International Fence Charger

[nh8260]

I was at the tractor show the other day and one of the vendors had a brand new fence charger which is still in the original box along with the advertisements and warranty card. It has "International Chicago IL" on the box and the charger, this is a model 650. The International font looked a lot like the side hood emblems on a late 60's IH Loadstar 1600. I looked it up online and it came back to the International Electric Company, was this charger made by International Harvester or a completely different company??

And no pictures? Seeing something that old still in the box is a one time event. That's cool

It is IEC & not IH.

Think IH had some branded for them though.

Dad had an international fence charger in the 60's. Don't know if it was built by IH. I do know you didn't want to make contact with the fence. You probably don't need to ask how I know that.

We got our International Fencer at the IH dealer.
We had an early version with green and red lights status of fence operation . Trade it in for a later international version.
I don’t know models or version of weed chopper they had . It was powerful, cut half way thru sapling. Might be why they were offering a good deal on trade in .

Never heard of trading in a fence charger.

I am 55 and that's the only fencers we had, or everybody around in NE Nebraska in the 70-80's, then move onto something else that doesn't come to mind now. In the garage where I live and rent, the landlord has 3 on the shelf and don't know anything about them, but used. Think the hardware store sold them or the co-op. They were good back in the day, little weak compared to what's made now.

We had a couple of International fence chargers in the late 70s or early 80s. They were purchased at the county CO-OP. I don't think they had anything to do with the International Harvester company.

I agree.

Yep, that's a separate company. No relation to IH.
