Not mine... But a nice running B with 3pt for $900, including a finish mower.

Guys, I think that is a C with a B front end under it. Look at the steering bellcrank. It is on top, going down to the front axle. Rear end looks pretty wide for a B too. Has the dished rear hubs.

Dream, it also has the notch in the rad shroud for the C, but is that a B adjustable arched front end? A better picture would help. And with the steering gear that way do you have to turn left to go right? LOL

They must have switched something around down at the front axle to make it steer right..

Charlie, I tried saving it and zooming in on it, but the resolution is so bad, I can't make it out. Looks like a standard wishbone frontend to me.

Not sure about the steering. Seems like it would be backward to me. I know the B and C steering boxes were opposite. One right-handed, the other left-handed.

I have a C with a B adjustable wide front. It doesn't steer backwards if you leave the steering arm pointing up. It's very easy to steer.

it is a C tractor with a B front axle. Like Thad said, the C arm points up, leave it that way and the steering is fine. If you put the arm down like the B, then things are backward since the boxes are opposiite INSIDE. Nice mower.. probalby easily worth $900 with that deck.

Like them all, but love the "B"s.
