j hancock Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 Probably is a B72 with the hard nose. B70 had a soft nose. B72 had a soft nose early on and then had a hard nose.Time to check the number on the frame or Dave I. could let us know. 2 Quote JimIt doesn't cost anything to pay attention.

Maddog13407 Posted October 6, 2015 Author Share Posted October 6, 2015 wonder why it had a 40 gallon tank on pass side if it was a gas job? I highly doubt anyone would repower a diesel with a gas job but ya never know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daveigou Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 It is a B72. There were two floating around at one time, I don't know what happened to the other. I believe they came out of Lukens Steel in Coatesville, they were just used in the mill, then a junk man around New Holland got them. Unfortunately they seemed to have really lived a hard life. Probably were low miles, I never heard either one of them run. 2 Quote See my Flickr photostream page http://www.flickr.com/photos/96692978@N05/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maddog13407 Posted October 7, 2015 Author Share Posted October 7, 2015 thanks. I never looked at the driver side Paul. I should have, looks like it has the B model emblem on the hood! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigdogtrucker Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 That's pretty cool, interesting it has the higher flow air cleaner too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maddog13407 Posted October 11, 2015 Author Share Posted October 11, 2015 you could get that turbo air cleaner on any B model, even some gasjob B42's had them. I have never seen a 70 series with the bigger radiator with anything but the turbo air cleaner 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
