Sure wish it was closer to me. Anyone have one like that in Northern Middle Tennessee.

Johnny, what exactly are you looking for? A real early B, or any B? I've spotted a few B's in area. My permanent house is near Dover (Bumpus Mills actually), but right now I spend most of my time away from my family in a small apartment in NY. I am always keeping an eye on B's in the area, and I'll be glad to help you find one.

I looked at this tractor a year or 2 ago. Needs alot to be correct. Has car rims on front, with holes drilled through the cast to bolt them on. Has wrong fender supports, NO brakes, the way he talked then it was not adjustment, they needed replaced. Very poor paint with no primer, sed. bowl had a leak and ate the paint, bare metal underneath. I think there were other issues but don't remember for sure. I will say it only took 2-3 cranks to start after sitting all winter and ran good. He wanted $1800 at the time and wouldn't take less.

Ken and Gary in TX can tell you what it takes to treat one of these early B's right.

Ryan, I've just always liked the B's with the wishbone front end. We have 5 WD-45's, a D-15 series II and 2 G's. I'm not looking for one to use, just a basic tractor. I would like to have an early model. I live in the east of Clarksville, near the Montgomery-Robertson county line.
