Flywheel cover

[Dan2]

I have a John Deere B about 1945 or 46. The serial number starts with 19.....and thats all I can read. It has an electric starter on top of the flywheel at about the one o"clock position if you are looking at the flywheel. Is there a flywheel cover for this model? I can"t find any signs that there was ever a cover on it, but I"d like to cover it for safety reasons if I can. Any ideas on where I might find one?

Dan, there was a cover that covered the outside of the flywheel and ringear. Never one to cover the whole flywheel.

Ok, thanks. That helps. I think I know the kind you are talking about.

Dan,
I know a guy who has a flywheel cover that will work for the mid styled electric start John Deere B.
Let me know if you are intersted and I can get you the condition and a price.

Here is a pic of a B with a cover. I just found it in the photo section.

The thing bolts on at 2 points where the starter bolts on and then a third bolt where the frame bolts to the case.
