I have had a Farmall 240 for a year now which I plan to refresh even though it is in fairly complete and decent shape at present. Like you, I think they have a nice appearance, fairly small to work with and very suitable for trailering to tractor or farm shows where they are very uncommon. There were only about 3500 of the Farmall row crop models produced and 3 to 4 times that number of the International Utility models made. There are a lot of common parts between the two along with some common to other models like the 404. These models being produced in low production numbers is probably the reason so few (if any) reproduction parts are made which are unique to the 240's. Some items you will find next to impossible to find are the battery cover, tachometer, fuel quantity gauge and the tank sending unit, both the hood and side panel emblems to name a few. Engine parts aren't a problem as the engine is very common to other model IHC tractors. The normal places which have inventories of obsolete parts from years ago production are all but cleaned out and rarely if ever can a 240 unique item be located. At last years RPRU in Albert Lea I had a fairly good shopping list of desired parts for my Farmall 240 and wasn't able to locate a single unique item. The 240 models don't really offer much (except appearance) of an improvement over the earlier models it replaces like the Super C, 200, and 230 as to a TA or IPTO except the introduction of a utility model in that size tractor. I think they are a nice appearing and useful tractor (mine has a fast hitch) but you are going to find locating needed parts is a very huge challenge. I wish you success if you decide to add one to your tractor shed and my email is open if you want any more specific information, Hal.
