My John Deere B is S/N 138090. What year is it?
So this is one list a found for the mid production Bs.
1941 96000
1942 118721
1943 136315
1944 149219
1945 167700
1946 179788
1947 191303
So, if you go off this one the first 1943 B was S/N 136315. But wait. Here is another list.
1941 96000
1942 126345
1943 143420
1944 152862
1945 173179
1946 183673
1947 199744
If you look at this one the fist 1943 model is S/N 143420. So now what? Well, My next step was to look to the Two-Cylinder club. They say the first 1943 b is S/N 136315. But my official research document done by them says my tractor was built August 19, 1942. As far as I can determine, S/N 136315 is the first B for the 1943 model year, while S/N 143420 is the first B actually built in 1943. I've always gone off the model year number, but it is a little confusing to say my 1943 B was built in 1942. What are your opinions? What year do I consider it?

Today's Featured Article - A Belt Pulley? Really Doing Something? - by Chris Pratt. Belt Pulleys! Most of us conjure up a picture of a massive thresher with a wide belt lazily arching to a tractor 35 feet away throwing a cloud of dust, straw and grain, and while nostalgic, not too practical a method of using our tractors. While this may have been the bread and butter of the belt work in the past (since this is what made the money on many farms), the smaller tasks may have been and still can be its real claim to fame. The thresher would bring in the harvest (and income) once a y
