I just picked up a running Farmall B. S/N FAB9153 suggests it's a 1940. $450 It has no starter, no gen, no bat, in fact the only wiring is to the kill switch from the mag. Did they make such a thing or has this one been stripped? I figure they did because there is no place to put the starter. I do see an xtra pulley for the Gen drive but see no mounts for the gen itself. Could someone give me a little info on the B and the versions and/or options available. I am totally new to Farmall.

Early A/B did not have a starter or place for one. Your second pulley on the fan hub indicates that the fan hub was replaced at some time with a later version. Your flywheel probably doesn't have a ring gear either.

You could get them bare. They crank start really easy when in tune, valves adjusted properly, ect. My '41 A could have starter ect added, but I found it is not cheap! It starts so easy with just the crank though, that it is not a big deal.

Some were crank start, but had a generator/lights setup.

I have a 44 that has an electric start and has been converted to 12 volt. B were made from 39-46 I believe, about 20 hp, none had hydraulics-manifold lifts. Same engine as an A actually same tractor as an A in many ways just designed different to be a "cultivision" There is also a BN-original id plate found on inside tractor support. Overall good little tractor
