Well I guess Ive gone and done it, i finally bought a tractor for my property and the best thing its old. I picked up a wd 45 for $200. It ran when last parked just missing the water pump. Im trying to figure out the year. i looked at the serial number chart but my number set is only 5 digits (64562). I cleaned the surface but can not see any other stampings. Anybody know a good place in Ca for parts.

If your tractor number is inconclusive, look for the engine number on the left side of the block. Compare what you find to Bryan Smith's numbers at this link.

It is entirely possible the engine is not original to the tractor, but this could answer a few questions.  Charlie

Wow good find for $200! You can't go wrong for that price. A very good source for parts is Tony Carbaugh. Good people and fast delivery!

Most likely you have a WD. I am basing that on the radiator shutter and the straight seat support. Check the engine serial number as CT suggested. You might also check the top flange of the hydraulic pump, I have found the tractor serial number there on several of my tractors.

I'm thinking WD as well because it has the three bolt front end as well as the reason's stated above. Some real good shoppin' on your part though for $200.

It also looks to have the Magneto mount instead of a dist. judging by the oil fill cap, but it could have been changed.

The reason why I called it a Wd-45 is that back by the serial number it has WD45 stamped into it. It does not have a magneto. I am pretty sure past owners have been foolin aroud in the kitchen on this one.

Crank start with a loader? That would suck!

Why would it have to be hand crank. I did not say it has a magneto but when it was new it did like most WDs with electric start other than the real late ones, I can see the press on tin oil fill cap vs. the screw on aluminum on on the 226 with distributors and the dist cap sitting to far back to have a factory setup. I didn't say it was a hand start I just said it had the magneto mounting flange.

where is it stamped, is it in line with the serial number or some where else, I though they all started with just WD, is you gear shifter straight or curved.

I think you got a good buy even if it is a WD or a WD45. I sure wish I could find one like that.

Supt. are you looking on the left rear axle housing just below the brake cover on the side facing the rear? They all start out "WD" and then the numbers. Serial # 146606 is the last WD with 146607 being the first WD45.

I would say you have a 1950 WD. If it has the original engine it will have a plate bolted to the right side of the block that the oil filter mount bolts to. The 45 did not have this plate. Second thing to look at would be the shifter. All but the last few WD's had a straight shifter. The 45 has a curved shifter.

I agree with Charlie. Looks like you have a WD. Still a bargain at $200.
