Hi Jim, There are a number of "official" vintage implements for the B. They work well. Among them: Belly sickle mower
Cultivator
Moldboard plow (s)
Disc Harrows
Snow plow
Dump hay rake
Cordwood saw There is also a modern belly-mount finish mower available new. The design of the B was prior to the 3 pt hitch becoming the standard and many implements were of a proprietary AC design that sometimes took a considerable amount of time and effort to change; for example to change from my land plows to my belly sickle mower or vice versa, takes me an entire afternoon. The B was designed to function for the small family farmer of the '40s and was great for that purpose. Still is today for that matter...with the emphasis on small, of course :o). It is somewhat unfortunate, IMO, that many of the old implements wind up getting sold for scrap metal and the tractors wind up getting restored by collectors for shows. Nice tractors with nothing to do and fewer implements to do anything with. Lost to history for the most part, I guess. There are 3 pt aftermarket hitches available for the B but I think you should carefully consider what it is you want to accomplish before going that route. The low power and dependent nature of the PTO, together with marginal hydraulics (if it has hydraulics at all) can be somewhat limiting. There are many that have used the 3 pts on the B successfully though. I would personally consider a different tractor if I wanted to use a range of modern 3 pt implements. Rod
