This blog is for aimless ramblings about vintage motor scooters, travel, and how to survive retirement. You may see other subjects here, because there are lots of stories back there in the cobwebs of my brain.

Help me find the model year of this tractor
I have just become the caretaker of the tractor that my wife's father bought new sometime between 1946 and 1950. I would like to pin down the model year. I'll load some pictures. Maybe you can tell me what you know about it. I know that it is a Super A, made by International, and that for some reason they put "Farmall" on the side of it. It has a 4-cylinder overhead valve inline engine with low horsepower but plenty of torque. It has worked hard for many years and except for the paint it has held up very well. I plan to get it painted and looking pretty much like a new tractor. I may put it to work a little in the garden, but like me, it is retired. I hope someone will still be caring for it when it is 100 years old.

wow nice tractor pics
ReplyDeleteRoy,
ReplyDeleteThat number is 271052. Depending on who you ask, it was bought new in either 1946 or 1950.
I got some bad news today when I drained the crankcase. I got a mixture of oil, water, and antifreeze.
