Whats a goood repainted late M worth?
has the pull switch not key,
Looked at one at a Dealer here in Ks,
guy said about over 5 grand,
probably wayyyyy overpriced on a dealers lot,
I said no way,
Ok, ,,,, whats the truth on this anyway?
I Like M's,,
fits me good,
That John Deere is wierd,
Pedals are dinky,
wasnt gonna admet to myself about buying this 47 JD A,
then having 2nd thought's about redoing it?
ohh nooo,,,,, did i make a BIG MISTAKE ON GETTING THIS A,
AND NOT THINKING IT THRU??????
did I get this on Impulse?
I dont know if i can get used to a hand clutch?
Like the foot type ALOTTTT BETTER,
Ive seen one's running these but the hand clutch dont make no sense to me,
Farmall Is Normal ,,
John Deere is uhhhhh wellll I dont know??????
I mean the styled A's are nice looking,
but the farmall is that much better i think,
 
no I didnt gary i was going to and the guy i got it from let it go to a kid and his dad without telling me he sold it I paid 100,00 for it,but was waiting to get a trailer,
really kinda ticked me off,
I liked that type S minnie and the guy sells my combine out from under me like it was nothing,
just because i wasnt there to pick it up he tinks im not interested in it
some people are dumb and blind,
 
I've been trying to tell you guys that dealers are INSANE for years now...

They're not trying to sell that M to a farmer. They know farmers aren't going to pay $5000 for it. What they're looking for is some schmuck off the street that doesn't know any better.

That's what ALL these guys who are asking crazy prices for their tractors are looking for... Some idiot to walk up and say, "Ooooh! Pwetty wed twaktor!" and hand over a stack of $100s.

That A, running good and painted up is worth as much money as any two Ms. You really should get it looking good so you can sell it and raise some cash for an M, plus a nice vacation to an exotic locale.
 
Nothing wrong with the JD A, but if you think anyone on the IH forum is going to say you done good... :roll:
Only problem I see with the JDs is if you are in an antique tractor club, the JD guys think they own the club... that's not a problem with the tractor.
I was raised on JDs as the bigger tractors and Farmalls as the chore/cultivating small tractor (this was MANY years ago when a 35-40HP tractor was a big tractor)... I have been lucky enough over the years to run several sizes and brands and they all have their good and bad points. A JD with a Sound-Guard cab is the best to spend all day on.
 
I was raised on Farmalls mostly (we did have a few JDs) and if I had to wake up tomorrow and put in 12 hours on GOOD later model JD A or Farmall M I would probaly pick the A.
