Can anybody give me an idea what a 1954 Super A1 model is worth Restored, I have been told that this Model was only made one year 1954.
Important Announcement!
We recently suffered from a hard drive failure and the back up of the forum was bad so we searched for a good back up and the only one we found was from 2006. We lost 3 years of members and posts but we are going to continue to rebuild the forum. We now have a new back up solution in place so by all means signup.

This probably isn't much help, but there were 5,953 Super A's, Super AV's & International A's produced in 1954.
Also, in 1954 the purchase price of the Super AV was: $1,509.

Pam:
This basically applies to all restored tractors. IMHO, a restored tractor price is determined by the following variables:
LOCATION : where is the tractor?
AVAILABILITY: Is this particular model abundant or is there a dearth of them in your area?
Desireabilty: Is there a high demand for this type of tractor in your area?
Condition: How good a restore job is it? Is it just a wash and paint? Is it a ground up restore including engine, drive train and chassis? Is it a working tractor or has it been restored for show purposes only?
HOW MUCH $$$ IS IN THE RESTORE: You may or may not depending on these variables recover your investment. There is a ceiling to price fetched on sale.
I would venture a guess that an A would be worth somewhere between $2,500.00 and $5,000.00 at best depending on the above.
Hope this helps a bit.

Hi Pam,
We're doing some research on your tractor and should be able to give you a little more information in a day or two.
thanks!

Pam,
Acorrding to what I read in the Originality Guide-Farmall Letter Series Tractors by Guy Fay Andy Kraushaar, what you were told was correct. The tractor was only manufactered in 1954.
To quote the authors, "The Super A-1 received the C-123 engine in 1954, along with a new grill, radiator and hood. Only a few thousand of these tractors were produced. This Tractor did not receive new decals to commemorte the new name however, appearing instead as a regular Super A. Instead, The serial number plates were revised. The reason why the Super A didn't receive the new engine until 1954 is unkown. It probably had to do with the single row misson of the tractor and the fact IH had previously considered ceasing production of the tractor."
Guy Fay also wrote a book, International Harvester Tractor Data Book. Normally he lists alot of data, but the International Super A-1 has a lot of "na" listings including the Nebraska test number, which tells me that you do probably have a rare tractor.
Hope this helps.
