Nice Work Joseph

Why is there never time to do it right the first time, but always time to go back and fix it?

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!
