Nice looker you did a super job redoing .Back in the day Farmall had what they call demonstrators from the factory they where white may from the factory there were extra parts then dealers or factory re painted red this could be why you seen the color white .

[@bourbonbeertractorsandprep9335]

Thank you! Thats what I first thought until I talked with the 2nd owner who said the dealership he got it from did the two tone similar to how it is when he bought it in the 50s.

I enjoyed this greatly.

For a 6 volt, it cranks like a 12. I've never heard anything good about the Chinese carburetors. I love the correct early Super A decals you used. Great restoration job. RED POWER IN 1949...RED POWER IN 2022.

Thank you, yeah it starts and runs great! It was locked up solid when I brought her home.

[@tamaradoggett70]

John not Tamara, great job! One thing if you get a surge in the throttle it could be the thrust bearing in the governor, I don't know if you rebuild it too. It took us a couple of years to trace it down.

[@bourbonbeertractorsandprep9335]

I completely rebuilt the governor, it works and runs beautifully and is very responsive. I can quickly let the clutch out in 4th and it catches up quickly. The problem was in the Chinese carburetor that I had on it, problem solved by rebuilding the original.

@@bourbonbeertractorsandprep9335 Super series IH tractors are the most counterfeited tractors in the world . If I had a $100.oo for every regular model A , B, C , H & M I've seen for sale that had a Super sticker on it or the smart cons might go through the trouble of finding a old Super hood complete with faded paint and sticker & put on a regular letter series tractors to try and sale for a premium price I would be rich . Then when I point out to the seller that NONE of the casting#'s on the engine , transmission & axles , ect match up for a Super they get mad lol ! I've even run across a lot of counterfeited Super A's that were part A , 100, 130 & 140 ALL mixed together on the same tractor , the only super part on them where the new sticker set . Always check your serial#'s when buying a collector's item . Good job on the restoration .

I'm trying to find the Tractor my dad had in 1967 or 68. I was only 9 or 10 at the time. I say it was a H my brother says it was a M. I would really like to have it back. sad we never had any pictures of it. but yours is stunning. well done. stay safe.

[@bourbonbeertractorsandprep9335]

I hope you eventually find it!

[@carlhelmick7711]

Dude don't worry about what everybody else say . Hell if you listen to everybody on the internet. They all know more than anybody else on the planet and they happen to be there when the damn tractor was built. But like you said it's your tractor you can rebuild it any way you want to. And you can paint it whatever color you prefer if you like that paint job that's fine . I personally think it looks awesome. You did a awesome job on the rebuild and restoration of your tractor. My question are you going to use it to plow a garden or till a garden whichever the case may be. No disrespect and this is just me now. But if I had it I couldn't keep it without using it I'd have to plow me a garden. Yeah cuz I had me a big old garden with that that puppy there that's awesome. Awesome great job buddy. Hope maybe you have a little luck and they put it on one of them tractor magazines or calendars. Anyway have an awesome day.

[@bourbonbeertractorsandprep9335]

Thank you for the kind words! Yeah it may do the garden and plow some snow still!

Beautiful restoration. You’re going to be shocked when you go to buy new rims. I was at M.E. Miller tire Saturday and the price has gone up 4 times on a 3x15 rim blank. More than double than what I paid for 1 in the Spring.

Beautiful tractor! Not original but like you said it’s your tractor. It’s possible that it could have been a demonstrator. Which at that time were painted white.

[@bourbonbeertractorsandprep9335]

Its not original from the assembly line but it is original to what a dealer did with it in the 50s from West Virginia to compete with the newer Tractors by putting white on it. It wasn't white everywhere so it wasn't a demonstrator though.

[@dennisbrock1517]

Great looking tractor. Only thing is its too pretty. I wouldnt use it because Y would be afraid of scratching the paint or getting it dirty. We have a super A with a 200 engine. We a present have a woods 59 inch belly mower on it. Its rough looking and gets used.We are on the look out for the attachments and inplements etc.

Yeah this one will see snow plow and haywaggon use but thats about it. The H will see more actual work!

Very nice restoration! Thanks for sharing. Its motivating me to get back to my 1951 Super A. Was my great uncles. I had started restoration on it 10 years ago. And it was running at the time. Went thru some lifestyle changes and shoved it in a back corner of my shop. About 50% disassembled. Im getting back on the Jazz again to restart the project. Glad I stored everything well and meticously labeled parts. Looking for experience, resources for parts and restoration techniques. Your video is a great start. Thanks again !

[@henryhoffmann4648]

Would you sell it??

[@somebodyelse5820]

Awesome tractor! I am extremely jealous. I have a Super A myself and it’s a hodgepodge mutt of broken and repaired parts with a Super C engine. It runs ok, not perfect, but the chassis is just completely worn out. There’s slop and play in EVERYTHING. It definitely had a very hard life. It’s gonna need every singe part and bolt taken out to restore it. I wish I had saved the original engine because the block has an outisde crack which could be repair but due to unfortunate circumstances, I had to scrap the entire thing. God bless my wallet when I do eventually restore it. Anyways, when you were driving your tractor, I noticed your front right tire was way out of round and was wobbling horribly. Might want to check it out for your own safety.

[@bourbonbeertractorsandprep9335]

If it was pure white at one point, it's a good chance you have a white demonstrator, idk if you meant the whole tractor itself or just the side of the hood and grill but my bad if I heard you wrong hahaha didn't know just wondered if it could have been a demonstrator tractor from the dealer back in the day.

[@bourbonbeertractorsandprep9335]

Yeah I should have been more clear but it just had some similar to like it is now, no white on anything else rulingouta demonstrator. Most likely a dealer possibly did it in the 50s or 60s
