Hi, All. just wanted to mention i passed on the trade deal after hearing the extreme scarcity of diesel specific parts and how some guys have well over 15k into the engs alone. Just way too much for me currently being mostly fixed income. thanks all for the helpful replies among my urge thinking i absolutely needed it too then seeing "it's too much work" lol.

Not this year. Bc i have 2 on-going long time NOS restorations, but more than likely probably next season i may.

It won't be a high priority item until next winter probably. i have to finish up 2 on-going restorations right now. Believe it or not but the B/BN tractors in my area are almost non-existent and i can barely find parts anyhow. I may just roll the dice on it.

Dang. The only issue with the BN is that i rarely ever get to shows and it has no use on the farm, besides towing/pulling. I'd been trying to find a buzz rig for mine but no luck everyone i come across is too far gone or 3pt mounted. Pretty much all the sheet metal on the bn is shot.

HI. I am talking to a guy on Facebook who has a wd6. He wants to trade for my Farmall BN. He bought it and it was left outside when he got it without a muffler on it, the engine is sized. I am aware of the rarity and how hard fuel system parts are to come by as well as the cyl heads cracking. Is there anyone out there who is the GURU on these? where to get parts, rebuild kits, pistons, sleeves, correct wiring harness, etc? Shops that DEAL with the injectors and pumps...??? What is the unicorn to find, impossible, unobtainable parts? etc??? It was converted to 12v but i would like it back to 6v. So i can swap batteries with my other farmalls. I can add photo's if needed. with permission. What all do i need to know about these, what should i be careful with, If i can get it unstuck and running it will be used full time on our family blueberry orchard farm. almost 60 acres. A good workout for an old tractor. it would go along well with my Farmall cub which i use to maintain our blueberry isles.

If you ever need parts, contact Gordy at 218-574-2501

The Chrysler H105s are pretty tough to get parts for, I had one and rebuild kits are not even available. I was able to track down a kit in the UK as the eng is the same as used in a Small '70s ford compact car only made for the UK Market but was over $2800. Your best bet is to call my friend Gordy. He'd have it all. Former Hydra-mac Dealer. Gordy Shop number 218-574-2501

Thanks, I completely forgot about that. 🤦‍♂️

Honey Bee, Or The Johns company made Reversed B/BNs and put forklifts on them! They are somewhat common here in Michigan. Depending on your area, Here in Southwest quite a few of them around. Usually they sell between $5,500 - 9,000. Used in Vineyards & Orchards a lot!!! for being about 80 year old machines they'll keep on goin! Our Local blueberry company (Reindeers) has a Whole fleet of them how many? 10+ I'd say. Very neat and handy looking.

I come across some fairly rare and oddball/uncommon stuff on craigslist. where can i post it in-case someone is looking?

awesome! I'll have to find some of these to buy!

They sure are neat looking, Getting to be very collectable and valuable. Some of the Rarer Hydra-Mac / IH Made skid steers are going upwards of 20k!

@Alan Dinan Yes. These where made by Hydra-mac for IH... They where partnered. 4120, 4125, 4130, 4135, 4136, 4140, 4150, 4155 all Hydra mac made for IH. 4150-4155 Are the holy grails. But so is the 4136, 1 year only made. I have all the factory brochures. Took me a few years to find them.

I've got a BN but i am in Michigan.

Noted. There is still John @ GeardriveParts.com & Doug @ Pocahontas Equipment. Both still have parts, manuals, Diagrams etc.

I almost got the chance to buy one... but the guy never got back to me! grrr!!! So yes the only Chrysler 4cyl i know of is that God awful H105. American Eng, Licensed for England's Small cars during the 70s & Early 80s. The one i looked at the eng needed a Rebuild... Whilst searching on Craigslist i come across another guy in WIS who had a 4140 & could only find 1 Engine shop here in the U.S who could get Rebuild kits ($2800) Otherwise you have to find a Kit in England. Which was over $3000.

Now this is cool! Rarely see any 340s or 240s for the fact of that!

Cool little unit! i've been eyeing a IH 454... Tractor that is! just love the look.

New shoes looks nice! I need too get 1 new tire on my '46 BN.

Looks like steady progress!

IF anyone is interested / Has Facebook here is my group. https://www.facebook.com/groups/HydraMac/ At the current moment this is our 2 main Used/NOS Parts suppliers. Gear Drive parts Mon-Fri 8-5 P.M John 218-684-5901 Or & Former dealer owner Gordy at 218-574-2501.

One of the 2nd built by HMI. Between 1973 & 1975 possibly 1976.

Very nice. Wish i could find a 460/560 around my area! getting slim!

Looks like a Beauty! It sucks that these are so under appreciated. At least i think so. Seems most where plagued by Eng problems. As long it's a Gas should be relatively easy as i would think.
