[AJD] late B

[Dean VP]

Ron:

Since you are a betting man, I'd like to collect on one of those beers the
first week of July.  I'm betting a beer that it was made in the 1951
calendar year, that it is a 1952 model year tractor and that it was made in
JD's 1952 model B production year and probably in JD's 1951 fiscal year and
that it is over 50 years old. :-)

I'll collect the beer(s) on the evening of July 2 since we are driving North
on I29 from Omaha that evening. My wife can drive the rest of the way to NW
Iowa.  :-)

Okay you guys.  Bill and Dean.
	Thanks for the info even if it is sort of conflicting.  I really
have no 
idea how to reply to two postings, but this is my attempt.

Bill, your serial breakdown shows this thing to be a '51, which I suspect 
it is.  Where did you get that serial information?  The only breakdown I 
have says it is a late styled model B.  Hell, I knew that from looking at 
it from the road.  I need to find a serial number listing for these things 
that I can use.

Dean, you are getting your info from JR's book.  Now, see, if I said JR is 
full of crap, his mother would probably throw something at me next time I 
waved at her.  Of course we don't have justices of the peace anymore so she 
can't put me in jail, I don't think.  Now maybe if I said he knows what he 
is talking about she will bake me a cherry pie.  Nah.  She would probably 
give me hell for having had too many beers in the past with JR's dad and 
throw something at me anyway.  (We used to have a few before his untimely 
passing.) <vbg> I'll bet this old B is a '51 production year tractor and is 
the same as a '52 model as the book says.

JR, you are probably reading this.  I suppose I'll have to buy your damned 
book, eh?  What I really want is a copy of the Little Giants.  By the time 
I bought a Dubuque Deere, the book was out of print.
