Denny Frisk knows more about the Elwood than I do. He worked in the IH assembly plant where they were installed on tractors built after my 660. I think that you will find some of his posts, as well as mine, by typing in Elwood in the search box. I believe the earlist Elwoods were manufactured in the early fifties. Probably about the same time that Harrington started puting fwd under Ford Trucks. There was probably an appreciation and demand for these vehicles when the GIs came home from the war. Surplus axels became available at that time as well. The axel on my Elwood looks like a unit that might have fit a Dodge M-38 or deuce-and-a-half. The transmission for the fwd attaches to the belt pulley opening on the rear frame lid. It is driven by the pulley gear located on the main shaft. It will operate in all five gears (10 with TA). It can be selected to operate or not operate with a sliding gear. It will fit any "M" through 660. I believe the first units were sold to IH dealers or direct to farmers. Later units were sold to the factory. My tractor was bought at auction for $2800 about five years ago. Even though it ran well and had good paint, the bidding was not very spirited. Several used equipment dealers were in attendance and bidder numbers were probably in excess of 400. It was used in a hilly apple orchard 10 miles west of Rutland VT. It pulled a spray rig and had a homemade cab which I have taken off and replaced with the big curved fenders that fit that model. I know of several others. I have seen pictures of probably 10 more. I would guess that there are probably several hundred still about. The tractor is unusual but not rare enough to expect a large premium at resale. I took it to one tractor show and it didn't draw much interest.
