I owned a 1941 handstart John Deere B, serial # 117506. Worked on it, made it run good. Sold it in 1983. Still have a snapshot of it taken in '83 with the purchaser's name and phone number. A couple years ago I was talking to a buddy of mine from high school who helped me work on it.He still lives in the state (MN) called him up, he gave him the number of the guy he sold it to, the guy had sold it to his son, and gave my bud his number. My friend talked to the guy, explained who he was and why he was calling and got his number for me. He has never been home, answered the phone when I have called. I have left many polite messages on his answering machine in the last three years. I have sent him an envelope with pictures of me at 15 years old on this tractor. I have when on vacation driven by the adress, nobody was home, I did not get out of the car and trespass. But I can not understand why this guy won't give me the courtesey of returning my calls, even to say "Don't ever call me again!!!" Anyway his name is Jeff Barber and he lives in Little Falls, MN. All I wanted to let him know is that I would like to look at the tractor again, and if he is interested in selling it I would pay him more than it was worth for sentimental reasons. So folks on this board- if you know this guy, or if you ARE this guy, please just give me a few minutes of your time OK?
