Well the B didn't come out until 1935, and they made over 66,000 of them counting 1939. Not too bad for just one model of tractor IMO, and it was probably cheaper for them to make rather than having two different models that pretty much did the same thing, that never made much sense to me.

The new John Deere's are by far more common, mainly because all the other dealers died out.
