Love your WD 45. I had two for years, one with PS and it was nice but probably not necessary since that front end is so light. We had constant leaks with our power steering system too. I messed with it for years without success. Eventually traded it for an Oliver as our horsepower needs increased. I miss having a lightweight tractor for seeding…
I agree with the issue of constant oil leaks, it's just that we are not as young as we use to be. You are doing some nice work on your "specialty use" tractors.
That's one way to fix the leaks!! I never saw one with power steering. Ran a friend's WD45 with an F11 high lift loader and 10 bale grapple.. loaded semis in the field for a week or so.. never had any trouble steering it.
@@farmerpeteHey Pete my Dad bought a new narrow front end WD 45 in 1957 and it had power steering on it and as far as I remember he didn’t have any problems with it leaking my nephew still has it today
I didn't realize a hood change was in order to match up with WD power steering. Mine and the old one back on the farm are manual steering. Warm weather is getting closer every day, or so we convince ourselves. Your tractor is looking good and ready.
We had a WD-45 Diesel that did not have power steering, and they weren't that hard to steer. Our gasser had power steering, but it wasn't the Allis factory installed unit, so it didn't have the hole in the hood.
If new seals and O-rings didn't stop the leaks, then I'd probably take it off also. I assume this isn't the BMW power steering assembly on a different rebuild? If that was a different tractor, does it leak?
Man yeah Mr Pete, seemed to have gone well! May someone that that knows nothing ask why the hood change was needed? That is a sweet looking Allis, looking fwd to seeing it planting oats this spring! Thank you sir for bringing us!! 😁😁🇺🇸🇺🇸👍👍
Don’t have a barns pump. Original pump went bad years ago. I used an automotive ps pump for a BMW. Pressure and volume specs are close. Pump was the only thing that didn’t leak.

Thanks! When I bought my farm from my grandparents in 1976 I started out with 2 WD45s.

Thanks for the update Pete the old girl is looking good 👍
Thanks 👍
That’s some really nice work!
Thanks!

Thanks Ed! I’m not sure how rare PS is on these, suspect it’s not too common.

@@brittblanton8342that’s cool! My grandfather bought this one new in 1957.
Looks great!!!
Thanks!!
When I was growing up the little tractors and big trucks we had didn’t have power steering, maybe that’s why I have big arms lol 💪🏻
Probably so!🙂
Looks good
Thanks!

Thanks! Yes, there are holes in the hood for the PS tank.

Nice looking WD, new tractors just don't have style!
Thanks! I think the old tractors of all makes have character.
Well I’d find a way to fix it. The tricycle ones was tough to turn with manual steering

This is the one I used the BMW pump on. Pump was the only thing that didn’t leak!
Too bad it leaked, but you fixed it 🙂 Can't wait until fieldwork starts!!
Thanks Chris! Yup, pretty sure that leak is fixed 🙂
She's beautiful again!
Thanks Deb!
Nothing wrong with Armstrong power steering.
Yup, perfectly good option!

Thanks Nelson! The hood on PS tractors has holes for the PS tank.
@@farmerpete Ahhh, I see what you mean, thank you sir 😁
Good day Yrs ago we had WD with loader & it was suppose be 45?? I don't think it was !
Comparing to W-6 Wd steer alot easier.
Thanks looks good.
Thanks Don!
how much you want for the barns pump?
