 Topic: Model B on display at Lehman's
Posted: 22 Jul 2010 at 11:36am |
I was camping last week at Mohican State Park in Ohio and I made a visit to Lehman's in Kidron, OH. They had this Model B on display. Only problem was that it too high up to really see the details, but from what I could see, someone did a very nice job restoring it. Maybe it belongs to someone on this forum? If so, I'd love to hear more details about this B.

I haven't been there in several years but it sure is a fun place to spend a few hours wandering around. The food at the livestock auction across the street is great. I think it is only open on sale days. I's surprised the B isn't on steel.

I like that old stove on the right too. Got one like it that belonged to my great grandparents, but it's not anywhere near in as good shape.

Charlie, that is not a C torque tube. When the CA came out they added the bosses for cultivator brackets and the same tube was used on the late model B's from 51 or so on. C's never had the tapped holes there as far as I know. That B must be a late 52 or newer cause it has the late style air cleaner and would be correct to have the B decal also. Charlie

I ate at the small cafe in Lehman's. I didn't think it was very good. Should have went accrossed the street to the livestock aution for their food. It was busy on the day I was there, plenty of buggies.

I'll do some checking. It is probably Ethan Lehmans tractor. He has a bunch of old, neat tractors that he usually brings to our fair. Has a HUGE old Avery that neighbor did for him. I think that is the owners nephew. I eat over @ the sale barn when around for lunch, and buy my feed @ LE Sommers across the street. Just stay away on Thursdays...sale day and amish. Gerber poultry south of town has a good lunch menu also

That is a spitting image of the B we had to cultivate tomatoes when I was a kid. It had electric start, but had a generator and a 6 volt system. I spent a bunch of hours on that tractor.
