What's the best spark plugs to put in my B ? Back in the old days we used Champion J-11. Also, any good places I can buy parts that I don't see on this site ?

Thanks
 
tractor did not come with a key switch. What does it do, just turn the power on to the distributor or does it crank the motor ? Toggle switch might work.. Key at farm store for garden tractor also.
 
From the factory it did not have a key switch but who knows what has been done since. Bet some one put on a universal key switch at some point in time so your better off replacing it then trying to find a new key since it is not and never was factory in the first place
 
i have a few engine parts. try Munford Tractor in Munford, Al. this is a true "bone yard". thought i had phone number, but cant find it. front row along hwy. is nothing but old a/c. d. coleman
 
Two positions, on and off. A toggle switch will work, there's one on it now. I just want to get it back like it's suppose to be.
 
The hell it didn't. My dad bought a new B in 1952 and that sucker had a key switch. You still had to pull the rod to make the starter work.

Funny I have had at least 7 of the C/Bs and most did not have a key switch on them and the ones that did had the auto parts store universal type on them and I have been around them for 30 plus years. Ya maybe the later ones had them but the older one did not. I have 2 1946 ones now and both have switches on them but not a key type. Oh by the way no reason to cuss
 
Most Bs came from the factory equipped with a magneto and they had a push/pull switch labeled "mag" or "magneto".
I believe the later B tractors that came from the factory with a distributer were equipped with a key switch.
I don"t believe the C ever had a factory distributer and even the early CAs had a magneto with the push/pull switch and only the later CAs with distributers had a key switch.
 
Thanks for clearing that up. This one came from the factory with the distributor. The man that owned it bought it new. Not sure of the model. Does anyone know what years these tractors were sold black market with the serial numbers chopped off ?
 
Serial numbers chopped off??? The number is or should be just forward of the shifter. Can be hard to see at times but should be there unless maybe at some point in time the transmission case was replaced which did happen at times due to some sort of problem
 
old, I know there was some black market B's sold back in the '40's, they chopped off the serial numbers. My dad said it was a war era thing. Wish I had asked more questions. All the people and dealers I know that bought or sold B's are gone. Been searching on google for more info about this but so far no luck.
