Anything rare about it?

My father recently happened apon a Faramall A with an adjustable wide front. It was the first one I have seen or heard of with an adjustable wide front. Have I been oblivious to my surroundings or are these somewhat rare? I checked the archives with little result other than I see that replacement parts were commented on as being rather expensive. Thanks so much for your help.

In the 1951 IHC price list, for Farmall Super A, a non-adjustable front axle in ileu of standard is a -$14.00 deduct. It adds NOTE: When non-adjustable front axle is ordered in lieu of regular adjustable front axle, non adjustable
front wheels must also be ordered in lieu of adjustable front wheels.

Non-adjustable front wheels in lieu of standard adjustable front wheels was a -$6.75 deduct.

Adjustable front axle 30335D heavy duty in lieu of standard was $39.50. (This is the axle that was standard on the International A/SA.)

The only A without adjustable wide front would be the Industrial A.

All the Farmalls were adjustable...

I know where there are two A FARMALLS with non-adjustable fronts as i have worked on both of them both had serial numbers starting with FAA.

I should have said "in my experience."

I'm sure that Guy Fay's book has an explanation...

That's the only way they were manufactured -- all 117000+ of them. You must be thinking of a B which only came with a NF or SF, no WFE.

CNKS: I have seen both A and AI with non adjustable front axle. Not many I will grant you, but there are a few out there. By your figures, my guess would be less than 1% were non adjustable. When I did see these both round and square axle, I looked them over very closely and my opinion they had to be factory. I didn't see them together, by the way.

The way the question was worded I assumed he was mixing up the A and B, and thought the A came with a narrow front. Having others say that the A could also be had with a non-adjustable WFE did not surprise me, as I thought that might be what he was asking. But, I could not imagine any one with any experience with Farmalls asking that question. My Super A parts book shows one so I assume it would work on International and Farmall.

We have an A(it's in peices now but ran when I was little) that has a solid wide front. The axle is heavy-walled round tubing or pipe. There's flat iron braces running down on each side to the lower portion of the spindle uprights. I suspect it may have been aftermarket or built in some welding shop somewhere, as this tractor was kind of an oddball anyway. It had been reversed to run as a hay sweep, and the weirdest part was that although it had the serial tag saying it was an A, it also had the wide left rear axle like a B.
