Hello from snowy Indiana we had 3-4" on Saturday and not ready for it.
I am looking for information on Farmall B's as my dad bought my 14 year old son his first restoration project. I have restored a Farmall h that my grandfather bought new in 1941.

Re: Hello new to this site
Without any specific questions being asked I can't say anything other than search the forums and just read older topics in the Farmall B, BN section. (Located here: viewforum.php?f=177)
Tractordata is a good place to start for basic values on the tractor. (http://www.tractordata.com/farm-tractor ... all-b.html)
I'm sure others will chime in about service manuals and the sort.
Best advice is to just keep asking questions.

Re: Hello new to this site
There is a subforum dedicated to the B and BN.
In a nutshell the B and BN were kind of unique in that they are a "two row" tractor with an offset operator's platform. Meaning, they can straddle two rows of corn for cultivating, where an A can only straddle one row of corn.
The difference between a B and a BN is 8 inches of width. You can tell one from the other by the gap (B) or lack of gap (BN) between the right seat bracket and the right fender. A B was designed for wide rows 40-48", while the BN was for narrow rows 32-40".
IMHO the offset operator's platform did not make sense on the B and BN, because while it offered very good visibility of the row on the right side, it offered absolutely no visibility of the row on the left side of the tractor.
They make a good tractor to learn basic mechanics on, but they have no hydraulics and implements are hard to find for them, so their usefulness as farm equipment is pretty limited.
