You must be selling that nice looking tractor and it seem to be working just fine too. I first used a Massey Ferguson tractor in 1965 and thought it was great until I got to drive a Ford tractor which was larger, and had power steering on it. After retiring from the Air Force and moving back home I found and purchased a John Deere package deal locally with the box blade, bush hog, and trailer with the tractor and loved all the equipment. I got a new tractor last year from the same dealership and love it also and have used the equipment around my place to maintain the property. Farmall tractors had a reputation for being dependable and I think they was owned by International Harvester which is now Case.
I need to find some center mounted tools, such equipment is very rare in my corner of the country. I inherited a good condition 140 but the prior owner didn't have any Farmall implements so the thing is just about useless. I installed an aftermarket 3 point hitch so it can at least do a few generic tractor jobs. Front and rear wheel weights would also be nice, the calcium salt has destroyed the rims.
@@ALTractorPickers Western Washington. Most of the farming is 300 miles away (one way) on the other side of the mountains. And those farms are either orchards, alfalfa, or large scale wheat and barley operations. The old row cropping areas of the country are 1500 miles away. Which is ok for shipping a new product from a manufacturer, but I like to inspect used items before commiting. (And WA is on some california hippy trip trying to price everyone out of their vehicles with taxes and fees, so I can't afford my own truck anymore and would need to hire somebody to haul it that distance.)
Ricky, that was about 10 years ago so I really don't remember. We have another one like it for sale right now. If you're interested, email me at ihfarmallrtr@gmail.com
you really should bring it to a complete stop before you change gears these do not have a sencronised transmission and you can really damage it by changing gears like that
you're right. You can also push up on the shifter in the (non-existant) position above Reverse. If you push up and hold the shifter there, it will act as a clutch brake and give you smoother shifts and no grinding! Try it!
The headline for the article says that this is a Super A, which I believe it is because it has the hydraulics, but the insignia on the side of the tractor only has the "A" on it, and not the "Super A" which it should have on it. No metal insignia emblem on the front grill either. Restoration failures.
Woodrow Magnus this is a Super A. I bought the tractor already fixed up and the previous owner had put the wrong decals on it. I wanted to put the correct ones on it, but the paint was too good to repaint it and that is what would have been needed. I tried to remove the "A" decals and couldn't without messing up the paint. I ended up installing the missing emblem on the front after the video was shot.

Man i wish you would hold still so we can see the setup
Sorry about that. I've been trying to get better with my video skills since I did this one about 12 years ago.
I would like to see this beautiful tractor pull a 2 disk plow! Not a bottom plow that goes behind a tractor with a 3 point hitch!!
Thank you for the comment. We actually have a 2 disk plow that was made for this tractor. It fits under the belly.
The reason I asked is both of my grandfather's had a Super A, pulled a 2 disk from behind the tractor..
This is Allen. At (tractor restore) in Raleigh North Carolina Four Oaks. If you would like to see some of my work it's on Craigslist services.
Sure!
Where did you purchase the cultivators?
I got them with the tractor. I probably have 30 sets of them right now.
Where are you friend, I still looking for a tracter like this please let me know if you still have the model of 140

TRACY FRIERSON a tractor in similar condition will bring anywhere between $2,500 and $3,500 depending on your location.
I'll give cold cash 1500.00
Everyone would give that lol that's a knee slapper!!! 😂
I this is Joe from Westfield mass if you're interested in selling it give me a call.
Hey Joe, I have about 30 Super A tractors and have a couple I will sell. THis one is long gone.

The tractor isn't restored by any means. It is just a well taken care of working tractor in good condition.
Woodrow, I guess you didn't watch and listen to the video explanation.
1400.00
