| Maybe not the filters specifically, but that is the only 5 pack box I ever seen. |

Seller says "box with 3 still remaining".

I think what you see at the shows is new filters painted with the decal on them. These are mint flat top filters with the box, vintage 1940's maybe? ------------- Matt Folkers FOLKERS RESTORATION Restoring vintage things to last so the future can enjoy our past. |

You know, I cannot tell you how many of these we sold. Course they don't make them any more and collectors love the box.
You know, I'm paying good money for things I threw away.
Good Luck!

I have old Wix, Fram, and Purolator filters for WD etc. in the original boxes of the soup can vintage. Actually Dad had them and gave me a few. I remember back in the 80's when I was a teenager I was with Dad when he went into the local hardware store and while there he asked if they had a filters for his C on hand. The guy, Darryl, said they didn't do much with filters anymore but he remembered seeing a box of really old ones in the back room. He came out with about 20 filters in a card board box they were going to throw out. Sold the whole box full to Dad for a buck. Of course Dad started using them up although I argued against it but I finally stopped him from using anymore after half were gone. I put the Wix one on my WD just for shows. If I ever get my old B up in shape it will get the Purolator. I'll take some pics sometime. ------------- -- --- .... .- -- -- .- -.. / .-- .- ... / .- / -- ..- .-. -.. . .-. .. -. --. / -.-. .... .. .-.. -.. / .-. .- .--. .. ... - Wink I am a Russian Bot |

Three things wish I could find for my 38-B. Flat top oil filter of any make. Two front single rib tires which they don't make anymore. And an original front weight setup for the arch axle. I realize they would be expensive but to find them is the challenge here in Texas. |

Flat top filters aren't as rare as some make them out to be. Just keep your eyes open. I got an original old 3 pack with box at a show a couple of years ago for under 10$ if I remember right. (sorry, not for sale) They can be found. As for single rib front tires, they make them. Miller tire has them here http://www.millertire.com/ - http://www.millertire.com/ click "front tractor" on left side 5.5 x 16 is the size for a B, right? Not cheep but there. Hope this helps! ------------- Jacob Swanson 1920 6-12; 1925,1926 20-35 longfenders; 1925,1926 15-25's; 1927,1929 20-35 shortfenders; C; B's; IB; WC's; WD; WD45 |

The B takes a 15 inch tire. Single rib not reproduced right now.
You got quite a find on the filters. The seller did not realize what they had.
