David: What can I say, the others have said most of it. scotty eluded to the production run, yes starting in 1939 with the A, SA, SA1, 100, 130 and 140 1n 1979 and little changed other than improvments.

These tractors are one of the very few tractors that will pull 3 times their own weight on a stone boat. I have a photo of my Farmall 130 hitched to a set of bobsleds with 2 cords of softwood pulpwood on sleds. That was the largest load, but we did extract 158 cords from bush on 113 loads. A cord of softwood weighs about 4250 lbs.

Just the greatest little tractor for the home owner to do his yard work. I even think they are so perfect I have three of them, SA, 130 and 140. These little tractors will never damage your bank account severely. Believe me, I farmed with tractors up to 150 hp.

As others said, a very good small tractor and many are still in service, cultivating, mowing and whatever else. Not a modern tractor, but not much too go wrong either. If one is in good condition, it will last longer than you, even if you are young. When IH announced they were going to quit making the 140 in 1979, so many were ordered that they could not meet demand. That speaks for itself.

David: The 140 (and its kin the Super A, 100, and 130) were possibly the best small cultivator tractors ever made. Many small "truck farms" used them as their only tractor, and a fair number still do today. They're almost bullet-proof, and parts are still readily availible--often off-the-shelf at your local Case-IH (or whatever it's called this week...) dealer. These tractors routinely sell for more than they did new, and if you find a good deal you're wise to jump on it, or it will be gone quickly! Note that they are NOT a "modern" tractor--most do not have a 3-point system, the electronics are often 6-volt and a bit fussy, and they don't have a live PTO, but there are thousands of these still working for a living all over the country.

A 140 is a work horse for a 1 row tractor. My dad and I started farming using a 140. 65 acres of corn plus peas, pinto beans and potatos. We pulled a 2 disk turning plow with it. The only maint. problem we had with it was dad had to put a new head gasket on it. We made a 3-point hitch for it and it worked well. Pulled a 3pt. 5' disk, and a 5'bush hog with it. We even ran a hammer mill of the belt pully. In short, their a good 1 row tractor.
