Sorry dear, they followed me home.

Sunday the parts F20 and the IH refrigerator followed me home through a little horsetrading. After fixing the latch and a new end on the cord, the fridge runs cold. Bad thing the shelves are missing, but it works. The wife just shook her head.

foot brakes and hard rubber steering wheel so must be a 38 or 39

BIGR · Mar 8, 2011

It has a hand brake on the left side, PTO extension, distillate manifold with the linkage, shutter controls (no shutter), and a Monroe seat with the shock. I took the seat off for my '39. Also has an umbrella bracket and a front wheel scraper.

There is no sense taking the cans out of the case anyhow. :lol:

Great find on the refrigerators. I have been watching for one close by for my tractor shed to keep water, pop and some snacks in but haven't located one close around here. My grandparents had about everything IHC made in their house when I was a kid so remember the frig and freezer quite well. Ate a lot of ring bolona sandwiches for lunch and had pickled herring and a sip or two of grandpa's Stag beer or some cold watermelon if we didn't have one down by the creek when we came in from the fields. Those memories are priceless, Hal.

My parents had a Hotpoint fridge that they bought new when they got married in '50. It gave up the ghost around '01 when my Dad couldn't find parts for it. Last time we bought a fridge, the salesman said the lifespan of any appliance now days is 7-10 years, don't fix, replace.

Folks bought an IH freezer in about '48 and had it until shortly before Mom left the farm in the mid-'90s. It finally gave up the ghost and Mom had it put in the barn to store feed. It may still be there along with a [u:59040963d5]really nice[/u:59040963d5] IH 2 row planter she left there.

A nice IH emblem painted on the refrigerator door would look nice!

Farmallhal · Mar 8, 2011

You are exactly right. My uncle acquired the appliances along with the house when Grandpa and grandma passed and they worked up until they decided to remodel the old farm house which was built around 1920 shortly after my mother was born. They probably did the remodel in the late 1980's but that frig and freezer still worked. Don't know if they have replaced their newer ones yet but certainly probably have, Hal.

Missing shelves are not a problem. Just Google "kegerator"

The F-20 definitely looks too good to part out. Our old 1953 IH refrigerator is still running strong for an office refrigerator, so I think some IH refrigerators will probably run forever.

Peek on the back of the IH fridge and maybe there is a date of manufacture and model number. It was a rainy day about three years ago and I finally stopped to look at a refrigerator that had sat curbside for a couple months. Seeing it was an IH, I opened the van door and slide it in, muddy bottom and all. Yup, she runs just fine, a 1952 model. Keeps my Empire apples and many gallons of cider cool and unfrozen in the winter. In the warmer months, Coca~Cola in the little bottles along with some fermented water w/barley and hops. That sure is a clean and shiney unit...ya done did good!

Restoring my first tarctor, 1950 H. Told my wife and boys that Mom"s first refrigerator was an IH, (yours looks just like it) (had an ice box before) and she waited for it to die to get a bigger one. It never would, she waited and waited, finally had to give it away.

Sorry dear, they followed me home.
