Looks like the rearends and the decals are the only WC parts left but it sure looks tough.

That is cool looking, but it looks like it has 2-1/2 ton running gear, steerable axles.

There was one in the mid 70's at a JD dealer in Findley Ohio. It had 2 WC rears and a GMC V6. They said it would outpull a 4020.

I like the one that Greg and John show photos of in Albert City. What engine did it have and transmission? Any idea who built it?

I have plans (in my head) to build an articulating tractor out of left over parts. It will have two WC rear ends but stock height and powered by a 262 gas. (4W93)

Nothing is impossible if it is properly financed

Does the WC in that last picture have a WD wide front end on it?

There was a blacksmith in Montgomery City Mo that made one years ago. They sold it at his sale but I don't know where it went.

Me too. 40 chev, those big axles on that second pic don't seem to be top-loaders like the Rockwells, at least not that I can see. Someone posted that on here a while back. Speaking of mud trucks, I had a buddy with a 2 1/2 frame and running gear. The body had rotted off, so he took the body from the old Dodge station wagon he had in the weeds and grafted it on. Looked really wicked, especially with the tandems on there.(required a leetle fender trimming and sheet metal work to clear that.LOL!) Painted OD green, of course.
