The BM and BMD were built in the 1949 to 1953 period. The Super BMD was built in the 1954 to 1958 period and the B450 was built in the 1959 to 1970 period. The Super BWD 6 was also built in this timeframe. The B450 was built in both the rowcrop (Farmall Super M style) and standard tread (Super W6 type)versions. The B450 row crop was imported into the US Gulf Coast states in the 1962 to 1965 period. Oviously they were a little cold blooded and were ok in these states. People who have them now in the northern states have told me that if you have two good capacity 12 volt batteries in parallel and if the glow plug system is ok it will start in cold weather. They also told me the solution is a good tank type block heater and they will start anytime with it. This is no different from my experience with a B414 diesel and Farmall 460 diesel. My Farmall 560 diesel was easier to start and could be started in the winter without a block heater on most days. The B614 was built in the 1963 to 1966 period also and the Richards family of Stouffville, Ontario have one. It apparently was an engineering test tractor at Hamilton Works and they have restored it and had it at Paris, Ontario Red Power show yesterday. Finally there was the 634 and it was built from 1967 to 1970. They were all descendents from the Farmall M and W6
