First, DON'T LET THAT GIRL GET AWAY!!! Finding girls that like tractors - especially B's - and has her own is not all that easy.
Second, I like both tractors. Even the pink B. The IB was used for snow plowing in some cold place since it already has the cab.
Congratulations to you both on your engagement!!
Let us know how it goes. Especially your wedding date.
Good Luck!
Bill Long

Yes. nobody wanted the pintle hitches. Bill Long used to throw them away, he told me at the GOTO in 2004. I had some NOS ones, but guess they are just more weight in the scrap trailer.

according to one of the books, this is the 4th IB ever made. most of them had some type of cab mounted on them for plowing city streets. There was a guy on here awhile ago that had pictures of the old IB's blowing city streets.

Uh oh! Another Pink Tractor. The Burgster has some competition now! Definately keepers the two of them! Congrat's on your engagement! The IB is pretty neat to! I like the cab/fenders combo. Still had to be chilly drivin' that thing in the cold weather!

steve, i don't think it was very chilly at all. When we picked it up it had rotten canvas or some type of heavy material that snapped around the hood and front half of the tractor funneling the heat from the motor back into the cab.
