I went to a garage sale yesterday and bought what I thought was just another Super A, but when I got home looked up the serial number and it was the 23 built, what luck right?

That was a very good buy in my eyes.. I am not sure how rare it is. But the fact its a low number is very cool.

Im a little confused, which isnt that hard to do right now. Is it the 23rd Super A, or the 23rd demonstrator? If its the 23rd Super A, then its not a demonstrator, and if its the 23rd demo, how did you find that info out?
He means the 23rd demonstrator. "Accepted" serials are 281269-285298. Built the first quarter of 1950 -- the absolute records of the serials, if they were recorded, has not been found. First quarter of 1950 means the calendar year, not the fiscal year -- Jan, Feb, March, 1950. The casting codes of his tractor likely range from Oct-Dec 1949, or the S code.

According to a recently retired IH dealer, whose father started the business in 1940, the ONLY way to know if ANY tractor was a demonstrator, is to be able to detect the original white paint.
Serial numbers are inconclusive. Not ALL tractors that were built within the accepted serial number range were demonstraters.

Everything is white underneath, I mean everything.

I have a Super A Demonstrator too. Mine has February casting codes which puts mine somewhere in the middle. How much did you buy yours for, I got mine for $1000 because it was sandblasted and then sat with the sheet metal off it for five years, but it runs like a top. You should ask around and find which dealer it came from and see if you can track down any paper work.
