1950 INTERNATIONAL SUPER A1

Gentlemen,
I came across a 1950 International Super A1. This tractor is listed on an online auction. Best part is its located literally less than a mile down the gravel road from my in-laws. I stopped and looked at it yesterday and its as nice in person as it looks in the picture. I know these tractors are very rare, with only 1672 of them being built before the Farmall 100 rolled out. Just curious if anyone has any experience with this tractor, knows more about it and what it might be worth.
Below is the online link.

Thanks for any info/ advice!
 
At first, Duane's post didn't make much sense to me as neither of the first posts show in "modern view". (Suppressed due to banned external links.) After following the apparent links, I see the tractor that is probably in question (the one with the blade?).

Looks like a Maple-Hunter special. It is a run of the mill Farmall Super A. It happens to have the relatively unusual heavy duty front axle (same as on an International Super A). It does not have the foot speed control, which is a more reliable marker of an International vs. a Farmall. It looks like whoever "restored" it interpreted the front axle as meaning it was an International and put the wrong decals on it. (Odd, more people seem to like "FARMALL" decals on an "INTERNATIONAL" than the other way around. Further confusing the decal situation is that they used a model id decal that says "Super AI" which was never used by the factory on any tractor.
 
"What's it worth" is relative.Do you need it? is
it special family tractor? Are you collecting or
speculating? Being it is close makes it more
'valuable' than one 1000 miles away.See what
similar tractors bring.Then make your own
decision.An auction(especially 'online) things
usually sell 'cheaper'.Dont be one of those guys
who never buys anything because "I dont wanna pay
too much"!These "what's it worth" questions are
hard if not impossible to answer.So if you want
it,or need it,buy it!
 
OK, second try for modern view as I evidently used some bad words. If they would just flag or blank out the banned words during "preview" it would save a lot of work.

I don't think it is even a Super A-EYE, I think it is a Farmall Super A with a heavy duty front axle. No way to tell without taking a close look at the serial plate.
 
Since its a Super A industrial without the foot throttle, what are the differences between a Super AI and a regular Super A? I know the AI has a heavier built front axle and a square IH emblem on the grill, but is there anything else? Live hydro? I believe they both still have the 113 engine. I'm looking at a small tractor for acreage work and I know a lot of people are happy with super A's.
