Brad, You may want to give us more information. If it is a wide front, one row, tractor it would be a B 1940. Remember, on a B, the serial number is located above the gear shift lever. Also, the B is a three speed tractor with a wide front and relatively narrow rear. The mower is a box type frame that mounts on the tractor with the blade to the right in front of the rear wheel. A four foot sickle bar would be a custom cut sickle bar since the B came with the possibility of 5' or 6'. On some rare occasions a 7' sickle bar would be attached. Does it have a starter and lightsIf you can attach pictures it would be a great help.

Let us know.

Good Luck!

I was going by the info on the magneto, I'll check out the gearshift asap. Yes it has a 6 volt battery & a key & a guage of some type not sure yet. It has one headlite on the rightside of the tractor, & i'll also be looking for the serial no by the gear shift. Thanks alot It looks like it's in excellent condition & the mower on it now is the 6 ft one & in excellent condition as well. The older 4 ft mower is outside but in fairly good shape, the wood on the end of the mower is "kinda" needing replaced lol but all the iron is there & the guards look like new, not one dent, or buckle anywhere. all in all it's a damn nice little tractor, it's always been shed'ed & ran at least an hr or two every year
