[AT] John Deer B

[Dean Van Peursem]

Al,

Don't underestimate the value of that B. If it has an original and complete John Deere 3 pt hitch on
it (800 Series Hitch) the value might surprise you.

We have a very late "B" here by the tractor shelter.  It was my grandaddy's
tractor, it was his "big" tractor alongside the Super A. He got it used, it
was a bit rough when he got it but they used it a long time.  It originally
had a rollomatic but the pedistal broke sometime and they put a standard
tricycle back under it.  It has the square rear axle housing and somebody
put a JD three point hitch on it.  He parked it because the oil pressure
dropped and it locked.  It has set out and is basically a paperweight.  I
would like to restore it one day, but I think we would be money ahead to
just buy another running B.
