Son was plowing a field that had been pretty much in cultivation for the last 50 or so years. Found this wrench sticking up from the furrow last week. There's more to the story: My dad got a brand new JD B in 1947 when he got home from the Navy after WWII. As a kid growing up with that tractor, I know that the factory supplied wrench was missing, and we used a hardware store version until tractor was sold in the early '70s. (Still have that wrench.) So since this wrench is a dead ringer for the factory wrench, it is fair to assume it's the missing factory wrench off'n dad's tractor, lost for over 50 years. We're displaying it on the wheel of a '49 JD B that belonged to wife's uncle, and was recently restored by my son - grandson of origional '47 B owner.
