Super H tractor Is this a rare one 1953 1954

If it is a Stage II SuperH it will have 300 style front bolster with
vertical holes. If ordered with hydraulic reservoir will be under
gas tank and battery under seat. Think it will have 3 bolt
starter mount.
 

Ok I have to wait about 10 days, due to quaretene,. Daughter daycare had a case. It was his or his dad's orig and garage kept,.
I know he said only a few were made, but I originally was selling it for him and then he gave it to me. Where would I find the information if it was rare I haven't even had a chance to look at it since I took the pictures because of quarantine.

He mentioned it ran perfectly parked so imagine I'll have to look at the carburetor I'm new to tractors but is this just normal gas 87 not ethanol.

Anyways when I get more pictures I'll post it.
 
Condition is a big factor. For same condition SH tractors the ones with serial number plates mounted long way front to rear should be worth more than ones with the long way vertical serial plates. Actually IH put some upper bolsters with extra holes in the front corners on vertical plate tractors starting in the 16000 to 17000 serial number range. Not all in that range up to serial 19234 had them though. Serial number 19234 was the start of serial plates mounted long way front to rear built in Nov. 53.
 
I think you should be careful of zeroing in too much on the term "rare" ...... it might make a particular model worth a wee bit more but we're talking about prices for old tractors being in the dumps these days, and there is no shortage of H's. Mike M's comment might be one to look at.
 
Just be aware that rare and valuable are two different things. While IH did not make many Super H's, of either "stage," they are typically not worth a whole lot more than a regular H at least in my experience.

Of course, you get the right two people excited about one at the auction and anything can happen. They're just not automatically valuable like a Super MTA.

The rarest variant of the Super H is the 1953 Stage II, which was only made for a month or two at the end of 1953.
 
I currently own 2 53's, and sold a 54 awhile back. Not really rare around here, but will bring more money than a straight H. The 54 I sold brought very good money on Ebay.
 
Keep in mind that something being "rare" doesn't necessarily mean it will command a high price. Maybe only a few were made because nobody wanted them.
 
Generally speaking,a SuperH is worth about the same as a regular H.Not as plentyful but definitely not 'rare'.While IH only made about 10 percent the number of SuperH as regular H,they are about
the same in 'value'. That is unless you get to a 'restored' with wide front,live hydralic pump to a 'high end collector'-those guys are nuts.But for a 'user',about the same as a plain old H.
 
No, but finding anybody that collects old tractors is getting pretty rare.
Can't remember the last time I talked to any young people that said "boy I
really want to get an old tractor to collect". Now that would be rare! the
old tractor ship has sailed and most young people would be more interested
in what the scrap iron value is.
 
As far as values I will shoot in the dark saying it is
worth from $500 to $5000. A nice runner with fair
paint, good tires and kept well will fall in the $1250 to
$3500 range. To get in the $5000 range needs to
have immaculate paint, hoses, belts and tires all
looking nearly new with paperwork documenting an
engine rebuild. The data I find says that around
29,000 Super Hs were produced.
 
Later style with live hydraulics and battery under seat are desirable in our area of Wisconsin. In December I sold a very nice Stage II with
new rubber, narrow front and good paint for $4000. This was at a Consignment Auction. Same auction I sold a very nice SMTA with wide front
for $4750. Nice Farmalls in Super Series are still collectible. A nice SMD brought $3750.
 
I own SH # 29093. Last 2 weeks of production. Keep a 9 ft sickle on it to do the open areas of yard an ROW. Trim up with 50 inch Cub Cadet.
 
It's a 1954 Farmall Super H. my Dad bought it in 1956 at a farm sale. The Super H's were only made for two years. The H's were first started being made in 1939 and many thousands of them were manufactured. In 1954 International Harvester switched to the Super H for two years - I think they made around 2700 of them.

This was the tractor my neighbor had, and is giving me, said it had some carb issues, in any case i am not sure if it is rare or not.

Here are the numbers of the later Hs from data on the YT serial number page; Hs built in 51 23,938... in 52 14,640... Super Hs built in 53 21,701... there is no end of production for 54 so I cannot give you that number. Yes, if it is equipped with unusual equipment it may be worth slightly more, but by no means a rare tractor. Now if you had a John Deere 4000 from 69 - 72 with a gasoline engine and power shift transmission that would be a rare tractor, only 9 made, see the link. http://www.tractordata.com/farm-tractors/000/0/7/72-john-deere-4000.html
 
Good morning, davpal: Just a comment as I am just passing through, I like your expression 'ship has sailed'.
