Hi Living-- I understand what you want and why you want it. I have a 48 A (not restored cosmetically but a great runner) that I paid $1300.00 for about two years ago. If I were to "pretty it up" in a first class way, I still couldn't expect to get more than $2000.00 tops. You can still buy a sound ands seviceable A around here in the $1500-$1750 price range. I know where there is a good running R. Nice condition, good sheet metal, not painted, good pony motor, tires starting to "go south", etc. A nice old R that anyone would be proud to have. It will take $6500.00 FIRM to get it. So I think to be realistic, you are going to have to pony up a little more cabbage than you originally planned to. Those diesel standards are great old tractors, as are A's and B's. But the A's and B's are much more common, so scarcity and market dictate the price. Here's a brief JD R story: every year our tractor club has an antique tractor display in conjunction with the Farm Bureau at the local shopping mall. It's absolutley priceless to see the reaction of the yuppies the first time they see a JD R "booming" down through the mall, some smoke pouring out. Most of them have no idea that such a thing even exists. Good look on your deal.

My Papaw had a 1954 IH Super A that he bought to replace a Cub. My Papaw raised "baccer" (tobacco) and corn with the Super A, but the fondest memory was of the sawmill. He owned a small sawmill for sawing "baccer" sticks. The Super A was the powerplant. When I was old enough (7 or 8), I would get up early and be dressed to
