Tell us more about that Bonneville bike!

Looks good Jeff,making progress on the Mustang

I'm sensing a deep money pit...

How is the Cougar doing? Did you get it running and have you done some work to it? Hope you can restore it, it's a classic USA car Good luck!!

If the VIN 5th letter is a J, then it's a 302. But you probably have figured that out by now. At least that holds true for a 68. Good luck!!

You would be a fool not to fix it. These cars are gems. Ill take it off your hands.

Excellent S1. The new yellow looks great.

If that's a numbers matching motor rebuild it with some heavy duty parts and turbocharge it.

Put some long tubes on it

Nice clean car Ford power forever baby a real Chevy and dodge killer l love it keep on bringing it you have a car worth some money

Look behind the starter for the engine code.

Precursor to the Taurus SHO.

Gotta drop a 289 in there.😊

The rear being "wide for the chassis" just means you need more backspace on the wheels unless you want to go to the expense of narrowing it and buying new axles.

nice mustang man

The smile on your face sliding thru the grass…. That’s living! Life is short, keep having fun! Keep us posted on the progress- kool project

Simplicity at its finest

Crazy question here, I haven't googled it yet, but can you put an 8" carrier in a 9" housing?

I'm no expert, but that rearend looks different. The backside looks like a nine inch with that gear hump that goes vertical, but that carrier looks different.

Always great history to these old ponies.

Replace the front suspension. Still has the 4 lug. It’s a bit of work. How’s the cowl? Yeah, that’s a 9in. Pull the carpets and make sure the floor boards are pop riveted in. The repair looks bad. Be prepared to weld them in correctly.

I have a 1979 I got in 1989. Stiflers has a tubular transmission cross member for the C4. I've had mine for about 10 years now with no problems.

She's got good bones!

diamond in the ruff

Good morning nice to your children are taking part with your love of tractors I live near Sault saint marie I just bought a 1949 wf grader with no identification tag going to be looking for points and condenser part number in the near future any info would be greatly appreciated thanks

Good stuff ! Kinda lost me ,you put the old shifter back in

i want that car....price it to me.

I had to weld the end of my shifter so it would not slip between the rails. The “ball” end of my shift lever was rusted way undersized. Been 20 years and no problems.

Good job Jeff. I knew you could fix it.

There a lot of vintage Allis aficionados . Some are still working the small farms . You will flip that quickly if you decide

That's a WD-45 engine and final drive. That's probably a WD transmission, I have been told that the shift levers are Not interchangeable. You have a Snap Coupler, which was standard on the WD-45, but optional on the WD. I don't know if there is any way to find out what parts that tractor started with, but it looks llike a mixture of WD and WD-45 parts now. I'd call it a WD-45, because the motor is the most important difference.

It's a wd little manifold and carb

W D 45 has 3 inch head

Do you know if the gears in the transmission slide or if it uses the dog clutches. Sliding gear would be WD. Ive got a book that talks about later WDs did get the constant mesh transmission but they have a curve shifter, but not the other way around.

allis did not get the cut over on parts perfectly, the big item was the engine

It's a wd45. My uncle had the same tractor.

you need ac experts to help so many ways to change parts i have wd and wd45 will look see if other than shift lever i notice any difference i know 45 had 1/2 longer stroke good luvk

I always thought that the frame extending beyond the radiator was wd45, the diesel model was a 6cyl. and it pushed the radiator out to the end of the frame.

1955 WD45 according to the serial number on the back of tractor in the video

I don't know about the WD, but a WD 45 with a good engine will pull an AC 3-14" mounted mouldboard plow!

wd will have 2 clutch disc in hand clutch 45 will have 3

The engine is a 45, run the numbers and see what the chassis is

Its a wd. No hydraulic outlet on the back.

Thats harrowing to say the least !

I'd vote to fix the shifter issues and keep the tractor running. If you retrofit a 3-point hitch (look up how others have done it inexpensively, sure you can just buy a full system ready to go too) you can use many modern implements. Get a simple old pull type trip-plow and a small disc to make a garden this and future springs. That can be very educational for the kids. Get a wide mower to maintain the yard fast. If you don't keep it, I'd suggest looking for a Massey Ferguson TO35/MF35/MF135 series as there are many and they have modern 3point plus live PTO (the reason for the hand clutch on the WD is to get live pto capabilities). The older Ford N-series and prior Fergusons (20s/30s) did not have live PTO and a spinning brush hog can push you into things.

Good evening, My name is Tom and I'm a little confused. You have a WD gear shift lever and the engine is a WD45. I don't know if someone put an older gear shift lever on a 45 or if they put a 45 engine in a WD.

Do you really need a hand clutch?

The engine serial number begins with 45- Does that make the engine a wd45?

the engine is a new style block the trans is a Wd with a straight gearshift the 53 wd and wd45 had a crocked gearshift. the engine could be a wd45 or a d17 engine.. in 1969 i bought a WD in far worse shape than this one is in.. the hand clutch is in good shape. i would have torn the trans down for inspection when you worked on the hand clutch. you probably have a bad shifter fork or a bearing in the trans gone bad like i foun d with my WD

OK . I never liked orange tractors. My favorite was Green.
