Really early B

[amtrac]

Ain't she pretty?!! Isn't this a historical tractor? Hope somebody keeps it in it's work clothes. Just too nice to restore. Not my tractor, but hope somebody worthy of it gets her.
131st B

Nice but not worth that kind of money IMO.

Mud scrapers on the front. Also has the early style Firestones on it too.

Tractor had already been restored.

But if you think about it to fix one up any more the cost ends up high and a lot of guys don't know how to do a lot of it. Buy the time a guy buys tires fixs any motor or trans work then body work then paint. Some guys like to buy them done all up.

I thought ?35 was the first year though it would make sense that some could have been built near the end of ?34. Also, I have never seen a first year production B that had a spark plug wire loom that attached to the frame. Mine stops about 6 inches above the frame. Guess I have more to learn about my ?35!

I own my grand fathers 1935 JD B I even have the original owners manual that came wit hit when new. 9405 is its serial number

9405 was built 8-14-35 and shipped to Kansas City, Mo.

I knew it was shipped to KC and ten i went to south KS where it was sold. The it went back to a dealer in 1940 and that is when my grand father got it. If the engine has ever been rebuilt it would have been doe while my grand father had it. The thing still runs but it smokes a lot

Looks to me like some later parts got put on. Shouldn't the shutter should be a curtain type and what's going on with that seat spring? Spark plug wire shields are from a styled B maybe? I Like the original silk screen on the hood sides.

The parts catalog shows both shutters and curtains were available from ser# 1000 to 34951.

The ad says it was "built" in 1934. Model year 1935 started on July 1, 1934 and ended on 30 June 1935.

The op says it's the 131st B, actually it's the 132nd.

I goofed, senior moment.

Model year 1935 started on Nov. 1, 1934 and ended on Oct. 31, 1935.

I bought this tractor. I have several 1935 Bs but this is by far the best running of them all. Needs new paint but mechanically very good shape.
