Saved 2 from the scrap yard

[Mnethercutt]

Two more JDs added to the list of projects. Got them from a fella on FB Marketplace. Been sitting under a shelter for 10 yrs and 25 yrs. The one that's still green is a 48 B and the other is a 49 A. Most of the parts are there but the A is locked solid and the B has a stuck, possibly bent valve. Fella was gonna send them to the scrap yard and I couldnt bear to let that happen. $400 each so hopefully I at least got a decent deal...

Nice save. All it takes is money and time. Good luck with your projects.

My $ 400.00 1950 JD A. It was also stuck. Before and after.

Even if they don't pan out it is still nice that the opportunity came up to buy them.

Update 1 year later. Got both running.

I'm not a hoarder but deep down, I like saving stuff. Good news.

Both late styled then with the good seat. Great to hear them running! Those take a 3 point setup pretty well too especially that A if you want to play around with it.

My favorite tractors, the late-styled A & B.
