Those are Canuck dollars. Doesn't that work out to $499 or something? For $18,000 I can buy a newfangled 20 HP tractor and mower.

update

The gut got back to me, says he has $23,000 invested in his B !!!! All engine parts were from AGRO....

I'm guessing he's not handy and had 100% of the labour farmed out ....

looking at the rear hubs, im not sure that it might be a "C" rear end... Cant tell from this view, but space between the seat and fender and tire spacing to the fender makes one wonder.
Like them all, but love the "B"s.

I remember the day 10 to 15 years ago when I bought Czech movies from someone in Vancouver and had to pay more in Americanski dollars then what the price listed for in Canuck dollars.

I would think this would be pretty obvious, but I don't think old tractors are the hobby for a guy who isn't handy...or at least willing to learn.  He must have a soft spot in his head for old A-Cs...in that regard, I understand.

When you restore an old tractor it should be pretty well understood that you do it for your own satisfaction. You hardly ever do it to make money or even break even. Unless the tractor is very rare there's not going to be any financial reward. The B is hardly a rare tractor. There were a jillion of them made. For that kind of money you could buy two fully restored G's with all implements. The G being a much rarer tractor. But good for him if someone gives him half the amount he is asking.

Those rear centers were commonly used with the adjustable fronts.
