 Topic: WD45 Vs Wd ???
Posted: 20 Nov 2009 at 8:17pm |
I thought that there was a difference in the engine between the WD45 and the WD. I was looking to purchase an overhaul kit, but the kit is the same for both engines. Is this true? If so then what is the real difference between the two? Thanks Dave

The WD is a 201 cu in,originally a 4" bore and 4 " stroke. The 45 is 226cu in with 4" bore and 4.5" stroke. There are other differences in the tractor, but this is the main difference in the engine.

I believe there has to be a difference in wrist pin placement between the two different kits.

Right, some people us WD pistons in a 45 to up the compression ratio.

Depends on how the vendor has it listed. Yes, there is a difference. Typically though, the 45 and Wd are listed in the same section, so you need to know if you are working on the 201, or the 226. But as Charlie posted, the stroke is the basic difference.

5.0 to 1 in a WD uses the same piston as 7.2 to 1 in a WD45.

Most problems can be solved with the proper application of high explosives.

Sometimes even though the money end of a project can add up you also need to look at the enjoyment you can get from doing it as well.I have done tractors for farmers that brought tears to there eyes when they say them .And that is worth alot

Dave you have got the right site for help on your grandpa's WD45. And yes you can put more $$$$$ in her than it might bring at a sale, With that said you are lucky to find the tractor your grandpa had! I have three WD45s but not one of them is the old WD that Dad had and that makes the look for that WD all the more important for me to find someday. Here is the three Wd45s that seam to stay with me. lol

I looked back at my post and saw that I did not make it clear. The tractor that I now have was my Father's. He had sold it to the neighbor and his son gave it to me. It was a blessing and so generous gift. I will be glad to put more than it was worth as I used this tractor when I was 12-13 yr old. Now I am as old as dirt. These pictures of your tractor helps me to know that they are not tooo old to be brought back to life. Thanks Dave

You know, If I could find the first flat top WC my father sold I would not hesitate to rebuild it. It would mean that much to me.
Go for it. The 45 has a very easy engine to restore. I am certain the parts will be a lot higher than when I sold them but it will be worth it.
It is YOUR FATHER'S TRACTOR. PRICELESS!!!
Let us know how it goes.
Good Luck!
