Kootenay Farmer: There is one problem developing, B stands for British as they were built in Great Britain. The problem lies with the gassers, world wide probably the gassers all came to North America. Even at that, 95% of the British tractors coming here were diesel. The net result probably less than 3% of these are gassers, and no one is manufacturing parts for that gas engine.
I too was looking at one of these about 3 months ago, and I got that same warning from several sources. I was told the diesel version is an excellent choice. If I think back to my farming days, most of the ones I saw new at dealers were diesel. I was buying Farmalls at the time, but I remember a B-275 or B-414 diesel were less money to buy new than a Farmall 140 or 240. They had live PTO and 35hp.
