Anybody have any pictures of a B orchard tractor.  I think it might be something interesting to have in the collection.  I've heard they have rolled back finals like an IB with the IB type front axle but did they have orchard tins on them or standard fenders.  What about tire type and size? Thanks for the info.

I don't think there was ever an orchard 'B' produced in West Allis. In Ontario we have what we call LOW B's. The story is that a dealer in London Ontario converted a standard B using an IB front axle and rotated the final drives etc for orchard work. They are vertially the same as an IB except for the standard longer torque tube.

The orchard B is in the sasquatch of the AC tractors.

Pat. That's as home made as it gets but he did a nice job. 1 of 0. There we none built in the factory because they thought at a model 'BO' would stink. LOL

As has been said already, the Orchard B was an after market conversion, not factory made. They're almost identical to the model IB except with the standard length torque tube and steering column. Here is a couple of photos that I have saved from the forum.

I believe Dave Everett has one of the English Orchard conversions.
Good judgment comes from experience. Experience comes from bad judgment.
From listening comes wisdom and from speaking comes repentance.
Wise men learn more from fools than fools from the wise.
