Hi Bryan, Congratulations on getting a B. The term "restoration" means different things to different people. For example, I'm not a purist when it comes to doing work on my 1942B. It's not important to me to make it "exactly like it came from the factory". Mine's a working B. I tend to make modifications to it whenever I think it is in my own best interest. In any event, you might wish to browse my web page which is, more or less, about my own B. I think that one of the first things on your priority list should be to obtain three manuals: Operators, Parts and Service. As Steve says, you can get those from this site. You may also hear reference to an I&T shop manual. That's nice to have also but it's really no substitute for the three above which are basically reprints of actual AC-B publications. Best that you define for yourself what you want to wind up with in the end and just jump in and start. That way, you can ask more specific questions as they arise. You are apt to get better responses if your questions are fairly specific. Lots of Bs out there. Parts are relatively easy to obtain. They were a very popular model, particularly during the '40s. A great way for the subsistence farmer to economically transition from the horse to mechanical power. That's what my Dad did and where my B came from.  Rod
