First of all, thanks to everyone who had a suggestion on the gas tank.
Now for a bigger quandry.
A few months ago I bought B for parts. In doing some research on S/N, I discovered that originally it was a BN, but had been altered.
Anyone know how to put it back like it used to be?
I got the engine loose, and ended up not taking anything off it-at least nothing that can't easily be replaced.
Can you find the narrow axles, or can the long ones be cut down?
Are there any other differences?

The B only came with the tricycle style front axle. I gather yours has a wide front. You can't cut the wide front axle down and make a tricycle out of it. Your best bet is to find a salvage yard and locate a B front bolster and pedestal. If someone put an A front on your tractor, then the steering gear and steering shafts will be wrong too, so you'll have to get all that from the salvage yard too. Note that A Farmall C steering gear is similar to the B, but will not work on the B. The steering shaft comes out on the opposite side.

I think he meant rear axles. A BN has shorter rear axles than a B.

The left axle is much longer than the A's, the right side might be the same.

I think you can replace the axles with A axles, even though there are some minor differences. I don't recall right now what the differences are, I could probably tell you if I was at home. The platform floor is different, but there again you could use the A parts.
