Haha I got you! So I got the chance to look at a 1950 john Deere b with new rear tires. The only problem is that it needs a set of rings. I put a down payment on it so he can hold it for me. I am looking for any info regarding past experiences with a poppin Johnny letter series. His asking price is 1300$ for it is it worth it because i know the tires are worth 1000$ alone but I want a b so can anyone tell me there opinion whether pops had one back in the day or whether you have a letter series in the barn.

I redid a model A years ago. They're very simple tractors with fewer parts than most due to the two-cylinder horizontal motor which can be a plus. The B is the same size as a farmall H. Personally I hated the A hence selling it and getting a Farmall M. Weak points if I remember right was steering column wears and makes it hard to steer and the only way to fix is to take it apart and have machined (if I remember right). The motors by design are far more prone to seize up when sitting. Also parts are very high. I remember mine having a carburetor rusted some on the inside and a new one was $750 10+ years ago. Maybe aftermarket has remedied this some by now. The tractor was completely unorthodox to use with the hand clutch and the way it drove and almost impossible to farm with... and I still use a farmall H as the choice tractor for farming here so I don't dislike using old tractors in general. I really liked the look when I got it repainted and lived driving it but for some reason putting it to work just didn't jive with me. This was a john Deere A though so don't know how much that correlates and remember this is the opinion from an IH collector and user even though I enjoy other brands as well.
From the first Original to the last x82 Series... you can't beat an IH Cub Cadet!!!
Yeah thanks for the comment you know I have a 44' h myself and I use it for farming. But farming 80 acres is enough for that so I figured a b would help with the project. I've always had a hinkering a popper and I'm biting it guys. I traded that Ollie 77 that I have in so I got some money now and am gonna buy the b.
