In case anyone is looking for similar fenders, this may be helpful. I have been looking for months to find a set of used IH fenders. The few that are available seem to be ridiculously high priced. (One outfit quoted me $750 plus shipping for some fenders with 'moderate rust and dents.') I was all set to just make my own fenders, then I found a great little company that makes replacement tractor parts.

I just bought some NEW adjustable-fit fenders, for about six hundred dollars less than the foregoing quote, from Turner Welding in Alabama. (partsfortractors.com) They fit my Farmall 560 with 16.9 x 38 rear ag tires and 96" rear track width. They also adjust down to Ford 8N size, so they cover quite a range.

These are flat-top fenders that look very similar to the IH 706 type. The fenders are well-made, with heavy sheet metal, multiple steel gussets with good quality welding, a protected conduit for wiring, a grab handle, and very heavy base mounts.

They got here in about 2-3 days by UPS, primed and ready to paint. You have to supply your own axle U-bolts and other bolt hardware that will fit your application. One could even mount headlights in the fenders, just like the 706 style. Once they are painted red, you would have to look twice to determine they were not original equipment.

Only two downsides to the whole deal:
1) The fenders are shipped unboxed and they got some repariable dings and scratches. However they are shipped insured.
2) They only sell wholesale, to someone with a business license or business tax ID.

This is hands-down the best deal I have found for tractor parts to date. They also make a bunch of other parts for IH, Ford, Deere, and Massey tractors.
