Tractor Story – 1945 Farmall B
1945 Farmall B owned and restored by Kenneth Marcum of Centralia, Missouri. My Dad bought this tractor new in 1945 – the year I was born. He used it to plant corn with a two row mounted corn planter. He also used it to mow and rake hay and haul it to the barn. It was also used to haul ear corn to the crib in the Fall. The second seat and steering wheel was added as a novelty. The tractor was painted by Becker Bros of Mexico, Missouri.
