B with Hand Brakes

A seller in Indiana has what he calls a 1938 B with electric start, but the starter is missing. Does the picture indicate it should have a starter? Does not run. I can see the hand brake levers. Is it hard to convert one with hand brakes to foot brakes? Thanks.

I know, I know. I said I wasn't buying anything until spring...

Should have. It would go in front of that lighter orange with the hole just under the gas tank. The nose goes in that bubble just behind the oil filter. I doubt it's hard to convert. I bet it takes very little more $$$ to find one with foot brakes and starter. You'd probably have $100ish in the starter and brake parts.

That's definitely an early one with those cast front wheels. You might want to check and see if there's a generator, and/or generator mounting bosses/bracket on the left side of the engine. Maybe look in and see if it has a ring gear. I could wonder if different color gas tank/torque housing means this is assembled from different tractors.
 
I'd leave the hand brakes on the tractor they stop the tractor much better than the foot brakes will stop it.As far as electric start no way to tell,if the torque tube was replaced at some point it still may have the flywheel without a toothed ring gear.Also since you can't see the other side of the tractor it may or may not have a generator or might not have the holes tapped in the block for the generator mount.
