I've was dealing over the phone with a guy who wanted to trade a 1957 JD B with a factory loader for some guns. That got me wondering right away, cuz I knew they stopped production in '52. I pull my trailer 100 plus miles to look at it. Went up this road from hell to get to his place with my 28 ft gooseneck. He said the metal was good, had a wfe, and ran good. When I looked at it, it appeared to have a wfe from a JD A welded to the front of the tractor. The sheetmetal looked like it had rolled, the loader was a cobbled up New HOlland loader, and the tractor wasn't running, it looked like it had been sitting along time. I'm not even sure if the engine was free. Needless to say, we didn't make a deal, but with all the BS he gave me, I told him if he got it running, that I was SURE somebody would give him $2500 for it, cuz it was a JD. I'm sure he believed me
