I was visiting my daughter in Michigan over the weekend and we stopped at the local orchard.   Spicer Orchard near Fenton.   They had a kids play area with farm stuff to do and lots of activities for the little ones.  A pretty popular tourist stop from the looks of it.

I was killing time and looking at the display of antique equipment, all green and red.  Then I happened to notice the wheels in their 'train ride' as it passed by.   Sure enough a little B all dressed up for Halloween.  Still working while the rest of  her peers were long ago retired...  I guess you would say it is an orchard B.

If anyone near there has little ones here is their website...  http://www.spicerorchards.com/

I wish I had noticed it earlier to get some better pics.  It looked like he had it rigged up to run from a platform behind the axle.  You can't see it in this pic but it has a faked axle in the center behind the real steer axle too.

Neat!  Rock Home Gardens at Arcola Il has two of them.  One uses a 66 series international (the one they still use) and the other (sitting as a play toy for kids to climb and sit on) is made from a WC allis.
