[AJD] late B

[Dean VP]

Ron:

It's a 1952 model year tractor. 1952 model year tractors started at serial #
293030 according to JR's Letter Series Book. May have been manufactured in
late 1951 however. I like the late model letter series with the single shift
lever. Parts are fairly inexpensive and easy to find. You might get lucky
and get her loose w/o having to re-bore. Check the pressed steel frame for
non-factory welds.

Subject: [AJD] late B

I am looking at a stuck late B.  Roll-o-matic, powr-trol, cast rear 
centers, decent tin with the usual hack job at the stack.  Parked outside 
in the fence row for years.  The exhaust pipe is rusted out and there is no 
cover over the air stack so I fear she is a really stuck old girl.  I will 
probably buy it if we can agree on the "right" price.  My question is: What 
year production is serial number 297912?  I am thinking it is a 1951 but I 
have no information that says so.

Thanks for any help.
