1935 John Deere B Project

[scotd1]

Attached is a 1935 John Deere model B that I finished this summer. This was the first old tractor I have restored and it was a learning experience. It was quite a project and if I had known how much time/money/work was going to be involved I never would have started. I had to take it ALL the way down and replace every bearing, seal and completely rebuild the engine which had a cracked block. But it did turn out pretty good and I enjoy taking for a spin around the property every once in awhile and some local tractor shows.
I am now in the middle of rebuilding a 1959 John Deere 430W. I just got the motor rebuilt and will start on the paint and cosmetics this weekend.

This is the rear view. I made the wood step so I wouldn't have to step onto the axle and scratch the paint when getting off and on .

I don't have pics of the 430W that I am currently going thru but this is a pic of the 1959 JD 430S that I went thru earlier this year.
