Pricing on a 1947 Long Hood John Deere B

[bakerg]

I have a 1947 Long Hood John Deere B that I am looking to sell and was wondering what it is worth. At least I think it is a 1947, there is conflicting data on if it is a 1947 or 1946. It needs some TLC as it turns over but has no spark. Needs tires and a good clean up but I think all the parts are there. George white tag is stamped 1946 but serial # makes it a 1947. Has a pan seat so it would be an early 1947. Here are a few pics.

Mag had no spark so I set up a little test stand to help me find the problem. Cleaned every thing up, new plugs, points and condenser and got a real good spark now.

Got a chance to pressure wash dirt and grease off of tractor.





And after almost 30 years of sitting in storage, the old B is poppin again.

Well I was just browsing down and got to the Post #4 & 5 thinking - "Well he's got it running so that's gonna be a keeper. No way would I sell that."
and Boom! It's gone. How could you bear to part with it?

Wish I could have kept it but I moved to town about 3 years ago and there is nowhere to store it. It has been in my friend's barn for 3 years and I had to get it out of his way. The tractor went to a good home and it is close to me so I can visit it anytime I want.:thumbsup:
