Yes, IH high crops are more expensive than the regular versions, in some
cases (bigger tractors) quite a bit more. The problem with IH is that on the
post 1963 tractors, build numbers for the high crops are not known.

Subject: [AT] Value of IH 656 High Crops??

Hi All & almost Merry Christmas!

I've always been aware that the JD Hi Crops are collectable & some seem to
fetch prices taller than the machine itself!  But do IH Hi crops follow
suit?

I recently consulted for an auctioneer who has been contracted to sell off
the abandoned property of a local truck farmer - amongst the junk are a
couple of 656D HC Hydrostatic Hi Crops, single front, cast iron hubs with
spinout rims, 3 pts - not running, one on blocks w/ the rears off, tin
straight, surface rust in places - really 'pig in a poke'....

... so naturally it doesn't take much time for the thought of restoration to
make it to the front of my thoughts... I have a buddy whose just cleared 30
years of scrap from his place & has both a shop & room available now... and
if the value potentially is high enough I might be able to survive the
wife's wrath in taking on yet another project (at least it wouldn't be in
her view!)

... farmer, I wish I were back in KY... I'd spring the 6.6k for your 4020;
even the wife agrees on that!

Best
