WC questions?

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   WC questions? When did they put on foot brakes? when did they last have distilate tractors? Tonight I looked at styled number wc142795. The exhaust does not go through the hood, it had hand brakes a pto and what I think is a sherman stepup on it. It has no exhaust hole but has a hole right in front of the gas tank on right side which I think is for a starter tank.

	WC's never had factory foot brakes, though there were offered aftermarket. Distilate tractors were made through the WD/WD45 series. Is the hole in the hood surrounded by 3 bolt holes? if so, that may be for the tank as you say. If it's got a Sherman, that would be a huge plus! -John

	The later WC's came through with a shift lever near the rear end that when shifted allowed the tractor to stop and the mechanical power lift - which was located in front of the shift - to be run so the implement could be lifted without the tractor moving. A sherman lift would be a hi low arrangement and are very rare. Hope you have one. I agree with all the above posts. No original foot brakes, and there was a distallate unit for the life of the tractor 33-45. The WC is a very basic, extremely dependable tractor. While it does not have all the modern things - hyd, PS, and the like - in its time it was in some instances light years ahead of other units. Take good care of it. Good Luck! Bill Long
