Original, one family owned tractor. Tractor was purchased by my Grandfather in 1942, just after the start of the war. Grandfather, father and uncle farmed with it in New Haven Michigan until the mid 1960’s then parked in a barn. Grandfather died in 1972, and my uncle moved it to another barn in 1992. It was rough, but all there. In 2008 my two young sons and I retrieved it and restored it as a family project. Four generations of family have loved this tractor.

CongratulationsTodd and family;
Restoring anything, like this tractor adds another chapter to its already long history. Doing this type of project bonds family and friends on a much deeper level and will hopefully be warmly remembered for many more generations to come.
Looks like a great restoration and wonderful project, congratulations!
And she’s a beauty. I have her younger sister, a 1952 B. I’d like to bring mine up to MI (from western PA) for tractor rides or shows in the near future. Maybe see you and the boys at one of those things in the future. God Bless.
