Want John Deere BO/BR Info

Posted by LeRoy Price on July 27, 1999 at 09:04:05 from (192.4.230.254):

Found and considering a John Deere BO however I'm
not familiar with this model and looking for some
answers to a few questions. The tractor's SN is
337231 which I believe makes it a 1947 model. Its
decent shape, overhauled, hsa a PTO and electric
start. I'm looking for answers to the following:

1) Are parts available? I'm assuming most parts
are also used on the regular B but are the parts
that are unique to the BR/BO that would be tough
to find?

2) I noticed some oil leaking on the ground uder
the rear. Is this a normal issue?

3) What are things to look for that could be hidden
problems?

4) There are 4 strips of metal mounted on the fenders
in the operators compartment (2 on each side). These
strips are rusted through but not rusted through the
fender. Can replacements be found or is there another
repair method that can be used?

5) I noticed that in the rear the fenders in spots
do not atach to the bracket across the back of the
tractor. Are the fenders suppose to that bracket
so no gaps are showing?

6) It needs hardware from the gas bowl to the carb.
Are these parts available?

7) what is the going price for one of these (I live
in the east)?

Any info will be appreciated.
