Help with Farmall-A and cultivator identification and vlue

aure_nn · Feb 7, 2020

My grandfather recently passed away and I'm trying to help my family identify and value his two antique tractors. I, however, don't know anything about tractors. One of his tractors is a Farmall A, serial FA-A 23313. I think that means it's a super A? He also has some rare cultivators, but I do not know mode or type. I've attached some photos of the tractor and one of the cultivators, any information on type or value or year would be so helpful. My family doesn't have much to go on.

That is a drag harrow for working the ground after plowing with a turn plow.

The serial number says it is a 1940 A.

Yikes. Really showing my ignorance on thinking that was a cultivator. Thank you for correcting me!

The implement in question is actually a DISK !

aure_nn: as mentioned, what you have is a Farmall A, not a Super A. They're a nice little tractor--I've owned two and our family still has the one we bought new in 1942. However, market value is going to be quite regional, and not all that high in any case. A combination of several factors--a lot (about 117,000) were made, they're simple and rugged enough hat a lot of those are still around, and the fact they lack any of the "modern" features (3 point hitch, hydraulics, standardized independent PTO, etc. etc.) means they're not particularly useful for things besides cultivating, light towing, and such chores, and unless there's a great call for such things in your area, going prices aren't going to be much higher than several hundred dollars, Link below gives a lot more information on the tractor, and you can find a link to the Super A there as well if you wish to compare them. The harrows may be useful for small garden plots or wildlife food plots, but again, they're value is not terribly high.

Thank you so much! Really appreciate the honest information. The tractor is in mid-Michigan, so I'll look at the local market.

Average price from what I have seen in the last couple years $500 to $700 can go higher or lower of course depending how the buyers are feeling that day.

The good news:
Rear tires look good - match original design.
Sheet metal in good shape.
Accessories - battery box, swinging drawbar, belt pulley, wheel weights

As mentioned Your tractor is a Farmall A and no hydraulic lift.
It does look to be in decent shape. The tractor value around
here if it starts and runs good with decent tires and rims and
everything else works would be $800-$1300 , less than that if
it needed work.The ?cultivators ? is actually a disk and not rare
or very valuable. It would be worth $50-$ 200 depending on
how much someone wants it. Many people may be interested
in one or the other but not both so be flexible .
