Having trouble finding alot of info on this model. Anyone have anything about it?

Well it is British, built in Bradford , Yorkshire I believe between 1956 and 1961. ( The "B" in it's name stands for Britain) The engine was The 30 HP 4 cylinder diesel model BD-144 that was also used in B275, 276, 354, 2300A Industrials As Well As The TD-5 Crawler and 500 Crawler. Unlike a Fergy 35 it won't have draught control because when the B.250 was built M-F still held the patent for that, but as a straight pulling tractor one in good condition will definitely out- pull a Fergy 35!(The B.250 had a very strong engine ) It will also have the glowpug start which can be a pain in very cold winters.
The Operators Manual and Service Manual for this tractor are still available in The UK from a very good website which I can thoroughly recommend.

I have one, very economical to operate,have a manual as well. B250's sold in Canada mostly and B275's sold in the states. I used mine to rake hay and run the elevator because of its economy.Some of the later B tractors had similair parts. A tractor wrecker near me has a couple of them parted out and I have got some things from him. If you can't find a manual as the other poster has indicated let me know(I have mailed mine to someone who photocopied it and mailed it back..still cheaper than the cost of a new one)
