International Harvester Fuel Stick

Steve Kuz · Aug 13, 2011

I have a very old International Harvester Fuel stick made of wood. Has black notches down it and says international harvester with the old 1920's logo. I have not had any luck finding them on internet. Are they rare, anyone else have one of these? Any info would be great. Thanks

Can you post a picture of it? I have never seen one before. Would love to buy it if you ever decide to sell................

I will try to get some pictures up soon. Some more info on it though, Its say International Harvester of Amercica down the front, the reverse side has numbers 1 -25. Top is thicker tapering towards the bottom

Is'nt it an old yard stick, but very neat. Wish I had one or three for my brothers.

The old guy i got it from said he used it as fuel measureing stick but as i have researched more, it seems to be an old yard stick

You could use it for a lot of things, but in the end it is still a yard stick. :lol: Someday when I have A LOT of time I will fill my SMTA or MD and my H up gallon by gallon. Then I can have a "calibrated" fuel stick.

I hate to point out the obvious, but does anybody know of a tractor with a three foot deep tank that you'd use it on???

: )

If it were for measuring gas in a tractor, it would make more sense if it was half that length.

Maybe for a 55 gallon drum? And if that's the case, it's less "tractory" and probably less valuable to collectors. But still worth something I'm sure. Don't throw it away.

WD-9, 600, and 650 get about the closest and they are still a ways off. I just bought a WD-9 and that tank is MASSIVE!
