Super A worth.

I am looking into buying a Super A that is in good cosmetic shape and runs great. Mismatched rear tires though. What is a decent offer for this tractor? I am up in Minnesota if that helps put a price on it.

He also says that he has the front cultivators to fit it. What is a decent offer for the front cultivators?


Thanks as always,
Cole
 
I would let him name his price, snap some pictures, and come back here with both and see what kind of reaction you get. Beyond that you should also check sold tractors on ebay, especially in your region.
 
I just sold a 1952 SA last fall for $2,850.00.
Clean sheet metal, ran good, new tires.
With front and back cultivators.
You want to give as little as possible and the seller wants to get as much as possible.

See, hes aking for 2,950.00 for just the tractor. With mismatched rears. That does not include the cultivators. I feel that 2,500 for it all would be fair considering I WILL be replacing the tires. I CAN'T STAND MISMATCHED!
 
Sure. No one can tell you exactly what a tractor is worth and especially without seeing it and even then it is a guess at best.
 
Buying anything, new or used, is a crap shoot.
If you have seen it, heard it run and driven it, and it is worth $2,500
to you, then tell him $2,500 is as high as you will go.
If you get it fine and if you don't, it just wasn't meant to be.
The right one will come along.

You are a sellers dream come true. Do you really walk into it by telling them the highest you will go and hoping it is as low as he will take? What if you were wrong and he would have taken $1,500? I won't even deal with a person who will not name their price. I have a ton of stuff for you if you want to run over here and tell me the most you will give me for it.

I just bought a 1949 Super A with full cultivators, drawbar, and scratchers for the $2,400. That is all the guy was asking, and I didn't argue since he had just fixed it up. Down south, I should be able to get AT LEAST $3,400 for it no problem this spring. The tractor is immaculate all the way through too.

I also bought a 1972 Farmall 140 (later model Super A) today with all of the equipment (cultivators, planters, 1 pt hitch bush hog, 1 pt hitch disk, and 1 pt hitch double plow) for $3,300. The tractor was in a barn and hasn't been ran in several years. Its also going to need rear tires as well.

Hope that is of any help. I will post pictures of the Super A below. I am picking up the 140 tomorrow, and don't currently have any pictures.

Probably, because I doubt you would do that! Am I right? Your point is well taken I probably read it in a way you did not intend it. I have had this argument many times with people in the past few months. Likely I read it wrong and I am a big enough dog to admit it.

The big problem with using ebay as an indicator is that you don't know for sure if that particular tractor actually sold, or if the seller had a bunch of buddies run up the price in hopes there would be a sucker with real money in there somewhere. I've watched way too many items listed on ebay appear to sell for an incredible price, only to see that same exact item relisted a couple of weeks later with the accompanying story of "the buyer backed out", or "the buyer would not pay". A much better option is to talk with a few of the local auctioneers.
 
In defense of my position on e-bay, when you look at historical sales you are essentially working in a statistical function. You want to discard both items that sold for a lot of money as well as those that sold for too little. Reviewing past sales it is easy to see those that have been relisted after being sold high. You would want to disregard those as being suspect. It is as simple as that. I use ebay very often for this purpose. It is a lot easier than trying to reach a lot of local auctioneers, many of whom have questionable knowledge and are not tractor appraisers.

Dave,
This is a big kennel and there is room for everyone. Even the friendliest dog’s growl at each other from time to time. No big deal.

Now back to the point of the post. I absolutely stand by what I wrote. I’ll explain.
Farmall-H indicated the seller was stuck on $2,950 for just the tractor.
He figured the tractor and cultivators together are worth $2,500 to him, not to us, but to him. And that is all that matters, what it’s worth to HIM.
So in this instance, offering $2,500 for tractor and cultivators (and not a penny more), take it or leave it, is a perfectly valid suggestion.

I think Farmall-H understood that.

Merry Christmas,
Dell
