thanks Charlie, I would figure that scrap for this tractor would be not more than $300.00

I'm not a JD guy but I know enough to tell you if you can't buy it for scrap 
value, leave it in the hedge row.  Things to look for:  Check the price of a 
radiator,  make sure the fly wheel isn't cracked or loose on the shaft. 
Other than that they are pretty tough old machines.

Looking for information,

I am looking at a 1950's vintage JD-B, has been in a hedge-row for about 12 
years, rubber is inflated, gentleman selling it inflated them with air, 
can't tell me if the rears had any calcium in them - tractor belonged to his 
father. It will turn over using a "bar" but not running, no battery, has 
hole in radiatior, definatly a restore project.
Anyone out there who has done a "B" restoration that can give me some hints 
as to what to look for as pitfalls in this restoration?

Thanks,
Pharmr Bruce
