Rob: You're probably looking at a cub, which may have a Farmall or IH designation on it, but they are the same basic tractor. The easiest way to tell if it is a lowboy or a standard Cub is to look at the rear final drives. If they are straight up and down, it's a regular cub, but if they are horizontal, it's a lowboy. The Cub has a 3-speed (plus reverse) transmission, while the A, Super A, etc. have a 4-speed. As far as horsepower, don't think in terms of what you see modern lawn tractors rated at. The 9 hp number is a "real" drawbar horsepower rating, not like today's lawn tractors, which are typically rated at max RPM without taking the drive system into account. The Cub will outpull, outmow and outlast any 20-hp lawn tractor made. Parts are plentiful, and they're reasonably easy to work on. Also, due to the Cub having straight-cut gears, you're going to get a bit of gear whine--it's normal, and shouldn't be cause for alarm unless it's excessive. Finally, the price is in the ballpark--I paid $2300 for my cub with a belly mower, and I've seen them go for a thousand more than that.
