Is this worth anything?

[Rob Holmes]

We have an old McCormick International Harvesters S6-1 grain drill in the back of our shed,

In full working order (apart from one wheel has a puncture), we used to use it for drilling grass seeds,

Stored inside all it's life,

Is it worth owt?

 

[multi power]

that would look good behind a inter of similar age for working days

 

[Rob Holmes]

Thats what i thought

 

[multi power]

just a shame its the wrong colour of red

 

[Blue.]

Advertise it in the back of classic tractor,someone will want it.

Think fergie drills only have a decent value because of the wheels.

 

[Rob Holmes]

I was thinking of putting on here via ebay but have no idea of it's value

 

[Selectamatic]

It's worth next to nothing as scrap, quite light.

Some IH fan will want it, dont scrap it!!

Advertise it here, stick it on ebay or in Classic Tractor...

Dad had one years ago, or a simmilar one, said it was a good drill in its time, a little gearbox on it for changine seed rate?

Spray it with oil,its a bit more photogenic then,stick it on fleabay 100 on a bad day,closer to 300 on a good day

I've got a very old Massey-Harris, 1954 I think, grain and fertiliser drill on iron wheels in my barn. I used to use it but it only held 3 cwt (150kg) of seed.

I wonder what it is worth?

I don't know what yours is worth Rob, sorry!

 

[Peter Raugland]

Thats a McCormick IH s-62 or something seed and grass drill. Its made in Nordkjoping in Sweden, I have one my self, but I lost the seed-table.


Edit. I see yours the S6-1, your gearbox is beside the toplink?

Im saving mine to go with a nice old mccormick tractor one day!

We used to drill maize with ours just close some slides and put something heavy on some coulters . My job as a small child was to ride in the back and make sure the seed was going down.

[Cooper3075]

How much? i have a b275 it would look at home behind.

 

[Rob Holmes]

No idea, that's the reason why i posted so i could put it on ebay, how much will you give me?

 

[Cooper3075]

Put it on ill have a bid no idea really what it's worth just would suit my tractor and if it works I have some grass seeding to do now and then lol

 

[Cooper3075]

If you buy it there is one golden rule with this drill
DO NOT GO BACKWARDS
We had one hired out when I was a boy and when the drill came home it was a wreck. The guy had forgotten and reversed.
I remember it cost more to repair than Father had paid for it!
It was a lovely little drill, I drilled hundreds of acres of grass with it. Behind a little David Brown 770, but we finally sold it and replaced it with a Nordstein which I think may have came out of the same factory
