I wasn't looking for another tractor. I happened upon CL and this ad had just been posted. I thought it was a misprint but replied anyway. As I expected no response....but later that night, there was one! Lady said she had a lot of responses but I was the first; could I come and get it the next day. The next morning, I showed my wife the ad and the response. She told me to reply and ask her to call the home phone to see if it was a scam or not. Less than a minute after I hit "send" the phone rang. It was the real deal. 1949 Farmall Super-A. A woman owned it. She bought it from a guy who ran it in parades. She used it around her small horse farm to pull a trailer and a spreader. Her brother was there, visiting from Georgia. He said he used to tune it up for her each summer, but he had vascular disease and had lost a leg. He was in a wheel chair for 3 years and couldn't travel and even if her did he couldn't have worked on the tractor. One summer, it wouldn't start for her. She tried the basics, gave up and tarped it. She didn't want to see it rot away. She told me she had gotten 60 replies to her ad. Price? $100!
Wow, I'd almost feel bad only paying $100 for that! Looks just like the Cub my grandpa used to use in his garden, only with fresh paint.
Holy !!! I've got a super A and love it first off but didn't pay $100 for it specially after rebuilding it! Awesome!!
you got a steal of a deal! I had a super C and sold it last year. My dad still uses his Super M every week
