Gary: I think a lot of this depends on location. Also I wouldn't go too much by what advertized prices are. Look to see what they actually sold for. If you asked me to give you a quick answer on this same subject, the two hottest selling IH tractors today are Super H and 140. You almost have to see an add before the ink gets dry to find a SH today. 140 is not quite as hot but close. I can understand the SH, they are not plentiful. The 140 however is not even close to being rare. There were far fewer SA1, 100 or 130, yet they will not fetch near the dollars the 140 will. SA will even sell better than a 100 or 130.

I ocasionally check adds after they have run for a couple of weeks. You try and find either SH or 140 after two weeks. 140s are going between $4,000. and $6,000. in top shape. SH between $3,000. and $5,000. You will find Cubs and M's unsold after two weeks.

By the way Farmalls A, SA, SA1, 100, 130 and 140, same basic tractor for 40 years from 1939 to 1979, has higher numbers than the Cub unless you include Cadets. My dad bought a new Cub once, thought it was going to replace the horse, it didn't. The A and SA are twice the tractor, in very little larger package.
