This could have helped me very much. There wasn't many videos on this but this is the one!

My grand father framed with 2 old John Deere B’s for years. I don’t know if all were made so it could be started by hand using the steering wheel. But my grand fathers were both of them. His oldest he would start that way almost every day he used it.

The first few minutes when you took off the sheet metal took me right back to August 1972 when I repainted Dad''s 1940 JD B before I left for college my freshman year.. He paid $90 for it December 1968 and it sold for $120 at his auction Dec. 1972. No mechanical work done to it. It started and ran if you pulled it with a FARMALL. I tried using it for some jobs like raking hay, but it was too slow, so it mostly sat. Anything it could do my Super H FARMALL could do better and I could listen to my tractor radio. I had a '39 FARMALL H before the SH and it had elec starting & lights, and a radio, hydraulics, and a 16 mph road gear. I've had the SH 55 years now, I'd like to think I could enjoy another 55 years with it but I doubt I make it that long, but the SH will still be running. What you found inside the cylinders of your B is why ANY tractor I use gets stored inside. Rain gets in places that cause Thousands of Dollars of repair costs. Some of these old tractor parts are made from "Unobtainium". Good luck with your restoration.

I’m going to look at a 1935 this weekend that’s been setting for 55years lol she’s stuck too any tips or things to look for?

Check engine oil with a crescent wrench, if the crankcase is full of water too then you might have even bigger problems. I'd offer the guy scrap price if it's been locked up for 55 years.
