Its hood says super a, but my research i have only found this reversed tractor in a bn. I am wanting to know the value of this tractor for i am considering selling it. The tractor runs and drives but needs tlc. Is it very rare ? Any info on the value, model and scarcity would be much appreciated. thanks, Steve K.
I think all John's forklifts were based on BN's. I've seen at least 2 farmerized clones added to Super A's, though. Early SA, and all A, B, and BN hoods are interchangable. Decals from something can be put on just about anything.

These forklifts are still incredibly popular in Southwest Michigan's fruit & veggie growing areas. They're pretty common in SWMI, and pretty rare outside of that area. If I had to guess, there were probably more than 500 and less than 1500 units made by John's.
