I see another White Demo Farmall popped up on Photo ads again. Yowza...that white paint sure is alot more expensive than red huh? $6000? For a straight C? I absoulutely love our Super C but c'mon. If and that is a BIG if you wanted someone to pay the extra $500 dollars that a documented White Demo MIGHT be worth, wouldn't you offer documentation...I mean at least post the serial number so we could verify that it was in that run of 1950 C's that the white ones were in?...and I think you would want to provide photos of the white paint you found under the layers of red?
...BECAUSE...a White Demo C is ABSOLUTELY NO different from a Red C other than paint...just like a brass tag John Deere is ABSOLUTELY NO different from an aluminum tagged one other than the material used for the serial number tag. Just like our Super M is a Louisville...it is ABSOLUTELY no different than a non Louisville other than the fact it was made in Louisville.
Do these things make them more interesting? Sure!
More valuable? I guess in some cases a tad bit more to some folks, but it sure doesn't make 'em pull a hundred feet further down the track, or an extra plow bottom. Caqn some body 'splain sensibly to me why a White C is worth aboout $3500 more than it's red twin? I understand the rarity of low production models: 330 Deere for instance...it is a DIFFERENT low production model. not just a differently painted or tagged version of a common as dirt model. I also understand that a guy can ask whatever he wants for what he has, and maybe some fool will buy it. I admit it's not really my business but I do find it insulting when it's done here!

Today's Featured Article - Third Brush Generators - by Chris Pratt. While I love straightening sheet metal, cleaning, and painting old tractors, I use every excuse to avoid working on the on the electrics. I find the whole process sheer mystery. I have picked up and attempted to read every auto and farm electrics book with no improvement in the situation. They all seem to start with a chapter entitled "Theory of Electricity". After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point ... [Read Article]
