Newbie member here, but have been lurking for some time. Recently retired, 50 years working on golf courses, so I've been around tractors and mowers most of my life.
Back in the 70's my father restored 2 B's one styled one unstyled, one had a sickle mower on it, and a AC WD. All hand start. The B's he had tuned so he could just slowly release the compression and knew exactly when the mag would fire. He made it look so easy. I was just a teen ager then and would try and force it over to start. Always loved the sound of the 2 cylinder tractors. After restoring them he just sold them off dirt cheap as the fun was over.
I'm not looking to find them but always wondered if they made it to a good home. There seams to be several members from NYS here, they were sold from a small town, Hilton NY near lake Ontario if anyone has any info. Thanks
