 Topic: Thanks for the help from a B owner
Posted: 05 Nov 2017 at 4:08pm |
Long time stalker and you folks have been a wonderful help. I bought this B from the original owner's family. It worked a small family tobacco farm here in NC. Looking forward to contributing the lessons I have learned along the way. - Brad

Oh Beck, you weren't that bad. Maybe a lurker, but that's the way most of us started, til' we got our nerve up. Most of the guys on here may not necessarily agree but they will try to build you up every time. Welcome to the misfits and everybody else.

Welcome! Great looking B! You and Hubnut are making me want to look for a B sometime. They are a great little tractor. (They think they are a big tractor, dont tell them!;))
You have done a super job on it. I like the alternator painted PO#1. it looks better. I like that idea. Good addition of the step to get on.
Regards,
Chris

Thanks for all of the kind and welcoming remarks. I bought it a little more than two years ago. It was rough but mechanically sound and the tin was straight. Lots and lots of new parts and hard work. My kids had a blast helping to fix her up. I wouldn't use the word restored, but a lot of time and money to make her almost right. - Brad

Brad,
I like how you think. Restored can get way out of hand and be debated! Your tractor looks very good! I call mine a good clean, repair and paint. My guess is your still way beyond what I end up with. Glad the kids and you had fun. You know we need to now see the before and during pictures too!
Regards,
Chris
