small farmer: Actually I don't think I want to trade, as I am shopping for one of each A and 100 to go with the three I already have. I can understand the nostalgic aspects of this, especially with the 130. The first tractor I ever drove was a W4 pulling wagon and loose hayloader, then in 49 a Farmall Cub raking hay. My dad then bought an 51-H, 55-300 and 58-130. I really don't have any nostalgia for the W4 or the Cub. On the other three yes. I guess there is good reason for that, hayloader wasn't very exciting work and Cub wouldn't pull the rake in 3rd and 2nd was too slow. So maybe it is just because I was a bit older on the H, 300 and 130, thus got to do more exciting things like plowing, disking, baling and the 130 was truly a dream to mow and rake with.

A 100 or a 130 shouldn't be hard to find, if you are in tobacco country. One thing I notice and can't really understand this one. A nice Super A or 140 with the 06 type grill will command a much better price in the market than a 100, 130 or 140 with the old type grill, yet the first two I listed are far more plentiful.

There are a couple of guys right now trying to get $3,000. to $4,500. out of real nice 100s. They have been trying for several months. They may as well drop to $2,500. as that is where market is. Strange but if it were a SA it would go $3,500. and 140 with 06 grill would go the $4,500.
