I don't have any pictures, but I do have a one bottom plow and a cultivator for mine. I use it to cultivate my sweet corn patch every year. Gives me an excuse to use it.

No action shots but I use mine to mow the trails and the edge of the driveway with a 5 foot belly mower.

I have a CA that gets to plow sometimes, disc the ground, blade the drive, run a 5' snap coupler bush hog, drag stuff around, plant rake and bale in the future. The CA is an out growth of the B and is just about as "Handy as a pocket on a shirt".

My 49 B sees little use other than a show once in a while. But after looking at some of the 3 pt hitch conversions on this site....I might put it back to doing a little work around the place .

I have a 3pt from oktractor on my B, I mostly use it to pull a woods 6ft finish mower, but also use the back blade with it. I had a video of me pulling a 2 bottom dearborn plow but somehow it got lost :\

I have a 39 B that currently has a Woods L59 mower on it. I plan to sell the mower as I have a L306 on a WD, and put the snap coupler setup I have for a B on it and use it to blade the road with a snap coupler blade. They are fun to use. Michael

RW, You are talking about my favorate.
As stated above the B is a most dependable unit. If necessary it is easy to work on and parts are readily available. If you can find a B with a mounted one bottom plow, a mounted cultivator, and hydrallics it will easily fill you needs.
That said remember the B was last made in 1957 which means that it does not have all the nicetities of the newer tractors. I would be certain to get one with a starter - after 1942 - and hydrallics. The implements are out there just take some time to find.
Hope this is some help.
Let me know what you do. I always like my favorates to have a good home.
Good Luck!
Bill Long

I cultivate 4 ac. tobacco with my b. Also have a farmall cub and super a. I use the super a to sidedess with don't have a sidedresser for the B. The cub gets a little workout in the garden. The allis B is stouter than either of the farmalls. It will pull the plow deeper and faster if needed. Just give routine mantaince and don't let it set too long between uses.

Grandpa and my dad had a 1937 B. They had a pull type plow a spring tooth drag and cultivators. Was a great garden tractor. Good vision for cultivating. Grandpa built a blade that mounted on the cultivator from between the wheels. Work great for grading yards and drives and light snow plowing.
Only bad point was no electric start. It had a bad mag and was a pain to start but ran great after it started.
