[AT] Farmall tractor

[HaliganBar at aol.com]

I have seen a B and an A with the different sized rear wheel weights. I was 
told that is was because of the offset operators seat. I guess the Farmall 
engineers accounted for the mass of us FATG's....;-)

<< Cecil,
 
 It sounds like Lucille is on our side!!!  See... I new you did right by
 buying her the Cub.
 
 The BN is an 8" narrower version (I think that's why the N) of a Farmall B.
 They originally had narrow front ends, but sometimes people installed A
 front axles on them.  I have no idea why, but it was fairly common.  It made
 more sense than the equally common putting a B narrow front on an A to make
 a lop-sided tractor.
 
 Now here's another B question... I just received pictures of a B that is for
 sale.  It has rear weights.  The weight on the driver's side is much
 thinner.  I was never aware of the different weights.  Anyone?
 
 BTW... the B has a woods belly mower and looks very good for the money.
 ($1500)  Straight and ready for paint.  It's near Portland, IN.  It would
 fit well in your new trailer.  :-)  I have the guy's phone number.
