In looking at photos of 1940-1950 JD tractors, the flywheel looks different...maybe a later or different model B?

Good shot Jederick and I bet if that tractor had a bit of refurbishment on it it would look great.

John Deere Model B, commonly referred to as "Poppin Johnie". This model is powered by a two-cylinder engine, with an operated hand clutch. Spent many hours on those hard seats. Usually started by hand spinning the side mounted belt drive drum.
For those that do not know, the term 'Red Neck' was coined to describe people who had a sun burn on the back of their exposed neck from working in the sun. Many were drivers of these kinds of tractors.
