| I just bought a WD, and the serial number is 209286. I know I'm not reading it wrong, and the serial numbers ended at 131,273 in 1953. I'm almost 100% positive that the tractor is a WD, not a WD-45. How is my serial number possible? |

It would seem that someone replaced the complete 'rear end assembly' with one from a WD-45. Does it have a Curved Shifter ? BTW where are you getting the Serial No. from on the tractor ? |

| Yeah, it's stamped in, I just miswrote cast on my post. It does have a curved shifter |

Matt... your engine... look at both sides of the block. Are both sides smooth, or does ONE side of the block have a large metal plate with lots of bolts holding it on? ------------- Ten Amendments, Ten Commandments, and one Golden Rule solve most every problem. Citrus hand-cleaner with Pumice does the rest. |

I did not do the research to be able to help you with the serial number. But I will throw this in the mix. We have a WD that had the rear end changed and does not have the original number on the back. I am still kicking myself for not getting the original serial number off the casting we scraped!

That would be a 1955 WD45 if all else is in agreement. |

| Engine serial number is behind the carb/air cleaner hose and would read 45-XXXXXX-G. If it is a WD engine it would read W-XXXXXX-G or P. If there is no serial number, the block has been replaced one time in the past and no one ever stamped a s/n in it. |

one of my 45's came up as a 55 and the parts frame tractor came up a 56. ------------- http://machinebuildersnetwork.com/ |
