Carb Value
Guys:
What is a good IH 3/4 updraft worth?
I have seen prices tossed around usually in the $195US range. Is this accurate?
Thanks

Rudi I was looking around different parts guys yesterday after the post about a Massey Harris carb and think I remember $175.00 or $125 with a core. Sorry that I don't remember which site but I found it with a search for internation harvester. It is no big deal to rebuild one and the Case kit contains every thing except the float. It even includes felt washers for along the shafts to prevent air leakage. Floats can be repaired with a decent sized soldering iron. Clean the area of interest to all bright and shiney. With small holes flux and then solder will do. For larger holes a piece of thin shim brass can first be tinned, the float tinned and then sweated together. Over the years I must have done a couple of dozen like that on lawn mowers, cars and trucks. My brother Dons fuel injected Corvett had a fuel leak and the Army would not move it to Germany when he was stationed there. I took the low pressure fuel sys apart. It was the same as a carb bowl with float and needle valve. Soldered the float and no more leak.

Kguys:
Guess I worded this post entirely wrong.
I don't need a carb, at least not yet. Got Jethro's carb for Granny. What I want to know is what would it cost me if I was to buy a 3/4" updraft carb.
I heard $190.00US is an amount rumoured to be fair. Is this correct?

I've never switched from one to another on the same tractor, but have driven different cubs with each on them, and can't tell any difference in performance. The Zenith does have a slightly larger throat and air intake. It requires a different or a modified air hose, and I've seen reports of sometimes needing 2 carb to manifold gaskets to get sufficient throttle plate clearance, but don't have that problem with mine..John N wrote:Just wondering, is there much difference between the original IH carb and the new Zeniths, mainly performance?

Thanks John.
NOSIH: What is that NOS carb worth?
I know that they are getting rare even used in poor shape and in desperate need of a rebuild ala Lurker Carl.
So far we have determined that the Zenith, which I really don't want if I can get away with it, is in the 140 to 190 dollar bracket.
Am I assuming correctly that the IH updraft is going to cost more?

Ah heck Rudi, can't take it with you anyhow right? I know [PRICE] X's [?] (in your case) [three] = BIG BUCKS... LOL! It's the cost of having fun and preserving part of the past, all at the same time. What else do we have to spend our money on or for? Save it for the kids to fight over, when we are gone?
In reality now, I have been watching these things sell usually on eBay for $175 to $200 US.
I have been wanting to know about how much my old IH might be worth on the open market. See if it's worth keeping or not. Even though, it could be rebuilt, that faces WERE actually more flat than the one on "Clearance" However, I was lucky and took my time in straightening the one off my tractor back out flat again.
The extra one I have came off a whole engine, but it was sitting outside uncovered for many many years from an old IH stationary type engine. I am keeping the engine just for for the crank and whatever else might be saved. The block and head has met it's faith with water left in it from years back.
Hey if your EVER in a real bind and need one, It may be worth the money for a rebuild kit. Just send me a private message or IM on Yahoo. We're only 1800 miles away, be a nice little road trip, lol!
