I 9 FARMALL

HOW RARE IS A I9 farmall & what is one worth,appreciate all input.

Is no such thing as an I9 FARMALL. I9 International,Yes.Some what "rare".But I dont think it's much more if any than a W/WD9 International.

Farmalls were row crops, McCormick Deering and later only McCormick were Standard tractors (no adjustable axles, no mounted equipment) International was the industrial version of the Standard tractors. Confusing to people who aren't familiar with the tractors. Later all the names were dropped, only International remained.

proper name is an I9 McCormick. they went with the International name on the 400/600 series.
not rare at all.
the W14 would be called rare.

Definitely no such thing as a Farmall 9 series tractor. The W-9's were most definitely McCormicks. The industrial version is the I-9. I am not sure here, but did the I-9's not actually have "International" on their hoods instead of McCormick.

I would say that the W-9's/WD-9's were much more plentiful than the I-9's. In Canada and the Northern U.S. there were many W-9's & WD-9's and still are quite a few around. I-9's were almost non-existant but can be found in other areas of the U.S. from time to time. So yes, I say that an I-9 is somewhat rare, but not the valuable kind of rare. Percentage-wise there are not a lot of people collecting the 9-series tractors. They are big, heavy, and can be expensive to repair. Certain parts are also difficult to find. Most people with farm roots in the U.S. remember Dad's or Grand-dad's Farmall so for the hobbyist, but not-so-serious collectors they want Farmalls, not McCormicks. What I do find with the few collectors that have a line of 9-series tractors is that they would usually jump at the opportunity to buy an I-9 or ID-9 to park in the shed with the W-9, WD-9, 600, & 650, etc. (9 series tractors).

Reagrdless of the "brand" name, an I-9 around here is somewhat rare. Heck, there are many I series around at all here. I have one of the few I-4s Ive ever seen. Don't let these guys get to you, two of them are wrong.

I also own an I 4. The grill emblem does say "INTERNATIONAL"

I think "rare to the area", or "rare tractor" is two different things.

So does mine. While I haven't "seen" yours, that make 4 or 5 I know of.
