Available in Elverson, Pennsylvania, this 1947 John Deere B for sale is a seller-reported completely restored classic tractor offered at $5,000 OBO.

Restored 1947 John Deere B
The seller describes this tractor as completely restored, giving buyers an opportunity to purchase a classic John Deere from one of the company's best-known two-cylinder tractor families without starting with an unfinished restoration project.
The John Deere Model B was designed as a smaller row-crop tractor than the Model A and became an important part of John Deere's letter-series tractor lineup. The Model B was produced for many years, with several significant design changes throughout production. The late-styled version began during 1947, making the exact serial number especially important when identifying the precise factory configuration of a tractor from this model year.
Because a serial number has not yet been supplied for this particular tractor, buyers should verify whether this machine falls into the specific late-styled configuration and confirm all equipment and specifications during inspection.
Classic Two-Cylinder John Deere Character
The Model B is widely recognized for John Deere's distinctive horizontal two-cylinder engine design and traditional open-station layout.
Published information for the late-styled Model B lists a John Deere 3.1-liter two-cylinder engine, with gasoline and all-fuel configurations available. Published specifications also list a six-speed unsynchronized transmission, two-wheel drive, manual steering, and transmission-driven 540-rpm rear PTO.
Those specifications describe the model family and should not be interpreted as confirmation of this individual tractor's exact configuration without its serial number and an inspection.
A Tractor With Collector Appeal
At nearly 80 years old, a restored 1947 Model B can appeal to a much different buyer than a modern working tractor.
Potential uses include:

Antique tractor collections
Tractor shows
Agricultural heritage events
Community parades
Farm or business displays
Personal collections
Vintage John Deere exhibits
Light-duty recreational tractor use

For John Deere collectors, originality and restoration details can play an important role in value. Interested buyers are encouraged to ask about the restoration work, engine work, sheet metal, paint, electrical components, tires, gauges, decals, and any receipts or photographs documenting the restoration.
Historical Model B Capability
The Model B was developed as a practical row-crop tractor and historically performed jobs such as cultivating crops, pulling plows, and powering stationary farm equipment.
For the late-styled Model B, published information lists approximately 25 claimed drawbar horsepower and 28 claimed belt horsepower, with Nebraska testing recording approximately 24.62 drawbar horsepower and 27.58 belt horsepower.
The University of Nebraska Tractor Test Laboratory maintains historical testing documentation for the John Deere B, including a January 1947 test report.
Today, a restored example such as this one may be more attractive as a collectible or hobby tractor than as a primary production machine.
Offered at $5,000 OBO
The seller is asking $5,000 or best reasonable offer.
That price positions this tractor as an accessible opportunity for someone wanting to add a restored two-cylinder John Deere to a collection without taking on the time and expense of beginning a restoration from an unrestored tractor.
Because restoration quality can vary considerably, buyers should personally inspect the tractor and confirm the mechanical, cosmetic, and historical details that matter to their purchase.
The sale also includes a 5-point hitch attachment along with an extra battery, adding additional value to the package. These items are included with the tractor and will transfer to the buyer as part of the sale.
