Hi Don g: I payed a little more for my Farmall C when I saw that it had the very same factory options that were on the first Farmall C that I drove for threshing in 1948. ...and it had a serial number indicating that it most likely was made about the second week of production and most of the cast iron parts have a late 1947 code. (But then I also really didn't need too much of a reason to buy... ) What I am really saying is that if the right person comes along, he'll find a reason to pay. The lower your serial number the better but.. you never can tell untill the deal is done. Not like pricing stuff in a store. agpilot

i disagree, it dosent have to be 501, i have seen other first year tractors go for more. my dad had a H that was one of the first 1000 made. it was like 1034 i know it started with a 1 and had 3 numbers after it. it has the smaller pto that needed the adapter. had the earlyer seat, starter switch was operated with the foot. It had a loader on it. by the time I left home the flywheel was stripped 5th gear was worn out, engine would foul plugs after a half hour of running, plus the carging system was toast as someone put on an altenator and cut the hood. my dad GAVE it away along with a modle 45 hay baler. If i would of had my 5 achers and i was older i would of took them. I want to track down the guy who got it and see if he junked it or fixed it up. it also had 1 bad tire on the back that you had to air up daily and two flats in the front.
