuff is my weakness...

Tell me about it.

 

[hahn80h]

Farmall450 where do you think would be a good place for me to list these for sale that would be seen by alot of IH collectors?

 

[Scout Driver]

Agreed that Binder Planet would be a good place to offer them. Here is another site that may be good: http://www.redpowermagazine.com/forums/

Nice!

I almost hope I don't come across any. Due to the fact that I will have the dilemma of keeping them for the collection, or selling them to buy tools I will actually use.... Ahhh first world problems.

Thinking about selling my IH combo wrench set, 3/8 thru 1-1/4, bought them when I was working parts at an IH dealer, the last set to come out of the old West Chicago parts depot. I have used a couple of them in a pinch but other than that they have never been out of the pouch or toolbox drawer. Any ideas on a value? I can get photos if needed.

 

[sk farmer]

send scout driver a pm, the guy who posted above. if he doesn't respond in a timely fashion, i have his number.

Yes we are

best way is ebay, it'll set the honest price because ih chrome collectors are serious about watching what comes on. imo thats a common set but still reel good seller. bag condition is most important. mine brought $675 at big "d" sale 6-06. in total i sold 800 ih tools.

 

[jackhandle 1]

hi new member i too have a set im looking to sell had them many years time to cut back its the blue box socket set 17 sockets 2 ext 1 ratchet i breaker bar very good cond dont know what there worth thanks

 

[2oolhound]

Thought I'd revive this thread to post some new IH tools I spotted in Princess Auto (Canada's HF store). These are made in Taiwan and prices are in CND. What got my attention is these 2 sets came in metal boxes with the pressed lettering on the lid.

Those SAE shallow are $59.00 cnd and these metric deeps are $79.99 cnd.

 

[BajaScout]

Wonder if they are in the U.S. too? Maybe Tractor Supply.

Wonder if it’s re-branded New Holland stuff. IH doesn’t exist on its own anymore, so seems more like a gimmick. I should take a look at what our CaseIH dealer is selling these days. They have a hardware store so they used to have a good selection of various brands. The New Holland dealer only sold New Holland tools last I checked.

For those that don’t know NH and CASEIH sell identical tractors, only difference is the paint and stickers. We like red tractors so we bought a CaseIH

I think the IH tools sold at Princess Auto are brought in by Braber Equipment, a local importer. I have seen IH air grease guns at KMS tools. Braber has quite a few IH branded tools.

Even though International Harvester went out of businees in the 80's on the farm side, there is still truck shows around here featuring IH vehicles like Scouts and pickups. Lots of the latest red Case IH equipment on farms.

The bigger Case IH tractors along with the combines have different features than their New Holland counterparts.. A Case IH 530 quad track from a local farm

 

[outofbounds]

I thought this asking price a bit preposterous, but if the tools are worth as much as claimed in this thread, maybe I ought to sit down, and be quiet......(and keep a sharper eye out in barn sales)
