Big Red

 


Here's what @mozarts_ride has to say about this tractor:

1940-48 Farmall "Model B" Tractor. I spotted "Big Red" resting next door to a local winery cabin, located in the wonderul town of Fredericksburg, Texas.... "She thinks my tractor's sexy...It really turns her on...She's always starin' at me...While I'm chuggin' along...Kenny Chesney
.
."The Farmall B was built by International Harvester from 1940 to 1948 in Chicago, Illinois..The new McCormick-Deering Farmall B was closely related to the Farmall A. The main differences were the B's narrow front (tricycle) design with a standard single front wheel or optional dual wheels, plus an extended left rear axle. Moving the left rear wheel outward put the engine and transmission in the center but the driver was still offset to the right for a good view of the ground and crop below the tractor. The B had the same power as the A and was also rated as a 1-plow tractor but it was designed to cultivate two rows vs. one for the A." (Fandom, "Tractor & Construction Plant Wiki. Farmall B")..Now you know the rest of the story...)
