Antique International / Farmall Tractor: Farmall B
[Farmall B Parts] [Return to the Shed]

This tractor is very much like the Farmall A, except the engine is in the middle instead of offset to the left. The seat and steering is still offset to the right (like the Model A). All Model B's were "narrow front" with either a single or duel wheel.

The Town has been offered a donation of a 1939 or 1940 Farmall B which has been restored. The tractor originally belonged to a family that farmed in our county and having it as part of the Town s Hostetler Auto Museum would be very complimentary because of its history. Our problem is determining a serial number which I understand is on a small metal plate mounted on the seat upright. It is no longer legible. There is also a number stamped on the transmission case near the gear shift. This one reads 6823-D . Can it be used as a identification number in lieu of the missing serial number

About to start working on my B Farmall. This was my transportation when I was a kid. It�s a 47 (so am I) that my dad bought used in 55. It has the lift all, 2-row cultivator with rear sweeps and a frame mounted sickle bar mower, swinging draw bar, all laying in piles in the barn lot. Exhaust stack rotted off years ago and the engine is all froze up. For those interested Value Built can supply about any part for it (nothing is cheap) The engine has wet sleeves, new sleeves, pistons and rings are about $300 at value built. They carry nothing for the Exhaust driven lift. Does anyone know if parts are still available for it? Nebraska tests put it about 16 PTO hp and about 15 hp on the draw bar. No water pump on these tractors, most used thermo siphon to move water. I never knew it to overheat and we worked it hard pulling a 2-bottom plow. Check the oil with the 2 taps on the side of the oil pan. You must get oil out of the low tap, when you get oil out of the high tap the oil is full.

My girlfriends dad has one, or his dad had it and died and it sat in a field for 3 years, I trying to find out what type it is and how much parts are so I can quit looking at it sit and rust and put it back to work or looking all shinny. If you could help me out please do so. Lance, p.s. it looks like the model B. Could you also help me out with some overhaul kits, engine, trans, hydrolics. thanks screwball_cracker at yahoo.com

HAS wrote on Thursday, October 27, 2005 (PDT):

Found a regular B today - all growed up around it. I'd like to make the man a fair offer - Any advice on how much I should offer? It is not running, engine unknown. Only parts missig appear to be oil cap and exhaust pipe & muffler. Tires are up, but real weathered. Don't know if it's stuck or not.

Can anyone tell me how to read the SN# on an old Farmall tractor? Such as the year it was made. If it is an A or B. I think it is a Farmall A. It belonged to my step-dad and I had left home25 years befor I met him so don't know much about the tractor. I think it was made in 42 or 43. Thanks, GIL.

Ed in CA wrote on Sunday, April 17, 2005 (PDT):

Bob, the difference between a Farmall B and BN is this; The BN has a narrow back end, and the B has a wide back end. The BN has shorter rear axle housings than the B. I own a 1940 B and a 1941 BN. My dad owns a 1948 Super A aswell.
