I have a 46 long hood JD B. It has a nice paint job but now I have the engine tore down for overhaul. You can go to www.latc.us and go to the photo page and look at it before during and after paint. go to Doug Hallmark Sr album. While you are in the photo page and look at Skeet Cooper's album and see what happened to his B while loading. He did not get hurt.

I never looked to see if it had a three point hitch. I am in an antique tractor club and always looking for a photo of the week for my web site. That car was photo of the week one time. www.latc.us is the site if any of you want to visit.

This is a Hi Crop. Lol

Here is a good laugh if you need one. I got "B" bit yesterday. I was out in the yard close to the B and all of a sudden a tube in one of the back tires let go. Now it had been setting there for a week. If I had thought of my butt I would have loaded my huggies.

Then you have to count your eats and a room to wash your old butt and take a nap. We left here Friday afternoon and spent one night in a room and was back here Tuesday morning at five am. I am getting to old for that lol. We had fun going to get the old dog. We love to get old tractors too.

I think my friend spent around $1500 in fuel when we went to New York to get the B42. We had a thirty foot dual wheel tandom goose neck hauling both ways. Then the mountains eat up a lot of fuel too. The fuel filter stopped up on us and it was acting like the trans was going out. If it had been a standard we would have known what it was. After we changed the filter it was ok. Then the water pump started leaking on us. By the time we got home we had to stop every thirty minutes to fill up with water.

Here is the last truck that was out there with all the B's.

That is a 56 but not a Crown Vic. Someone put a 302 in it and painted the engine YELLOW. Oh well each his own I guess. That old Ih is the old truck we went to Sleepy Eye Mn and got for a case of beer. It has 15 thousand miles on it. He went on and put a valve job and new rings in it. It runs good. The old dog runs like crap but I had fun driving it to the little show anyway.

A shot from today at a local homecoming. 1936 IH ton and a half truck with the old B42 close by. The Farmall had to seperate them. Lol

No all I saw was the B's that I posted and the R. There was a B61 dump that looked like the one we have. It was in the Christmas parade he said. My friend that owns this B42 has talked to him about the one setting up on its back to get the engine to put in this 42. The old man said it would run. I don't know if they will make the deal or not. You know how some old people are about things they have like that.

Did you see the B behind the last one I posted? Here is an old IH.

Look what is near the one standing on her back.

The John Deere was in good shape and had a new engine. The old truck has a good body but the old engine runs bad and smokes. It may be a while before he does anything with it. The dump bed works good. That was the second trip we went off like that. A guy in MN gave him a 36 IH ton and a half truck for a case of beer. We found it when we went up there to get a set of scales for our tractor club. Yes we went back the next week with a case of beer. You can see pictures of it on the same photo album on the web site.

I am going to drive the old girl tomorrow to a local homecoming where our antique and tractor cub will have a small display.

He got it in North Lawrence. He is going to restore it but said the dump bed and gas engine had to go. He wants to use it to pull his gooseneck. We have an antique tractor club and haul tractors around to the shows. You can go to our web site and go to Bill Melders photp album on the photo page and see it loaded up on the trailer he is going to pull behind it. While you are there go to the photo of the week page and look at last weeks photo of the old B Mack. This picture will be taken off tomorrow night. I am the web master of this site. www.latc.us

Last October a friend and I went to up state NY. He traded a John Deere 520 for this B42. It has the 20 speed Quad. We brought it back to Olla,La. What a trip.

I like steam tractors, trains and all antique tractors. I don't know a lot about steam but like it. www.latc.us
