My dad was a farmer for most of his life. He bought a used John Deere B (SN 55895) in 1942. It came with steel wheels which he upgraded to rubber after WWII. Dad retired in the mid 70's and sold all his farm equipment except for that JD B. He restored it back to new and used it many times for show to pull floats in local parades, etc. To this day, it runs like it did when we used it every day in the fields. He keeps it covered in an enclosed garage. Now Dad is 92 and has finally decided to sell some of his toys. I'm convinced that old "B" has some classic value but haven't got any idea where to start looking for advice. I stumbled on to this web site doing a Google search. Can some one on this forum give me any advice on how to properly put this tractor on the market and what it might be worth? Thanks for any help.

Good day sir,

I would have to second the notion of the fella under the handle "keep it". From what you've said, that old tractor has a nice history behind it and a lot of sentimental value. My grandpa was 92 when he passed away and all three of his tractors are still in the same barn where they were when he was alive. All three are still used intermittently on the farm too. Dad and I haven't restored 'em yet but would like to when the good Lord allows us to financially. I strongly recommend keepin the one you have. If he insists on selling it then make him an offer. Many folks have posted about such things and wished they'd never lost track of their family's tractor. God bless
