Super A1s are rare for sure, you have to make sure you have all matching castings, good tag and good tin. They can be worth 3500+ plus if all correct and in good shape. The trans are easy to work on, if you have done any trans work in the past youll be fine.

I imagine he is talking about an International A, not a Farmall Super A1. Not as rare.

All depends on just where the noise you say rear end they had a noise when new due to straight cut gears. I would replace the lube in the pans with 150 and then see what kind of noise could be a bad bearing on the axle or the one at the end of the diff shaft does the wheel havea wobble and can you wiggle it when jacked up. My self i wouldnt worry about it just too much.
