Auction company having an estate sale and on the list of items to be auctioned; 1949 Super A Farmall-Reconditioned in 1989, very few hours since rebuilt.According to the casting codes (x), it was an 1952, hydraulic lift didn't work and it had about 1 round of slack in the steering, but it ran real well. Well, I am in Central Mississippi where we very rarely get snow. Guess what; woke up Saturday morning, the day of the auction with 1 to 2" of snow on the ground. I called the auctioneer to find out if the auction was cancelled and he said "no". I figured very few people would be there, and I might get a good deal, so wife and I decided to travel the 15 miles or so. It was still snowing quite a bit at 9:00 a.m. I had begun to worry whether I would be able to make it back over the roads. Lo and behold, I think everyone else had the same idea; place was over-run with folks; most of the men had came for the same reason I did; hoping to get a good buy on the Super A. The tractor ended up selling for $2,650 plus a 10% buyers commission and sales tax. Right around $3,000.00 total. I did manage to pick up the planter, seed hopper in perfect shape, both cultivator arms with plow extensions and several plows and cultivator shanks for less than $100.00. So, I don't suppose it was a total loss after all. I know a lot of you guys wouldn't think too much about having an auction in snow, but for us deep south guys, it was a new experience.
