Mud Scraper

I"ve been collecting a box of mud scrapers, I have two like in the first picture (a picture of a board member"s tractor) and 1 scraper like in the second picture.

I am going to wire brush and prime/paint them this weekend.

the guy who sold me the last one said the first style is an IH scraper and the second was an aftermarket scraper. From what I have gathered on this board, IH never made a scraper and they were all aftermarket.

Does anyone have an information on the second scraper? It doesn"t look very durable for heavy mud, looks like it is made to work on a few different tractors and the forks are almost bendable to adjust the fit.

The following is the info I have been able to gather so far. The first info is an email reply from a gentleman I had emailed wondering if Farmall ever made mud scrapers for the Regular tractor. [He has a website "haroldstractor" and he says on his site that mud scrapers were available for the Regulars after 1926.]

In Harold's email reply, he said, "The original Farmall Tractor (a.k.a. the Regular) Operators Manual from 1928 has no mention of a mud scraper part. However, the Parts Catalog (TC-6-C, undated, but prior to 1934) for the Farmall Tractor shows a Mud Scraper on page 228 and a parts listing on page 231. The parts listing shows part numbers 15514D and 15519D for the mud scraper hood and double ended mud scraper respectively. These may well have been special order only, since I have never seen a mud scraper on this tractor in any of the various books or archive photos."

And another YT guy (36F30) said his F30 parts book also shows a mud scraper "15514 D mud scraper hood complete".

So it is sounding like Farmall must have made them, since they are listed in their parts books - unless they just bought them from a different manuafacturer as an add-on option. Would love to know for CERTAIN - because if Farmall actually produced them, my husband would like to find a nice rusty looking one for our Regular.
