I also posted this in the McCormick section.
I inherited my father's Super A. Serial number 263815 would indicate its a 1948? He was the original owner and it was garage and barn stored all its life, and has been parked, unused since about 1973. The markings are original and are faded, but legible. It even has the original canvass on the seat. It is not stickered on the cowling as a "McCormick Farmall" Super A, but as an "International" Super A. I have not seen any other Farmall tractor of about the same era marked as "International". The front axle is also heavy duty, not like the usual "O" type pipe on standard "A" models (for lack of a better description) but is a triangle shape, heavy steel axle as is would be the case for Super A's vs. standard A's. I haven't even seen any other Super A's with the same front axle. Can anyone give me any insight about the International markings? I am in the process of restoring it and would like to put original style stickers on it (International), but can't find them.
