I was wondering if anyone could tell me whether or not the first serial number produced for 1941 Farmall M....SN 25371 would be worth more than other SNs produced that year simply because it was the first one made for that year? THANK YOU!
 
Not to my knowledge, The tractor would need to be a transition "first" from H to SH, or other reason. The parts were made ahead of
production/assembly. Check casting codes. Some individual might think it was cool, and pay more! Jim
 

Thank you for your feedback. I just located that SN while shopping for an M and wanted to check into it.
 
as jim says, some collectors actually go for stuff like that for there bragging rights. they might pay more just to have it.
 
Most letter series Farmalls from that era
began with 501. Basically if you have a
three digit serial number, you have an
early one.
 
I have a Farmall A Cultivation, that was purchased in 1947. But the serial number FAA 182963 is the last serial number listed
for a 1946. I don't think it's any more valuable, but it is unique to me.
 
There are certain collectors here that go crazy to get oddball stuff like a first one of a certain year production tractor, like
your example, or last one of a certain year,etc. They think it will be more valuable when they try to sell it. I dont recall now
what it was, but a local guy had a first of the year Farmall, or he claimed it was. (I never checked.) "Never been touched, bought
from original owner, yada, yada yada." He died, tractor set there for some 15 years, and got sold for scrap. I made an offer on it
once, was still more than I was willing to pay, so the owners wife sold it for LESS than I offered.
