I have a johns manufacturing farmall forklift, have had it for about 10 years. Not sure if it is a bn or super a model. Its hood says super a, but my research i have only found this reversed tractor in a bn. I am wanting to know the value of this tractor for i am considering selling it. The tractor runs and drives but needs tlc. Is it very rare ? Any info on the value, model and scarcity would be much appreciated. thanks, Steve K.

I think all John's forklifts were based on BN's. I've seen at least 2 farmerized clones added to Super A's, though. Early SA, and all A, B, and BN hoods are interchangable. Decals from something can be put on just about anything.

I think these were built in Grand Junction, MI. I'm pretty sure they closed and had an auction about a decade ago. I remember seeing a flyer.

These forklifts are still incredibly popular in Southwest Michigan's fruit & veggie growing areas. They're pretty common in SWMI, and pretty rare outside of that area. If I had to guess, there were probably more than 500 and less than 1500 units made by John's.

I believe AG is correct on his facts, I live not far from were they were built and attended the auction , nearly all were BN's . over the years they evolved from being built with just narrow fronts to using various wide fronts and in the very end having their own weights cast also . the later ones were really quit nice and advanced, the very last one that was sold at the liquidation auction brought close to 13000.00 if my memory is correct. the forklifts are still plentiful in SW MI but BN's are not because of it. I,m not certain of all the details but the reason that they closed was because of a related death of one tipping over when being misused and a lawsuit there after .
