Bob: It takes roughly 90 tractors to give one of each version of letters series ever built. That takes into consideration super-non super, gas, duel fuel , lp, diesel, Standards, Farmalls and V series.

I know a guy very close to achiving this, last time I talked with him he was at 84, said he needed about 6 more give or take depending on how picky one gets. It has also taken him 40 years. He told me when he started the average restored H cost him $2,500. Today that is pushing $10,000., bear in mind also he hires a lot of professional help.

Like you, personally I'd be quite content with the SA, SC, SH and either SM or SMTA. The nicest looking group of Farmalls ever built. Lowey's styling may have been a big plus, however IH just made it look better on those Supers. I'll give you class A marks for good taste.

I somehow can't imagine having 90 old tractors around, why you'd be busier than a man tending a 100 maple sap trees, catching all the leaky carburators.
