[AJD] Interesting pair of B's on eBay - front wheels? Third B made?

[Dean VP]

Check out eBay auctions:

7561917703 - 1939 Hand Start B Serial # 60002 & 
7561905570 - 1940 Slant Dash B Serial # B86479

The 39 B may be the third styled B made. Original flat spoke wheels. Three
piece front wheels that look a bit like JD H wheels but H front wheels are
not three pieces. Anyone recognize what wheels these are?  They don't show
up in the 1940 or 1943 JD Repair Catalogs for the B. Aftermarket? Looks like
this one may go for an interesting price. 

The 1940 Slant Dash B is interesting too.  Called out as 1941 but according
to the serial number it is a 1940. Three piece battery covers are different
than the 1941 B tractors with electric start and light but are available in
reproduction form. Starter, starter bracket and dash look fairly complete
except for the starter button and magnetic switch. Have yet to see an
original that still has these. 


A really interesting pair of original JD B's. Good thing they are over 2500
miles away.
