1937 john deere b with orig. factory round spoke wheels


1937 John Deere B, unstyled, short frame. French & Hecht(?) round spoke wheels. SN B-34035.
The motor is stuck and has been since at least 1985.
Factory round spoke wheels (6 x 36). Both rear wheels appear solid and seem to be in decent shape. The RH wheel has lost its paint and it has some surface rust. The rim part of the RH wheel will clean up easily but the spokes have light pitting. The LH wheel has a more or less complete coat of paint left on it. The hubs and clamps appear to be okay but I haven't tried to loosen them.
Round spoke cut-off front wheels (3 x 15). The rim portions are rusty and beat up, the front wheels should be re-rimmed.
The hood is rusted out as you can see in the photos. The main fuel tank is rusted out (behind the hood holes) but someone removed the starter fuel tank outlet/plumbing and left it open. Consequently, the small tank at least seems to have stayed dry and whole. The little tank has a small dent in its left side.
The radiator cap has a chip broken out of one lip.
The engine oil filter cap retainer bolt is broken near the head. I found it broken this winter and I assume water collected in the filter housing and blew the cover off when it froze up. But, I didn't see any water or ice come out when the cover came off and I don't see any other damage so who knows why it broke.
The spark plug wire conduit is broken in two where it clamps to the fan shaft.
The lower portion of the air cleaner is missing. The bottom cylindrical can part is gone but the upper cast piece and snorkle are still there.
The exhaust pipe is rusted out.
The tractor is rough, but it's more or less complete and original. It's restorable or it would be good for parts.
