Does anyone know who bought the B tonight in Grand Rapids Minn? Just curious as to what it brought, with the wrong engine and hood and radiator in it.

the B went to sumner (sp) IA, It brought $2900 . I wanted it to go to jacobson,but it was steeper than I would go. Lets hope he finds the parts to fix it up.It'll be a fun project.

I thought it would look nice in Baxter but it didn't work out.

thats allright lonnie, you've got a project now, Did you make it home with the RC, ok ? glenn, your buddy from ia probably didn't know yet that he had it because he had a phone in bid.

He will have a LOT of money in it when(if) he can find the RIGHT parts to complete it. I only paid $2,000.00 for mine, it was all there but in very rough condition. I now have over $5,000.00 in it not counting 100's of hours of mine and my brother-in-laws time.
If it has the serial # tag with it and it is #4 that is worth a lot and I think it is the earliest 1937 B known, mine is #18
If whoever bought it would like any advise or help give me a call.

Hey Bruce, I made it home fine. It was nice to meet you and Mark and to get a tour of your collection.

Glen, Do you have a record of the 37 B numbers? Someone said that they were cross referencing the engine numbers with the tractor numbers trying to figure out the ones with missing tags. If so here is my engine info. FCL1, No. 399826 date 11-1936. If you can shed some light on this I would really appreciate it. Thanks Rich

Well Glenn, Karen says yes it would probably be getting really cold around here before she would buy a tractor like that especially considering that I "already have 2 that look just like it sitting in the shed, so why would you need another one just like them" :-)
As point of info, it would be a C and a CA sitting in the shed.....
