1940-1941 116ci Model b Horse power

Ted Rhodes	I'm looking to buy a model b with serial # b46316. As near as I can tell this is a 1940-1941 model b with a 116ci engine. Does this sound correct?? If so, I'm trying to figure out what horse power this engine/tractor has. It has a pto and a 3 point hitch on it. The only possible problems with this tractor is the right front wheel looks loose. I think it is a $40 fix with new bearings. And the right rear tire is loose. It is rocking on two of the clips that holds the rim to the wheel( there are 4 of these clips.)If it is a simple thing like adjusting the rim on the wheel, that's cool. If not, I think I'm looking at a new rim. Looks like about a $300 fix for new rim and mounting of tire. I would like to use it for small crop plantings about 6 acres right now, to a maximum of maybe 10acres in the future. Would I be able to use a 2 bottom plow with this tractor?? What size disc could I use with it??? What size brush hog could I use with it?? Any thoughts you might have would greatly appriciated. Thanks for any and all help. Ted
Jeff Z.	It looks to be a 1940. The 116ci engine had around 13hp at the drawbar and around 15 1/2 at the belt. You should be able to handle a two bottom. On the rims you might have to add a thin piece of metal {I use flashing} to the clamps. There are aftermarket rims that bolt on with no clamps for around 88.00 each. They solve alot of problems.
Ted Rhodes	Jeff, thanks for the quick response. I didn't see the rims that bolt on, if I get the tractor, I may have to look into that. So you think the problem is not that the rim is out of round??? Ok, so it is a 1940 model b, am I correct in the assumption that the engine is a 116ci???? Thanks again, Ted
Jeff Z.	The rim and clamps wear when they get loose. I'll get back to you with info on the other rims. Send me your email and I'll send you a picture. Probably a 116 since the 125ci engines started in 41.
Jeff Z.	The 125ci engine was being used before 41 in the RC model.
rich4	Small 2 bottom plow, preferably 2-12's maybe 2-14's in soft ground. No more than a 5 foot tandem disk, if it doesn't work you can always remove a disk on either side. Probably a 4 ft Brush hog would be OK.
TED RHODES	Jeff and Rich, Thanks for the info. Jeff, email address is TRRHODES@aol.com Thanks for all your help, guys. I'm 95% sure I'm gonna buy the tractor. Just gotta get it approved by momma. LOL Ted
