Another B UPDATE

Well ....... when we drive 80 miles one way and pull an empty trailer home you know that B was ROUGH 😔. Motor, transmission, steering,final drives--stuck. Manifold, air breather,rims,tires, floor pan,grill--rotten. Hood was butchered. We did buy the good parts. Distributor, governor, carburetor,seat assembly, one fender, draw bar, & gas tank ( surprise it's CLEAN). Paid almost as much for those parts as he wanted for the whole thing. But ,we can't stand hauling the rest off for scrap 😢. Better it stays there. He did say there was a family friend who would stick it in a flower bed for yard art....... maybe best. The other tractor was another B. But what a strange mess. Someone has rigged a pump and hydraulics on it. And a belly blade. 1000 lbs of scrap metal to rig it 😀😱. Seat moved to the middle,one pedal moved to left side??? It's definitely a B....Motor turns. Good sheet metal , nothing beat up or rusted out. He wants $450. But it was buried behind tons of junk. I told him to dig it out and we would come back. There was hundreds of tires on rims, some with 4 inch thick trees growing up through them. Truth be told,the trailer wasn't empty, Barbie was riding in her bug 😔

Kevin, y'all should have gotten the bush Hog mower too, as it is quite a rare and a very well built machine. The local MF dealer sold a couple of them around here and I worked on the transmission of one of them they are built like the proverbial "tank".
