I'm looking to purchase my first Farmall Super A. Have had a couple of 8N's so I was wondering if you could offer some advice on what to check for when inspecting the tractor.

Take a piece of 1/2" square bar stock and an adjustable wrench with you and screw out the transmission oil fill plug which is on top of the transmission near the shifter. Use a flashlight to look into the hole to see if: a) the transmission has oil and 2) if it has oil, what color is the oil (check after running the tractor around in the yard for five or ten minutes). If the oil is white/creamy this indicates water has gotten into the transmission.

I bought a 140 thinking everything was peachy and later when I was changing the fluids (always do that first thing when I buy a used car, truck, tractor) found out the transmission had no oil. The rear seal can go bad on that series tractor and when it does, the transmission won't hold oil.

Most if not all the same things you would check on an 8N apply to looking at other tractors. Tires, sheet metal, cracks in the block, what fluids look like. ETC

Hi Chuck, Well, everything inbetween the steering box and the PTO shaft :") All kidding aside, there are many things to check. Steering box freeplay, how it runs, compression check, gear box noise, they all have some but how bad? Tires, general apperance, how was it taken care of? Was the block ever cracked behind the carb, many were and repaired.It would almost be easier to have someone that knows that particular tractor to check it out.
