Sweet. That is what my minds eye expects to see when I hear "restored".

very nice. adjustable front, bolted rear wheels, muffler under hood--- all add a lot. i like that. Rear lift looks different (taller) than mine.. maybe just the angle of the photo ? ------------- Like them all, but love the "B"s. |

Steve, The lift is not in the full down position. There is an adjustable collar on the cylinder that limits the travel. My Dad used this tractor with a tobacco setter on it and that's the lowest he wanted it to go. I restored this tractor to as close to orginal as possible but I did leave some things on it the way Dad wanted it. He's been gone since 2002.

So many times the B is called "pretty".
What better place than a cover for a pretty little thing like that?
Absolutely beautiful!

You know if I did not really know it is 6/26/10 I could swear it was 1943.
Great Picture.
I do remember a picture on the Cover of Farm Journal which showed a C with a AC PTO rake.
Congratulations!!
Good Luck!
