Thank you for the info. I have a wartime B and hope someday to find a wartime c to go with it. They would be a great pair together.

Does anyone have or have a picture for a military Built Army B? I’ve come across the Army 1942 TM several times and would be interested in finding or building and military B... what yeas were they built? Features etc... the TM says they were pained OD with blue drab marking.

I’m assuming the Military M2 AC-B was just an OD painted civilian B. When you read the page 1 of TM 9-782 printed June 12, 1942 it refers to a change iwith figure 6. “Rescinded and the following substitutes therefor:” the figure diagram shows handbrakes on the ‘42 TM. Looks like the correction was of the December 30, 1942 TM. Paragraph 68, a. & c. (Page 54) reference painting the B lusterless olive-drab with blue-drab stenciling (no white because they can be photographed from the air). I have a ‘39 B-19111 that I was considering painting Olive drab, has hand and added foot brakes. Would be nice to see a military (styled) B around.

I have seen that before. I think one of my brothers has an aluminum fender for a B or C sitting in his shed. I do know that he watched an Aluminum All Crop sell at an auction but you had to buy this enormous pile of scrap iron to get it. He figured it would take more than a week for the scrappers to cut up all the several huge piles of scrap up so he didn't ask the scrapper about selling that combine. Two days later he and I went back and saw nearly everything was cleaned up and gone. I sure wanted to slap him that day.

I had a very good neighbor that told me that Henry Ford was on one of the U.S. war committees that controlled the manufacture and sale/distribution of farm equipment. Thus Ford manufactured more than other companies.

I bought a "parts" wartime B several years ago. The valve cover and oil pan were cast iron on mine.
I sold the (extended) fenders and tall air breather. I still have the four cutout wheel centers, valve cover and a bunch of other parts if anyone needs them.
Does anyone have any idea what is a fair price for the centers and valve cover?

What does a tall air breather have to do with war time?  More dust from the steel wheels so gets it up higher??
