How rare is wide front on a B?

Could someone point me to a website that would have this information. Thanks for the help.

To see a photo of a factory wide front, go to the YT Tractor Photos and do a search for "John Deere BWH". The one that belongs to Bob Gauntt gives you a good look at a factory unit (the 'anteater' design). I'm not saying the tractor you are looking at is a BWH, which is quite unique, but that photo gives you something to compare to the tractor you are looking at.

Would the serial number tag have BWH or just B? According to the photo you mentioned only 268 made over a number of years, so that would make the option more rare and probably would justify the price some....if it really is a BWH and not somebody trying to pawn it off as one.

I do not know if the tag will say 'BWH'. On my 1949 'BW', the tag does not say 'BW'. If the tractor has a factory wide front it might be either a 'BW' or 'BWH'. The 'BW' is not as scarce as the 'BWH', but certainly collectable still. The 'BWH' is a high-clearance tractor and would have longer rear axles and 40" (they might be 42", I can't say for sure) rear tires. Yes, you should take some photos and then share them on this board to get more assistance.

The factory wide front on a '41 Model B would be of the 'anteater' design with a round tube cast main axle housing.

It does not have a powr trol, is a '41 model. Hand start with Wico (don't know if I got spelling right) mag.

At least one brake is sticky, and whole tractor couldn't have ever seen a day inside after it left the factory. No major dents or tears in metal. Everything looks all original. Supposedly runs, but have not heard it yet nor have I talked to the owner.
