As you all know I am always DELIGHTED to see another B being kept. I was pleased to sell the B for the life of the unit. Course I was only 4 when they first came out. It really opened a lot of doors for us. Always the imaginative salesman my father had them on small farms, small estates, golf courses, light industrial work, and any other application that he could fit it in. You will find it to be a very dependable, easy to maintain, easy to work on, powerful for it's size and in it's day state of the art. The fact that it is your GRANDFATHER's Tractor makes it even more valuable. Be sure to keep it. Let us know how it goes. Good Luck! Bill Long

I see it has a hole in the grill housing for the shutter control but I don't know if they all had that or not. The tractor needed shutters to keep it running hot enough to burn kero. It could be that the fuel tank was replaced at one point with the two tank one if the original one went bad. As for whether to repaint it or not, that is up to you. A little (ok, a lot) of pressure washing will make it a whole different machine, maybe in a few years you will decide to give it a new coat. Congrats on keeping another B in the family!

Over the weekend I got the ol’ girl fired up and pulled up by my garage door. I got the generator off of it to have it repaired. My uncle told me it had started smoking some years ago and they just pulled the wires off of it and taped them up.
What I found was rather comical. The generator belt is too long. The genny was swung out past the slot in the adjusting strap. But it’s bolt was in place and was clamped on the outside edge of the adjuster.
I am going to replace the belt when I get the genny back. What size belt do I need?
