B vs BN

Charlie M · Jul 16, 2012

Was a B tractor an offset tractor. I know the BN was as my Dad used to have one. I've never seen a B.

B is the same except each axle housing is 4" longer than the BN. Of course the shafts must be 4" longer too, now that I think of it.

If you"ve seen a BN, you"ve seen a B. They are almost identical, with the exception that the rear tread width is 8" greater on the B (and the asociated wider drawbar & floor pan).
The quick way to tell the difference is to look at the seat right-hand seat support. If it is flush to the inside of the fender, it is a BN, if there is a space (4"), it is a B.

Yep off set as your sitting on the right hand side of the engine. The B is very wide in the tail end and as others have said the BN is a narrowed down B

Offset as in the engine and trans set to the left, NO. the driver's station is offset to the right, but the tractor is as centered as a C. Jim
