I can only read 1 number on the serial number plate, looks like an 8.How else can I determine the year It has no battery box or any other electrics, it is a 6 speed, looks to me like a pressed steel frame, it also has the two fuel tanks and valving. Would any pictures be a help
Will wrote on Saturday, January 16, 2010 (PST):Hi Gordon, The steering wheel was just another means of attachment on the flywheel to hand start the tractor. I have one and it is an UNSTYLED B tractor and by the way, I am in North Louisiana too. There was a good many of these made. Thanks, Will
Gordon Donahoe wrote on Tuesday, December 29, 2009 (PST):My dad and his brother had an old B, I beleive about a 49 model. I have never seen another like it in that its distinguishing mark was an open flywheel. If the starter failed, which it often did they always removed the steering wheel from the steering column and attached it to the opening in the fly-wheel, thus giving them a circular wheel by which to crank the tractor. When it cranked, they would remove the steering wheel, remount it to the column and take off. Any info. about production numbers of this model and any other info would be helpful. This was in North Louisiana.I have never seen another B like it and would like to know. There couldn t have been many build like this.

I’m learning as this is my first tractor and would like to restore it to near original condition. The tractor runs great except for one problem…one wheel needs to be replaced. I am looking for a pressed steel wheel with rim. I have a 9-hole wheel that is 10-inches wide for a 10-38 tire. It has the hand holds in it which I’d prefer, but I’d also take the solid style AND if I can find a wheel, tube and tire as a unit in good condition, so much the better. I’m located in Wisconsin and am willing to travel some to pick it up. If you have what I’m looking for or know of somebody who does, please email me with information. Thanks.

I spent countless hours driving that sweethart cultivating, cutting hay, plowing,disking and combining with a John Deere 12A with LUC engine. That tcactor sure proved then atage that Nothing Runs like a Deere. When I have a bad day I go home and hug my Deere FIRST.

It has worked it's entire life on our place and still proudly pulls a hayrake every summer. It now has several newer model stablemates, but was the only tractor we had from 1948-1965. Four generations of our family have used the B and the 5th will be soon.

Bruce Marshall wrote on Thursday, August 09, 2001 (PDT):John Deere B, Brings back memories. Safety is the one that stands out the most. In 1957 running in 6 gear, throttle wide open, I decided to turn into the hay field. Well let me tell you, when the rear inside wheel decided to lift from the ground I knew it was time to get off the tractor!! HOW??!! Never had to leave in a hurry before and all I saw was the big rear tires beside me. Had to jump over them somehow. I released the steering wheel, grabed the side rails of the seat and stood up ready to leave the tractor. t That by the way had now traveled well over 100ft on two wheels. Lucky for me, by releasing the steering wheel it alowed the tractor to counter steer just enough for it to gently set back down on all wheels, throttle still running wide open , and still in 6th gear and with me frozen to the seat staring straight ahead. For a 13 year old farm boy that was a very good lesson. So... I guess my point is..Don't do That!

I started the tractor not one reveloution of the back wheel I heard him holler I turned and looked and he was standing there with no pants on just his belt, I had four inch bolts through the universals instead of what should have been there and the caught ahold of his pant cuff, nothing left off his pants he asked me to go up to the house and get him another pair. when I got up to the house there were a couple of buddies looking for him, I told them that he was sitting down behind the barn and to go down and see him. The pants were wound right around the power take off. It never happened again needless to say. Has anyone else done any stupid things with their old johnny?
Paul Kenerson wrote on Sunday, April 15, 2001 (PDT):Subject ; Safty I have a 1950 J D B that ran away on me once, I had started it from standing on the ground. some of the gas,had run down into the crankcase while being idle. The tractor was in reverse with the clutch disengaged. as soon as the tractor started there was an explosion, in the crankcase that ingaged the clutch and the tractor took off with me after it. It blew the clutch cover 100 feet from the tractor. Luckly no one was standing behind the tractor this happened within seconds. Always have the tractor in neutral with the clutch back and the breaks locked. Before 1950 it was common for these old tractors to accumalate particles in the fuel system and hold the needle on the float up and dump the fuel into the crank case causing trouble.

Terry wrote on Monday, October 09, 2000 (PDT):The "B" is a very good tractor for a couple of reasons. They are very forgiving of bad tractor mechanics. It is hard not to make them run once they are running. They are simple to figure out. This part turns that part which turns that other part. Tons of new and used parts available. They stimulate the economy because the parts, new and used cost so much. Many variations, wide, narrow, no hydraulics, some hydraulics, lots of hydraulics. The lumber people don't particularly like them because they really do not need to be sheltered. Cover the exhaust, optional, and leave them outside. Still runs like a top. Don't get me wrong, I like the B, have a couple myself. I can't seem to get everything working exactly right at the same time everyday. Always some gremlin around.

Ronald Roth wrote on Tuesday, August 15, 2000 (PDT):The first farm tractor that I learned on was a 1940 Model"A" with a wide front end, pet-cock compression release on each piston and flywheel start. It had a faster reverse than 3rd gear-high range and I used to dead-head from field to field in reverse. Lots of power and also used it to run a hammer-mill for grinding cattle feed. The tractor was built to last and would probably still be running today if taken care of. I would like to know if anyone could guess a price for one of these if it would be in decent shape.

The tractor also had a 2 row cultivator on it. I think you have to use part of the cultivator to mount the planter and fertilizer attatchments on the tractor. Any help will be appreciated.

The Hi-Lo gear shift lever wants to jump out so I will need to tear apart the trans to fix. It has been a fine tractor and always starts as it is a hand crank. It is one of the best tractors John Deere ever made.

Ray Peterson wrote on Thursday, January 06, 2000 (PST):This looks a lot like the 47 B that my dad bought new after the war. I was particularly interested with the pressed steel wheels, which were not common on B's that I have seen. Our wheels were mounted backward to this (dish in), and ours had a two wheel front end.

Dean Englund wrote on Sunday, December 12, 1999 (PST):I think the tractor in the pict.is 1950 or newer because of the two small holes opposite each other on the cast part of the rear wheel.I have never seen that type on 49 or older.I could be wrong though.I have a 49-B ser.#238731 that I have restored not the 3-wheeler type.Two of my friends have the B threewheeler not to uncommon.I was down in N.E.Iowa last spring and most of all the tractors I seen there were 3-wheelers dont know why?Im from east central Minn.This is a great site to visit on the computer,thanks Dean

Norm Fast wrote on Saturday, August 21, 1999 (PDT):I have owned my 1941 "B" (hand start) for about 8 years and love it! I added a 3 point hitch adaptor to it and use it primarily for a blade and a rotary cutter. It is a sweet tractor and easy to operate. Here in Colorado it is great for snow plowing because of the weight concentration on the rear tires and great differential braking capability. I'm thinking of obtaining some tire chains to make the tractor even more effective in snow.
