1949 John Deere B

My name is Mearl Dally, I worked for a local Case IH dealer for 5 yrs, and local John Deere dealer for over 15 years total. I was a mechanic and a parts manager as well.
The tractor pictured is my 1949 John Deere model B. The John Deere was fully restored by me and my 81 year old father. I have a total of 6 tractors restored and runnning, they are all different brands. I love any and all tractors, brand doesn’t matter. I have grown up in a farming family and these old tractors are my life, they are my children you can say lol. I enjoy taking them to tractor shows all over my home state of Texas and I enjoy tractor pulls, shows, and tractor swap meets.
