While I"m home sick today, I started thinking about old tractors. I started thinking about what my mom has told me about my grandpa"s farm. He had a dairy farm in NE Iowa, between Plainfield and Nashua. If I remember right, he farmed around 360 acres, which is alot of land back in the 50s with just a Farmall Super M w/ TA and a Farmall B, and maybe a Farmall H. After he retired, he gave the Super M to my aunt, who sold it many years ago, The B was given to my other aunt, who when she got a divorce a few years back, made sure my cousin got it, not her ex. The B has been sitting in the same shed for at least 15 years. I started thinking how nice it would be to buy it from my cousin and restore it, in honor of my grandpa. The B hasn"t ran for many years. If my memory serves me right, everything is still there, tires were holding air, the metal was all rusted, but straight, no holes, dents, etc. How much might this tractor be worth, what would be a fair price to start at? My cousin and his brother tend to break things. Fortunetly, they aren"t into tractors, so the B has been spared, for now.... How many of you have a Farmall B, and what do you use it for? If I can get this tractor, I will use it for raking hay, maybe get a cultivator for it. How much does the B weigh? How about fuel usage? Any more thoughts/ opinions would be helpful.

Potatoes were grown for sale and oats were grown to be used for cattle and horse feeding. Up to about 1958 the dairy cows were fed hay with some turnips and after that grass silage was the main winter feed. That same year was the last in which flax was grown on the farm. Flax provided the fibre which w
