Rusty: The value of a tractor perceived as rare, is rather interesting. The 00 and 30-50 series tractors have some of the lowest production numbers of any tractors built by IH, yet sales figures and price at time of sale would never indicate they are anything like rare.

In the case of the offsets, a good Super A or 140 will command far better prices than 100 or 130. A good Super C will always fetch more than a comparable 200 or 230. There was over 100,000 each of Super A and Super C built, yet none of the others except 140 topped the 25,000 production mark by much.

The 300, 350, 400 and 450 are much the same, none ever exceeded 25,000 by much, yet they don't stand out at auctions commanding big prices. I had a friend e mail, about 4 years ago asking if I could find him an SMTAD. I found 3 and they were all pushing $10,000. In my travels I also found a 400D, 2- 450D and 3-560D each with a price tag under $5,000.

Then there is the Super A1, only 1,957 ever built, yet I'll bet if you did a poll right this hour, of the names that appear on Farmall pages 1, 2 and 3, 90% couldn't give the specs of a Super A1.
