That is a big resto job. I'd have to really love that tractor to even think about it. Now, if you had a steam thresher in the woods........

At least I'm in good company then!
I love driving somewhere.. like say.. taking the wife out to eat.... and taking back streets " to save time ". And then passing a tractor and the wife will wait a few minutes.. and figure that I didn't see it... she'll start talking about it.. and I'll rattle off the make, model, year range.. and some of the options installed. To which she will reply.. 'Oh.. you've been by to look at it already'... Me, knowing that I havn't been by to see it.. but just knowing what it was from shape.. etc.. I smile and say yes. and keep driving.. and everyone stays happy.

I've not yet found anything which indicates the difference between a styled v. an unstyled JD. Perhaps, I've just never seen two versions of the same model side-by-side. Can anyone provide any assistance with this?

about the easiest way I can explain it is, the un-styled model the steer tower and radiator are fully expose and on a styled model they are covered by a grill. Probably not the best explaination but about a good as I can provide.

- JD LX288 and a B7800
Don't feel to bad. I learned a short while after I bought my house that it was supposed to include a '47 JD B series.
The sellers sold the tractor a week before closing.
Our seller's seller visited one day and asked after the tractor. Her father bought it new in 47 and asked that it be kept with the house.
The snotballs who sold it evidently enjoyed the 5000 someone paid for in Maine.
Anyone on TBN by a '47 JD B in or around Dec 2000 - Feb 2001 from a place in NY?
It want's to come home.

Soundguy, Well thank you for the compliment and sorry about your thunder, the next question is yours. I see on your profile you have a JD "B", what year, is it running, do you use it or admire it? I got a 1940 "B", got it from my uncle who had rebuilt most of the mechcanical stuff including the mag. it starts easier then a few of the electric starts around here. I use it some for dragging logs and hope to get is painted so I can enter founders day parades in the area. Steve

Many thanks to you both. I had even been through Wendel's Encyclopedia of A.F.T. and couldn't find that info. So far as I know, JD is the only manufacturer who used that designation. How accurate am I?

It is a '50' styled B, no fenders. It's restored/retired.. and I just look at it in the barn.. though I do take it out for a drive around the property or the neighborhood now and then... Mag was rebuilt a couple years ago.. and it starts amazingly easy for how slow that 6v starter spins over.
