Some may say, "Big Deal", but not me! Your family story hits home with a lot of folks who have family tractors, but, again, not me. I can, however, relate to the feeling and the expression (probably amazement) on my face the first time that "B East" fired up. I don't have a family tractor, but I bought one "just like Dad's first tractor" and restored it some 12 to 13 years ago. I call it the "B East" (could be pronounced "Beast") because I live on the east coast of Florida.

It is a 1941 John Deere B, and I had to have it because it was like the one I grew up on. I found out, about three years ago, that Dad's tractor was a 1943 model. Heck, how could I remember all those details that the collectors and "correct police" are so nit-picky on? It's mine, and it takes me back to the "good old days" when I was a kid.

Come to think of it, those "good old days" are a lot more fun now than they were then, aren't they?

Enjoy that Super M...I drove one once, for maybe a day, and it beat the heck out of our '49 John Deere 'A'.

Good luck,

Stan
