From My research, here is what I think I know. 

1956 Allis Chalmers WD45.  Serial Number WD228812   Wide Front End, 4 cylinder gas.  Koyker Super Loader with Hydraulic Dump.  3 point Brush Hog, 4 point blade.   It sounds like it wants to start, but is struggling to turn over completely.   The air cleaner assembly is rusted through near the top, but still holds on.  There is a hydraulic line in the rear that looks rusted and seized up, but unsure.  

Because I haven't gotten it started, I don't know if anything else functions, but I am told it does.   

I have pictures, and will try to upload if I can figure out this forum.  

Thanks for any advice.  

Most of the hydraulic lines look good.  Some will need replaced but not immediately from the looks of it.  

Gas smells fine, unsure on other fluids at this time. 

I am confident I can get it running, but give me your expert feedback on how much of a pian replacing the air cleaner assembly will be.  Also, thoughts on what this is work the way it sits right now.   Cash, and I would haul it away.  

First, welcome to the best AC forum on the web! We're a giant Orange family here and always helping one another out no matter what the subject or fix! Tough one to call on the cost factor of the Tractor. Parts are readily available for the 45' so you shouldn't have any trouble finding an air cleaner assy. The main thing is getting it started and see how it runs. Of coarse, a loader is a plus, especially one that is hydraulic over a trip loader. Tractors range in all different prices depending on your location. The ole saying location, location, location. Looks like some nice accessories comes with that Tractor as well. The main thing as you know is get it running and go from there.  Good Luck! The WD45 wide front Tractor is a nice Tractor and very versitile...
