1937 unstyled B

[el60]

Can anyone send me a picture of the front pedestal and the frame of a 1937 unstyled B?

Here is one from a 1937 short frame B.

What determines if it is a short frame or a long frame. I also have a 1937, and the pedestal looks like this one. Thanks

The "Long Frame" Model B began with SN 42,200 in late (November) 1937. They were approximately 5 inches longer then the previous short frame models and the stretch allowed a set of cultivators that fit an A to now fit a B also. The first 2000 B's only had a 4 bolt mount pedestal while all after that used 8 bolts.

Bob,

The short frame B was manufactured until serial number 42199. It was a cast iron frame. The long frame was introduced so the B could use the A tractor implements. The long frames were angle iron frames. The pedestals were the same.

My serial number is 34670, so I guess I have a short frame B. Thanks guys, y'all are always so nice and helpful.

What are the 2 clamps that are around the pedestal for?

 

[Kurt_JDB]

I understand that the clamps are for attaching cultivators.
