My son found the pictures of my customized B with the seat, steering wheel, and pedals moved forward.

That looks neat! Have a photo of the rear showing the 3pt setup? 
Makes me think of what an "unstyled" D10 would look like. Lol

I like it !  Fenders look good. I'd Like to see some more pictures.

Started with a 500 hundred pile junk .Tractor was togather.Fenders were rusted off at bottom,hood been shot through,grill all bent up,every thing else in bad shape.Had every piece apart except tran and diff.Radiator was good.Retired and needed a project and 2300 dollars  and a year and half later it looked different.Later made cult.All my ideas and all my work  no thing from anyone else except i thought of D 10. NOT FOR SALE

Dang, that was a lot of hand fabrication. Looks good.

That's a great update to a 'B'.

I think a similarily customized 'CA' would be more of an 'unstyled' D-10 / D-12.

Re longer wheelbase, 6 bolt rears, 4 speed trans, hydraulic pump, etc.

Nice work!
I assume you also built those cultivators?
Much easier to deal with when installing and removing than the original style I would say.

If you worked up some build plans for the cultivator set up on your B I'm pretty sure a bunch a guys would pay for a copy. I know I would be interested as not to have to reinvent the wheel. You have already done the hard part and that is build a working model.
 
Good Looking Rig

Great Job on My Favorite!!
A lot of modifications that made it a lot better tractor.
My Uncle would not like the seat though.  He loved to have the dog ride with him on his C.  Upgraded to a CA and really disliked the seat.  Dog had to walk.
Again, OUTSTANDING JOB!  Excellent modifications.
Thanks for taking such good care of my favorite.
Good Luck!

Had you thought about building a set of fenders for the cultivator? Not being critical. A great looking job.

I am wfmurray's son. I found a few more photos of his customized B. I'll post more later today, but here's a couple to start.

More pictures!  Doing a conversion like this is a fun exercise in problem solving...
Please show us how you did :
Seat relocation
Pedal linkages
PTO linkage
Steering shaft shortening/relocation,
That groovie 3 point (is it closer to the rear tire ground contact point?  if so, it has greater lift capacity before needing weight on the nose!)
Fabulous Fabrication of Fenders, and nice toolbox!

Ten Amendments, Ten Commandments, and one Golden Rule solve most every problem. Citrus hand-cleaner with Pumice does the rest.

My father will have to answer your questions about how the customization was done. He's not very fast typing, but I'll be visiting him on Friday. Maybe I can do his typing for him then if he wants to give some details about everything he did to this tractor.

I'm a purist, but WOW!! That is one awesome B! Love the quality fabrication work! The 3pt hitch setup looks like it could be factory! Everything is just fabulous! It's a shame you're so far away...I'd love to see it at Hutch, and I'm sure most others would as well!

If I had a CA with those same modifications, I might just ditch the 8N...
