Picked up a Farmall Super C saturday

Andrew Kappers · Apr 7, 2009

This past Saturday, I went over to Wisconsin to an estate auction thinking about bring home a Farmall 400 Diesel but instead came home with a Super C. Decent shape, original decent paint, grill has some dents and wrinkels, came with complete set of cultivators mounted on the tractor. Had to pay $1650. Was this a fair price. I was willing to go higher but I guess the contesting bidders didnt want to go any higher. When I got it home, I took it out on the road, and it drives nice and straight with no wheel flop and no transmission noise. Now I just have to change oil and get it ready for the tractor drive in june.

Decent SC's with cultivators bring that or more here in KY. Have seen a couple bring 4 grand with side dressers.

What condition was the Farmall 400 diesel in, and what did it sell for?

Price sounds fair or even more than fair, especially since it seems to be in pretty good shape and not beaten or neglected to death.

If you haven't had one, I suspect you're gonna find the SuperC to be a real handy tractor.

Growing up, the BN was our utility/errand/cultivatin' tractor. Everything else was an H or bigger, and I'd have told you before I got the SuperC that the BN was the handiest thing ever built on wheels.

When I got it, the SuperC had a wide front on it, and I found that particularly un-handy for the tight spaces I have to deal with, especially in my new quarters. I've since switched that out for a NFE and am delighted. Not sure I could turn it around in Grandpa's barn like I could the BN, and it was plenty useful before, but its' a lot more useful tractor to me now than it was when I got it. What with the extra weight and taller wheels over the BN, she'll pull the extra that the BN won't for things I want to do.

The BN is my "baby" (can ya tell?!?) and I love to run her, but with the narrow front under it, the SuperC will get a lot more use now. A great little tractor!

Congrats!

the 400 diesel was in decent shape but didnt run. The guy had it in his shed for years and the guy he bought it from had it in the pasture and the cattle ate the wiring harness. It sold as a non-running tractor but was 95 percent complete minus the gages and lights and brackets. Sold for 1,900 and was going to go that huy but i would have rather put my money into one that I could here run.

Was the engine stuck or loose?
