WD45 price and attachments

My father passed away a couple weeks ago and I'm going to buy his wd45 from my mom. Miss you Dad! it has been converted to 12 volt system has a trailer hitch attachment and scraper blade attachment and a plow attachment how do I go about finding how much I should pay her for it?

Also how do I go about finding attachments for it? What is the attachment system called? I wold like to find disc or other cultivators to make my life easier. I am in Utah if that helps with how to equipment.

I also restored a WD as a High School FFA/shop class project, wife wants me to sale it I have hard time doing that, lots of sentimental value with it. She doesn't want two tractors sitting around.

First I am sorry to here about your Dad passing away.
Second Welcome to the forum.
Third: This is a family tractor WD45 is a good one to have. I bought my Dad's WD back from my aunt for $1000. It probably wasnt really worth that but the sentimental value was higher. I restored it to good working condition and cleaned and painted it, put about $2000 + into it. Showed it and pulled it. My Dads great grandson now owns it and his great great grandson gets to go on wagon rides behind it. The value? Priceless! I would keep the WD that you did in school too. This is part of you youth. and when its gone its gone. Talk this over with your wife. You can blame Old Chris on the Allis forum if you want!
Regard,

Ed hit the nail on the head. Think about how many cars your Dad had, probably lots! And my guess not many survived?? But tractors stand the test of time and will live on for several more generation!

I didn't buy my Dad's D-10, I just took it over. As far as my Mother is concerned, it was going to be mine eventually anyway. It might have been different if my Mother needed the money. If your Mother needs the money you should pay her, but get it, you'll regret it if you don't. Keep the WD as well. It's not like it's going to make you rich by selling it, and its worth more to you than anyone else.

Wide front end alone is worth $350.00 around here. If it runs, stops and goes OK $1200-$1500.00. If it doesn't run $650.00-850.00 depending on the condition of the rear tires.

Rear tire was inflated until my dad and I moved it 15 years ago. I am guessing they are junk

There's some glare on the picture which makes it difficult to see what shape the tires are in.  Is the gear shift straight or curved?  If it's straight you've got a WD unless the gear shift has been replaced with 1 from a WD.  It's a wide front & that's a definite plus.  Looks like it's sitting in the weeds.  Does this tractor run?  If not when did it last run?  Engine free?    Has it been sitting outside?  The sheet metal looks OK.  Is the sheet metal straight?  Rusty fenders?  What shape are the wheels in, particularly the rear wheels?  Do the tires have calcium in them?  That's a negative because the calcium rots out the wheels over time.  Is the draw bar in place?  Lots of variables here.  Now to advice.  I have two 1950 WD's, 1 was my dad's & the other was his dad's.  Dad gave them to me & they were basket cases.  Dad even put calcium in the front tires which resulted in rotted front wheels.  I restored both WD's, pouring more money into them than I care to think about.  Wouldn't have done it any other way.  Love those tractors.  So, ...  Buy the WD45 & keep the WD.  You'll be glad you did.  Implements for WD's and WD45's are plentiful & not too expensive.  Except for discs.  They seem to be in hot demand.  Most any part you'll need is available.  Look for swap meets & tractor shows that have parts vendors.  If you have an AGCO dealer within driving range you can buy a lot of new parts.  There are mail order vendors like Steiners and the ones who advertise on the Forum.  GOOD  LUCK!

Don't lose out on you FATHER's TRACTOR.  You will regret it if it gets away

That WD is REALLY rough and not worth much to sell.  Also if you suspect that the tires are junk, that REALLY cuts down on the value of it.  You're not gonna get much for it, so you should have someone come over and offer you $300 for it and then explain to the little woman that it's memory value is worth more than that.  And as you fixed it up once, you can do it again.

For you Dad's WD45, I'd offer Mom $1500 for the whole works.  See what she has to say? All the pieces are worth that, if it runs.  This should give you a starting point, but as said above, "It was Dad's" and as such is worth a LOT MORE....up to you.

I am so sorry to hear about your Dad's passing.  My condolences.  I'm hoping you and Mom can come to an agreement on this.

One thing NOBODY has mentioned yet,,,,,,,,,,,,it is a SICKNESS, you can't have just one, or two, or,,,,,,,,,once you get started, look out!!!!!!

OH, one other thing,,,,,I told my wife; "would you rather I spend my time fixing up old Allis tractors and machinery, or sitting in a tavern?"  Sometimes she mentions that she would have answered the other way, but she didn't know it was a SICKNESS. LOL

ENJOY your Dad's tractor, you'll NEVER be sorry...

I have a wd45 and the loader won,t go down. I,ve tried some adjustments and no luck. I took the hydraulic pump off. And inspected it. First the smallest pump piston nearest the steering wheel does,nt come back to it,s normal position when I press down on it, also retainer for the unloading valve piston seems to be stuck in there. I was thinking that this should slide back and forth. Was wondering if these items are my problem and were do I get parts. Would appreciate any help ,thank you.

Guess I wasn't clear about the different tractors. There are 3 tractors the "dead" WD, my Dads WD45, and my restored WD. The WD shown above hasn't been touched. Here is a picture of the one I restored. Wish it still looked this well, paint is already fading.
