Farmall Super A

Last Updated: June 2024

Overview

The Farmall Super A tractor is an iconic row-crop tractor, recognized for its solid performance in agricultural tasks. Produced by International Harvester from 1947 to 1953, it features a simple but effective design with a 2WD chassis, manual steering, and an open operator station. At the heart lies a 4-cylinder International Harvester C113 gasoline engine with a displacement of 113.1 cubic inches, generating 16 horsepower at a rated RPM of 1400. This model is characterized by its sliding gear transmission with 4 forward and 1 reverse gear, complemented by differential mechanical contracting band brakes for adequate braking power. It runs on Ag tires and offers a basic but functional operator environment. Though minimalistic, this tractor was a reliable workhorse in its time.
