IH listed shipping weight on the H as 2600 on steel, and 3140 on rubber. That was with all fluids except fuel, but zero optional equipment. That means no draw-bar, no starter, no muffler, no lights, no electrics at all, and so on.

My 1940 gets into the 3500 class just fine, with 12.4x38's and 6x16's, all cast wheels. I'm 210 myself, so there is not much room for error, but I am able to run a starter, and I make it without a single piece of aluminum anywhere on the tractor, even my weight bars are steel. With a little foresight and attention to detail, they can be made to pull in 3000 class depending upon what the rules allow.

I'd start my offer at $300 and if need be go to $500, but no more, as $500 is pretty steep for something that is essentially just a yard ornament until you fix it.

And here is one setup for 3000 class pulling.
