[AT] Farmall B hydraulic

[Mike Sloane]

I believe when they went from the 113 to the 123 they added the water 
pump, thermostat, and a taller radiator, which required somewhat 
different sheet metal. Since there never was a "Super B", You would have 
to borrow the sheet metal from a Super A/C/100/200 series.
