Yard Ornament - Farmall B

KerryM · Mar 29, 2012

After salvaging everything worth anything off of this B to supply the one I"m restoring, my plan was to head it towards the salvage yard. Engine is stuck, block is cracked, gears sound horrible. I made a joke to my wife about putting it out in the yard to put Christmas lights on. Damned if she didn"t think that was a good idea! So, I put it back together loosely, many pieces missing, but looks ok from the road. Cut some sod, put down some rock, and pushed it out there. Only thing missing is a mag, which I still have to assemble a junk one.
I took a drive to see Gene Bender yesterday, heck of a nice guy. He"s given me advice before, and supplied me with a couple things I needed. Many thanks to him!

very cool. Definately a more fitting retirement than the scrap furnace! good for you!

I would give it a good coating of WD-40 about every month or so so she don't rust all the way through. Looks very cool!!!!

I take it you live up in Iowa. Nice looking spot for its final resting place!

That looks great. And, someone has spent more than a few bucks keeping that farm house looking tip-top.

NICE! I like it.

How about putting a rotating "turn table" under it in the future sometime??? lol

KerryM · Mar 30, 2012

Haha...even Gene mentioned that. Thats beyond my capabilities. Maybe one of you can engineer me a turntable.

Thanks. That house wasn't even there 12 years ago. Only the barn and grain bin existed. But, thats another story.
