Rootsy: There is, and has been a trend with these offsets. For some weird reason the plentiful ones command the best price; roughly 110,000 SA, 66,000-140, yet only 19,000-100 and 10,000-130. Those figures not exact. Super As and 140s have always sold better than 100s or 130s.
I've heard comments at auctions about 100s 0r 130s like; "Oh that is the tractor, IH put out to replace the SA, they were all lemons." or If it has fast hitch, "Tractor no good without a drawbar." For some strange reason folks seem to think the reason 100 and 130 only lasted 2 years each model is they were both failures from the point of manufacture. This is not my opinion, just comments I hear around auctions.
In actual fact if I wanted a work tractor, I'd take the 100 or 130 any day over a SA or 140. I've had a SA and 130 for a lot of years, 130 definitely has more power and better cooling. I've only had the 140 5 years now, and I'm seeing evidence that by 1960, IH were starting to nickel and dime that once great tractor out of existence. My 130 probably has 10,000 hours on it, doubt if 140 has 1,000 hours, and there are several items been replaced on 140 but original on 130, and some more items replaced on both but not near rhe service life on 140 as on 130. I haven't worked my 140 that hard or that long, however what I see, I don't like.

Today's Featured Article - The 8N and the Fox - by Zane Sherman. Dec. 13 1998, Renfroe, Alabama. Last niht I dreamed about the day that I plowed the field of about 10 acres over on what Jimmy and Dandy called the Ledbetter field. I was driving the 1948 8N Ford tractor that Jimmy bought in 48 new This was prebably in about 1951 and maybe even befor the house was built. This would have made me to be about16 years old and I drove the tractor for nothing and would have paid to drive it if I had had any money which I didn't, but neit
