Model B Restoration

[Yudt06]

I am gearing up to restore my 1948 Model B. Im in need for a parts tractor as my 48 has different rear rims, the hood is beyond repair, the grill is beyond repair, and the sheet metal (tool boxing below the steering column is missing). Im seeing lots of parts tractors that predate mine and are electric start. I know the sheet metal below the steering column differs between a crank start and electric start, but is the rest of the tractor sheet metal the same (hood, grill, seat frame, rear rims et.)?

There two common hoods one when the muffler is below the hood (small hole) and one where the muffler is above the hood (larger hole).

If all you need is the sheet metal there are several of the tractor parts companies that sell reproduction parts including sheet metal.

I have a new reproduction B tool box. $50.00 plus shipping if you are interested. Email is open. Thanks Fritz
