IH Manure Spreader

I am in the process of restoring an old IH Manure Spreader. Not sure of the age but it was horse drawn and never modified. I need information regarding color schemes and IH lettering on the sideboards (if any).

I also have a hay (cycle) mower of the same vintage that I will tackle next. I am assuming that the color scheme will be the same for both units? Both units are totally complete with single trees and all.

Any information that can be provided or potential resources would be much appreciated.
 
If you look harder you will probably be able to see some paint scraps. Check behind the bolt heads and on the wood behind metal etc. That would be a good start.
You could also search the WI Historical Society for the photos or the 150 years of International Harvester book.
BUT, it is your spreader and you can really paint it any way you like.
 
The links below are 1) to the paint committee memo for the 100-H spreader and 2) to the main page for paint committee decisions on other spreaders, some earlier, some later.
100 H

I have read all the replys and they have good ideas, but all the people that did the painting are not with us God rest there souls, I have restored a Model 100 it is now painted all red looks correct, and a Model 200H that is a horse drawn also painted all red, my Dad had a model 200 tractor model it came all red so thats what I followed. I have seem some people paint them with white wheels and they look like circus wagons but its your choice good luck.
 
Scotty -

Thanks for the info. I got a reference to go to the WI Historical Society and review the pics that they have. I wasn"t able to find one like mine and therefor haven"t been able to identify the exact model.

Would you be willing to send your email address so that I could send some pics. The pics I saw only confused me. While the implements (manure spreader and hay mower both have IH signatures in the major castings, they were painted green (frame and sideboard - you can see yellow on the wheels and some of the thrower mechanism). You will be able see in the pics.

Right now, I am not sure what I have??

Thanks again for you help.

Thanks for info. I went online to the WI Historical Society and found a of number of pics. However, I wasn't able to find one just like mine. My guess is that it is somewhere in the mid-20's. However, I came away somewhat confused as to what I have. Although it has the IH signature in the major castings, the color on my units (manure spreader and hay mower) was definitely green (frame and sideboards with yellow on wheels and some of the spreader mechanism).

Would you be willing to send me your email address so that I could send you some pics of what I have. Maybe you could help me identify it better.

Again, I appreciate the input.

I don't think so. I have done some further
research and right now I am thinking it is a 1917
or 18 IH Low Cloverleaf. I have found some color
pics and it appears to be correct: Correct
seat/has endless apron/looks like correct colors
for wheels, box and frame.

The mower is an IH 'New Big 4' and is probably a
1910 or 11. Mine has the wooden shaft for the
lifter control lever arm and later ones had metal.

I will keep looking for feedback - but I think I
am a lot closer than a few days ago due to all of
your feedback and help. thanks
