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.)

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.
