I believe this color picture was taken about 1968. The two story farmhouse I grew up in was now covered in insulbrick siding. Less to paint. You can hardly see it for the elm trees. I spent many a hour behind the wheel of this B when I was big enough to reach the clutch.

![]() Here is another oldie. The 39B working at the Aggen Farm in about 1946. My Grandparents Steffen and Edith gathering the field corn.
Sorry folks but I can't seem to get my resizer to work.

![]() I hope I'm not boring you all. I think this is a picture of Dad planting early sweetcorn with the new B. It looks like it still has a pretty good shine. This is dated spring of 47 or 48.

Thad. One thing I do not remember is cheap looking black vinyl seat covers on either B we had on our farm. I don't think there was such a thing as a black vinyl seat cover on any B or C when they were new. Heavy duty OD grey green cotton canvas duck cloth is what I remember.
In the last picture of the B pulling the corn planter I remember the strawberry patch you can see looking behind the planter. They wouldn't let us kids pick strawberries because we ate to many.

They must like John Deeres and were forced to sit on a AC. My Guess is the little Guy is Howard DeYoung and the little girl is his older sister.

When I was 5 or 6 a neighbor down the road from our place on Hinckley Ridge, Ohio bought a brand new B. We went to look at it being delivered. I remember the seat being kind of silver but it was canvas. This would have been in 1953 or '54.

I don't recall ever seeing the rear wheel/axle configuration like that on the "cry babies" B before.

You don't see many of these Splined adapter hubs anymore. I think one of the reasons is the hubs were machined from poor quality steel. I have about 8 of them and the splines are worn so bad they are unuseable.
I have been kicking around the idea of welding the adapter hubs to the axles and making them useable. If a flanged axle works in a B why won't a adapter hub welded to the splined axle stub work. From the seal back, both axles look the same. The nut inside is what holds the axle in.
If you ever get to Dales Museum in Paris IL there is a 38? B in his collection that has these 5 stud adapter hubs welded to the axles. No BIG nut and you can see the weld real good.

Thanks all for All the photos!!!!!! So great to see and especially the tractors at work! When you go to most tractor shows they are not at work...so THANKS. It brings back memories for me..even though the only allis we had on our farm was a B and then a D-10 to cultivate 20-25 Acres of tomatoes. We had JD, Farmall, Case, Massey tractors too.
