Are these wheels correct? I plan to buy.

B I found on CL. You think this was in a fire? Or was it submerged in water for years?

1941 C w/ 3-point "Maggie"
1947 C SFW w/ L306 "Trixie"

Don't know about the wheels. Bs were available with optional steel wheels, especially during the war...but I don't know if they are correct. Honestly, I don't see much there that I would use.

1951 B

!t's a 1940 model from the serial number. The steel rear wheel, hydraulic lift and the McCormick Deering sickle mower should be worth something more than scrap.

1970 190XT, 1973 200, 1962 D-19 Diesel, 1979 7010, 1957 WD45, 1950 WD, 1961 D17, Speed Patrol, D14, All crop 66 big bin, 180 diesel, 1970 170 diesel, FP80 forklift. Gleaner A

Well Creston, this one is close..... LOL

Yes, you could repair the manifold, but I think I'd allow it to go to the iron pile. (Pssssst DO NOT TELL LES)
I don't know what steel wheels are going for, but those look good as well as other things on it. I'd guess it's stuck tighter than a drum? Tranny and rear end have to be almost full of water......I don't think I'd give em more than $200 for it.

salt air tractor... to close to an ocean... engine might be fine inside if it had a roof over it...
It would require a lot of sand blasting on the outside for sure and a bunch of other things like radiator hood fuel tank fenders side panels etc... IF the inside was good. LOL

He who says there is no evil has already deceived himself
The truth is the truth, sugar coated or not. Trawler II says, "Remember that."

If you want the steel wheels offer $100 or ask how much he will pay you to haul it off.

Just an old country boy saved by the grace of God.

Those extensions on the rear wheels are extremely rare and valuable.

Most problems can be solved with the proper application of high explosives.

You all know how much I LOVE the B. This one is questionable. It would be a challenging restore at best. All of the above is correct as far as what needs to be done.

This is what we called a "half breed". During WWII many of the tractors we got were this type. Steel rear, rubber front. Yes, there are extensions on the rear wheels and they have some value. We had a pair of extensions that stayed with us after the war. Someone found them and I cannot tell you how many offers we had on them. Even then. I never did find out what happened. I was in college and the Army and basically spent four years away from home. When I came home they were gone. I do know they have value. The rest is a money pit.

Good Luck!

Someone save it for the steel wheels and extensions, if for nothing else!

Any idea how much these wheels are worth? Not $500 for sure. Someone tell me what you think they are worth and I may contact the guy to get the tractor for them.

Well, the guy said he would go as low as $300. Are these wheels worth that? I can use the block too. My recently acquired B has a block that's been repaired with epoxy. I think this block may be okay. You never know. He told me it was on a fish camp for years when he acquired the property. I know people lean both ways with the value of this thing, but I'm going to go get it on Saturday. Hopefully those rear wheels are worth the effort and expense.

I'd say so! Good job!

There's plenty of good parts on that...front axle, oil pan, final drive housings, torque tube, rockshaft, rear wheel centers, fan, drawbar, steering drag link, seat frame, PTO guard (usually missing), etc... Those things don't usually need replaced, but I'm sure someone could use something off it.

If no one needs the driveshaft in the torque tube and the splines are all good, you could cut it off short and use it to align your clutch on the flywheel when you do re-assembly on your rebuilds! I wish I had something like that when I did mine. It was just an eyeballing game. My 8N clutch kit came with an alignment tool, fortunately.

If it was a horse, we would call it " rode HARD and put away WET " !!

Like them all, but love the "B"s.

hasn't been in a fire, but it sure had a lot of bad style weather do it to it! prolly one that sat by the ocean?

Can't add much to what has already been posted except that the rear wheel centers are for rubber tires . A B on steel rear centers have 4 notches and are twice as thick.

One more bit of B trivia. The closeup pic of the engine block Casting # shows the ending number to be -11. A BE block for sure cast in 1939. Look for the BE engine serial number stamped into a small flat spot at the back of the block. No place to bolt a Genny brecket to the block either.

Spent its whole life as a hand cranked B. Most all 40 Bs had electric start'

Steve

Wife and I agree to sell all my B/C non assembled Tractor parts including 2 running engines at current scrap price at whatever it is when it leaves the farm . Bring a big trailer
