 Topic: B orchard/grove fenders
Posted: Yesterday at 10:10am |
Can anybody shed any light on these orchard fenders on a B???
They are certainly factory made specifically for a B, where they had jigs and it was a production item - has a perfect arc curvature/cut and bend to line up with the factory B fenders. All the brackets have a factory look to them and line up and bolt up cleanly. It is NOT generic ones somebody torched out and hung on a B.
What do we have here???

Those look like nice fenders. Never seen those either. B tractors could have worked in grapes or orchards? Regards, Chris and Cheryl

There was a supplier in Michigan who seemed to make orchard fenders for most manufacturers. The AC prices books show orchard fenders priced fob that plant.

Nothing is impossible if it is properly financed

That likely was Gladden-Haas Manufacturing of Owosso Michigan, somebody else mentioned last night on the phone.
Now just to try to find an old advertisement or sales book....

I saw Owosso MI listed as the fob point for orchard fenders in a D-17 price book. I haven't looked for any other model but I do have a 1940 price book.
