Dan I will keep on the lookout for one for you. Are you going to use pto or a speed jack?

I grew up back in the 1960's in an area between two really good IH dealers and EVERYBODY used Kewanee elevators. If a nice well kept Kewanee elevator comes up for sale that would do the job I wouldn't let it get away from you.

My Buddy bought a couple Kewanee elevators just to scrap them, he'd disassemble them into their 8 ft long sections and tack weld one section on top of another section to make cattle feed bunks. The Kewanee elevators galvanized steel kept them clean and shiny.

Nothing wrong with a Kewanee. They were the most popular in my area also. They are easy to find around here.

An IH elevator is on my wish list. With IH tractors, IH pickers and IH wagons, it would only make the set even better to have a IH elevator.

Thanks, Dan.

Dan - Good luck on your search for an IH elevator. I have to applaud your desire to recreate your own IH sales brochure photo with ALL IH equipment. Hope you find a good one close to home. They are not the most fun things to tow. I used to have the fun of towing our 48 ft bale elevator from farm to farm for our little baling crew.
