Steve in NJ has an IB for sale and I noticed some differences in the brake assembly compared to mine. What do I have here? I can tell you that I pretty sure mine is a very early one because it don't have the I in front of the B.

I have a photo of a 1939 "IB" that had a B serial number and it looks very familiar to yours. I think some of these prior to the war were quite different than the later units that actually had the "IB " serial numbers.
Like them all, but love the "B"s.

AJ, You have one of the pre-war IB's, the brakes were one of the several differences between those and the later IB's.  Both of your handles should be cast, so the one that's steel would have been fabricated.  They only built 260 of them (in three "batches"), and they are a lot harder to find than the post-war IB's.  Even the three batches had differences between them.  I can see yours is from either the 1940 or 1941 batch - I'd have to see more pictures to say for sure.  What's your serial number?

Anyone clue why someone would do this?

Ok, yours is from the 1940 production run, and the number is correct for the range.  As for the rear cover - I have no idea.  They must have adapted something to it, but I've never seen it before.

Pretty sure this has the wrong seat anyone know what it's off of? Is that hitch anything special or did someone mess up and weld on it?

Looks like someone welded chunks on the hitch when they took the pintle off.

That's a pretty interesting piece AJ. Probably ain't to many of them around! Never saw a real early IB like that one.  Cool!
