Unmounted, On Skids, or on Trucks

Charles R. Bryant says: Many engines were skidded and trucks were an option I'd say on practically all the engines. Original factory trucks can sell from $90 to $500. If you want one with trucks you can usually get a better deal buying the engine on the trucks. Many sellers put the engine on skids and sell the trucks separately because they can get more money . Some buyers don't want to pay the price for trucks. Here are some approximate prices for trucks.

John Deere $225
IHC M $200 plus
IHC Famous $300 to $500
Economy (small) $125
Fairbanks-Morse $90 to $125
Sandwich $175 to $200
Cushman "Banjo Cart" $350 to $400
7 HP Economy "under slung" cart $300 to $400

Paul Pavlinovich notes that you can buy reproduction trucks and skids - look in the engine magazines for suppliers
