1941 FARMALL A TRACTOR

The new McCormick-Deering Farmall Letter Series tractors introduced in 1939 included the Farmall A, B, H and M. All featured beautiful new styling by industrial designer Raymond Loewy. The Farmall A was an all-new offset design. The frame, engine, and drivetrain were offset to the left, and the driver's seat and controls were offset to the right to give the driver an unobstructed view of the ground and the crop being cultivated. International promoted this as its Culti-Vision design. The A was rated to pull a one-bottom plow or cultivate one row. The Farmall A was International Harvester's answer to the Allis-Chalmers B, which entered pilot production in 1937 and full production in 1938. The B was also a small one-plow tractor and it resembled the Farmall A, but lacked the offset design. Although the B sold very well, the Farmall A quickly overtook it. When running on gasoline, the Farmall A had slightly more power and a 4-speed instead of 3-speed transmission. This is one of 22,950 built in 1941. Based on the serial number, this Farmall A was built towards the end of production in 1941. This tractor has been nicely restored with many new parts throughout. Some of these parts include the wiring harness, ignition, rebuilt starter, rebuilt generator, battery and tires. It's been finished in the correct red and looks great. The International Harvester 1.9-liter 4-cylinder engine runs very well. From the MS Classic Cars Collection. **SOLD ON BILL OF SALE ONLY** **SOLD AS A PAIR WITH LOT 365.1**
