Old tractors in the brush have become almost a thing of the past now. Between the tractor collectors and the junk metal guys, just about all of them have disappeared in the last few years. Those old John Deeres are in pretty rough shape and I am sure you will have more money in them than they are worth, however, I think all the easy restores are about gone now atleast from my area. I think I would just forget the B unless you really don't care about money and want a project. The G would be my choice and those are factory fenders on it. The rust holes in the hood can be patched with Bondo and smoothed to the point that once the tractor is repainted nobody but you will know. What I am most concerned about is how many years water had ran down into the motor before the pipe disappeared for the exhaust stack? you might have a busted block.
Worse case scenario is the tractor cannot be saved and with scrap prices where they are at, you could recover money by just hauling it to the scrapyard without even going through the hassle of removing any parts for Ebay.
If you do end up going with that tractor, my first reccomendation would be to get a torch set because you are going to need them to get all those badly rusted bolts out, and be prepared for many of them to snap off. No doubt about it, either one of those tractors is going to be a huge project and will cost way more than the tractor is worth.
