Are you sure its a 45? It has the older style WD wide front bracket on the pedestal.

[rammsteinfan30]

yes it is.

It still has the org sticker on it stating

its a wd45 and i have the org dealer papers from when my grandfather bought it and it stats 1953 wd45.

put a roll bar on that thing because it's unsafe when they don't have the roll bars it's easy to roll

I had a 1959 D12. It looked similar to yours. Thanks for the ride.

This really brings back memories. Dad had 2 of these and they pulled just about everything including combine and picker. The PTO was belted to the sawmill so we could make extra money selling lumber of all kinds when time permitted.

i havent seen to many wide front wd45's so thats cool my dad and granddad farmed with allis chalmers and ih tractors

That really starts easily with the crank! My WD has the place to attach the crank but no crank. It has a magneto so it wouldn't need a battery at all if I could get a crank for it. (unfortunately it will need an engine rebuild to get it running again)

Well, that settles it. As you may know, '53 is the change over year for the two models. My WD (also grandpa's) has some "45" features on it. Looks like parts were parts those few months.
