I saw this photo on the Dutch site that Johan posted, and I wanted to share it here. I have pulled 2-12's with my C, but three bottoms is getting a bit ridiculous, even if they would be 8" David Bradley bottoms! Still a neat picture though!

That B has a bullet light up front and the crank is hanging on the right side of the tool box. Never seen that before.

| I'm pretty sure it's an English built tractor, given the European origin of the photo and the little oddities about the tractor. I'll bet it has power steering too, as long as the plow is raised! |

| I was going to ask about the crank hanging on the side, I've been looking for a place for mine. Those bullet lights must not have been very bright.... |

Yea Brett, if it had hand brakes you could drive it like a dozer when the plow was raised. It does have a different starter with a push button, or key start more than likely. The battery box is a little different and the mag may be different. I know when Studebakers were crated to be shipped to British Isles or Australia, they weren't sent with electrical components, because those things could be supplied by the country importing them and putting local people to work.

Not to add additional confusion, but attached is a picture of the dash of a British B with a Perkins diesel owned by Dean Byerly of Iowa. By the way, if you haven't met Dean and his wife Phyllis, they are great folks, and have a very nice tractor collection.
