Hello all,
Thanks in large part to your encouragement, I just took delivery of my 1941 Farmall B.
There are larger versions of the pictures at: http://www.rossputin.com/tractor1.htm (the same link as at the end of this note)
I have a few quick questions for the experts:
1) How can I tell if it's a BN? On the serial number tag, the model says "B", but the serial number seems to start with "FABN" although the "N" is questionable as it's slightly fainter and has a mark across it that makes it look a little like an "X". I'll try to post a picture soon.
2) What oil should I use? Where I live it usually doesn't get above high 70's in the summer, it's typically 40's-60's in spring and fall, and winter can have 0 degree days though teens to twenties is more typical. I do plan to use it on occasion to plow snow in winter. Is there an oil I can put in that will work for all seasons, or should I expect to have to change oil between summer and winter? Also, should I follow the guidance to use "non-detergent" oil even though the tractor has an oil filter?
3) Any advice on coolant?
4) Should I add "lead substitute" to the unleaded gasoline?
I'm sure there will be more later, but thanks in advance for your thoughts and your encouragement!

Today's Featured Article - Experimental Tractors Article - by Danny Bowes (Dsl). Tractor technology appears to have nearly hit it's pinnacle of development. If you agreed with the subtitle, you are rather mistaken. Quite, actually. As a matter of fact, some of the technology experimented with over 40 years ago makes today's tractor technology seem absolutely stale by comparison. Experimentation, from the most complex assembly to the most simple and mundane component, is as an integral a part of any farm tractor's development
