Re: Opinions of Farmall C's
I really enjoy my Super C. I did nearly a full redo on mine. It's a heavier tractor obviously, but keep in mind, the cub parts you lifted with ease will be heavier on a C. You'll need a good hoist and strong cribbing to lift and support it. It has a good cushy ride, easy steering, and good power.

Re: Opinions of Farmall C's
In the Nebraska tests, the A rated engine speed was 1400 RPM while the C rated engine speed was 1650 RPM. I do not know if there are any internal engine differences, such as camshaft. The C did pull a heavier load than did the A. This is not unexpected as the larger diameter tires of the C place a larger footprint on the surface below and reduce slippage. Based on observations locally during the time these tractors were new, sales volume of the A was much greater than those of the C. So availability of used parts and implements specifically for the tractor will be much greater for the A than for the C.

Re: Opinions of Farmall C's
I believe overall the C outsold the Super A at about any point in time. But the C was replaced by the Super C in '51, so the total for all years was greater for the Super A. The total of C and Super C is more than Super A plus Super A1. Sales in various local areas varied greatly.
The C had a different governor spring than the Super A. I don't think there were any other noteworthy engine differences. The C had a pressure cooling system and optionally a water pump.

Re: Opinions of Farmall C's
When I was growing up we had a Super C at my Father's parents farm. Every year I used that tractor to cut hay and also other odd jobs. We had quite a bit of equipment but this one was always my favorite. Years later the place was sold and Dad bought a lot of the stuff we had, but the Super C went to an Aunt. If I had the room for one right now I would have one. It was just so much fun to drive and use. Maybe I will keep my eyes out for one anyway.

Re: Opinions of Farmall C's
What kind of road speed did they have? Equivalent to the Super A or closer to an H?

Re: Opinions of Farmall C's
This area was predominately tobacco farms in years past, so the A was very popular. The Super C had speeds of 2 3/8, 3 3/4, 5, and 10 1/4 mph. The Super A was probably very similar in speeds.

If you end up needing a road trip, come down to Oconomowoc Mike and I'll show you the "C" series, up close and personal. (one of my favorite Farmall series)
'50 C Demo unrestored
'53 Super C w/ Fast Hitch
'55 200 (styled like 55-56 Cub with stainless emblems/multi-bar grill) w/ Fast Hitch
'57 230 (Like the 57-58 Cub with a white multi-bar grill) w/ Fast Hitch
I agree with Boss's statement as the Fast Hitch makes a Super C, 200 or 230 about the handiest tractor a guy can own!

Courtesy of TractorData, Super A had speeds of 2.3, 3.6, 4.8 and 10.0.

Dang it, Mike . If I stumble onto one (no, I'm not looking) it will be all your fault, sir.
