133 50W's made?

So to say that only 133 50W's were made, additional information should be added that only 133 50W's were made in 1953 and the only year that JD called this specific configuration a 50W. Many more 50's configured exactly like those 50W's in 1953 were made in the remaining production years of the 50 production but they just were not recorded as 50W's.

To compare this for example to HWH production would also be foolish as the only HWH's produced and configured as such by JD were recorded as such by JD.

Yes, 133 1953 50W's were made but to not tell the rest of the story to a potential buyer is misleading in my opinion.

You make an excellent point! I agree at this point in time the 50-W does not fall into the "desirable" category. Yes, it is "rare", but doesn't command the respect that many of the more "desirable" and even less "rare" tractors do. Maybe I am on a mission to prevent the 50-W from being the Rodney Dangerfield of rare tractors. Again, I appreciate your rational response to the issue being discussed here.

I think the tractor that you said had not been relisted can be found in the current YT Photo Ads (I'll help you with the ad # if you can't find it). You are in luck, it is still for sale and the price is only $2500.00. Of course the engine is stuck, the carburetor is missing (good luck replacing that for less than $250.00), the front wheels don't match, it is missing some lights, it is missing the exhaust pipe, and, yes, you get to pay the shipping cost from California to wherever you are. Since it doesn't run you'll just have to assume the transmission and PTO are just fine, right? So, do you really think that your offer of $2500.00 for my 50W was reasonable? By the way, that was a rhetorical question.

First of all, mine is not the only repeat ad and you haven't seen it in several weeks. Second, this site is only free for those persons that do not voluntarily contribute. Third, you are correct, it is none of your business whether I sell the 50W or not. Personally, I think people are asking (and paying) too much for High-Crop tractors, 320's, 330's, etc., but I don't e-mail them my advice. I also don't make a habit of telling people what they should and should not advertise for sale. You have a great day.

Do not acuse will for emailing you.I did. I will speak to Deans original message since you seem to have your undies in a bundle! Your tractor is not as rare as you think, 50W long axle was made for a number of years. Check out the auction from pioneer power last year, a long axle wide front A and B sold for less than 4000 each. You are one of the guys that over value tractors on small facts. As to your email reply about most veiwers of YT mag not wanting your tractor and your niche buyer idea, why dont you place a larger ad in the two cylinder magazine and if most of us are beneath you, well you are wrong. You are right in saying that I did not want the tractor in California, but not because of the price, shipping was the factor!!!!! !!!!!

Get your facts straight. The last 50-W built was #5014610. That was the 133rd and last 50-W built. Long axle A's and B's number in the thousands, not a good comparison. Let's try to deal in facts and not your opinions.
