1940 B refurbished

[Sam Duck]

This is a 1940 John Deere B that I refurbished. It took a great deal of cleaning, welding and fabricating, and parts replacement. I got it from a friend after he passed away. It sat for many years in his barn where the rodents had lots of parties. The time and effort that it took to get it running and painted was well worth it when viewing the end results. Pictures of the before and after included.

Hi,
Yes the levers are for the 2-way plow that was on the tractor that I haven't gotten cleaned up yet.
I will keep the exhaust. The piece on the manifold was there and I found the front piece and put on to keep any sparks pointed out the door rather than into the cobwebs and etc into the low overhead when trying to get it started originally.
Thanks for the kind comments, Sam
