Bowman Orchard Fenders

Is anyone familar with the Bowman Orchard fenders? What different tractors did they make them for? I have a set taht i was told was for a D2. Anyone have an idea of the value?

thanks,

John

Bowman and Bishop both made fenders for 10, 15, 22 and D2 that I know of. They also made them for other brand tractors. These were all used in citrus farming. I have heard of Bishop fenders for the Cat 10 selling for anywhere from $100 to $1000 for a set. I would say they may be more rare for the D2 because by then Cat was making their own citrus fenders. - Wally

I have seen Bowman Fenders on an Allis Chalmers M. It also had a fairing
around the cockpit. I have a photo of an IH T-20 with fenders that look like
they could be Bowman,

If you look on the Cal-Poly Pomona's Caterpillar Tractor Collection there are
several photos of Cats with orchard fenders. Some of them look like they are
Bowman.

If you decide to part with the fenders I would be interested. I have a narrow gauge
D2 that needs fenders anyway. I've been looking for several years for a set of Bishop fenders,
even a busted, beat-up pair. At this point, I'm not too choosey.

John, I have seen Bowman fenders on Cat Fifteen and D-2 tractors as well as for Allis Model M and Ford and Massey wheel tractors. I am shure that they fabracated them for a variety of tractors. Bowman also made citrus shields for pull type tillage equipment. Value is what the buyer wants to pay or the seller wants to sell at. I have seen them bring as high as $1500 a set
