B for sale at the Pate Swap Meet

Didn't see but a few tractor parts, one Ford 8N, and some "obsolete" tires from Wallace Wade.

There was one fella who had about 3 hit-n-miss engines there, and he also had an unrestored John Deere "B" for sale. The tag didn't say what year the tractor was.

The "B" was popping away over there, so I just had to go take a look. He had it priced at $3,450.00

Just out of curiousity (I'm not as familiar with J.D. tractors)- was that price good, bad, or O.K.? Thanks in advance.

There didn't appear to be anything rare or special about this 'B', although I'm not up on the various models and options for John Deere.

The tractor looked to be in original, unrestored condition- but it wasn't in the greatest shape in the world. The tin on the front grille was rough. There appeared to be small coolant leak, as well.

Seemed to have original rear tires on it, weather-checked, but holding air.

Thanks for your replies. I thought it was a high price- but I don't know anything about J.D. values. One of these days I'm going to look into getting old J.D. to keep my other tractor ('49 Case SC) company.
