Brought this disassembled late B home in 3 pickup trucks and 3 trailers in the fall of 2013. Finally finished it a week ago. It's not restored - it's refurbished. Still has some dings, dents, abrasions and contusions, but it is parade pretty and runs great. Thanks for all the advise from the members here during the last year!

Looks very nice. I am working on a 720. At least I hauled it home on one trailer. Tons and tons of work I know. You did a great job and have something to be proud of. Who cares what everyone might say. It is your tractor. I hope you find time to put the fenders back on. LOL Again great job.
 
Looks nice! I've got a '49 B that ended up costing me more than if I'd bought an "Expo Quality" B. But I'm way prouder of this one since I did all my own work including my first paint job.

Now, if I was just done with my '49G and my son's GM! (What was I thinking???)
 
Nice, Nice, Nice!! The people on here that have restored or refurbished tractors understand how much work and expense you put into this tractor. Others will never understand the work you did.

Great job, my hats off to you.

Moon Dogs is the title of a baseball team in Mankato, MN. Does that mean from your handle that you may live in the Mankato area?
 
'Moondoggie' was a handle bestowed on me by army buddies so long ago I don't remember the reason. I'm sure it was done affectionately, though!
 
Well I must ask since NO ONE else did??

Where are the fenders?? In Pa. we don't see all
that many fenders & I see them in your photos.
But I don't see them on that FINE looking
tractor?
 
Fenders are in ICU. One needs to be cleaned and painted. The other needs some plastic surgery. Apparently, judging by the tire condition and rust on the remainder of the tractor, one side was exposed to the elements for quite a while.
 

Nice lookin' little B Good job. Now you need a No.44 plow, JBA Disk, mounted cultivators, a flat rack on a 953 running gear, No. 9 mower, etc. etc. etc.....!!!
