Of course when I wanna put pics up the computer has to play dumb but met a guy today who has a B and he was wondering acouple things, it has spoked front wheels, a rear view morror that says Allis Chalmers and fenders that seem to cover the tires. He thinks its a aircraft plane that pulled them during wartime but im not sure. Any ideas? Also has front weights that mount on the axel, would they be orgional?
Thanks
Taylor

Steel wheel B on rubber, w cut down fronts.
The weights maybe original, the mirror, not.....

The wide fenders were used on the steel wheeled tractors and the spokes on the front were steel wheels that were cut down and a rim welded for rubber tires. The front weight was an option, but I don't think the mirror was original. The serial # will probably put it at about 1943- 45. Bob

Year sounds right. After WWII we usually put new wheels on front but if you did it right you could use the spokes.
Good Luck!
