Late 1952 John Deere A

Wes Verbal · Nov 16, 2018

About to purchase at late model John Deere A
Was wanting to know if there is anything special
About them ? As being late.

RandyB(MI) · Nov 16, 2018

Nothing special other than being a "last year" model. If real late S/N 300,ooo+ it may have a factory water pump on it. Other than that , not much different than a '50 or even '51 "B"

Serial # is 691343 ? It?s got set of 18-4 38 Rice andCane rear
Tires engine gone through run well.

JD Seller · Nov 17, 2018

Your serial number is wrong. For it to be a last year it would need to be 299,000 +

Wes Verbal · Nov 17, 2018

Ok. I was wondering I?ve never had a A before just seen the serial numbers and the last production was #703384 figure
It being 691343 it be a later year model a I guess.

JD Seller · Nov 17, 2018

Opps Looked at the other posters reply. You have a JD "A" not a JD"B" the serial number break is 689880 for 1952. So yours would be a 1952 model. Your would be worth a little more than an earlier styled JD "A" but even that is not real high in today's market. I see nice paint, good tires, plus running good JD "A"s not bring $2000.

He said model "A". 299,000 would be for a "B".

Wes Verbal · Nov 17, 2018

JD Seller yeah I was going to trade a Minneapolis Moline G for it as the engine has been rebuilt on the A and fuel tank clean and also comes with set of good 15 tires to replace the
18?s that are on it. Crankcase has been clean and and new oil and starter rebuilt as well.

The best thing about the late A's, is the single stick 6 sp. transmission. These are great tractors. I've had one for yrs. The straight 6 trans. started in the late 50's. I have a stock '50 G and a '52 A & the A will out work it hands down and burn half the fuel.

This one being kinda late year would it have the water pump ?

Mike(NEOhio) · Nov 17, 2018

Late As also had a very low first gear. On the minus side, reverse is a bit too fast.

8850dave · Nov 17, 2018

I've got 2 with 700,000+ serial numbers so they both came with factory water pumps plus one a little older without the factory pump. One of the late ones has the factory live hydraulics added a nice feature.
