Saved Two WDs from Scrap

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

   I had noticed these two tractors for years and finally wrote the guy a letter - turns out he was selling the property and was getting ready to haul them to the scrap yard, so good timing.
The wide front is a 1952 and he never had it running. It's locked up but he said it didn't used to be, and the exhaust wasn't covered well. Tires are junk but the rims look to only need minor repairs (broken welds on some of the spinout rails). I'm sure it needs an engine rebuild but it might be worth saving.

The narrow front is a 1951 and he had been using it to pull a mower. It has a cracked block with JB Weld on it and the muffler rusted out so it's locked up now. No boot on the gear shifter. It also has what I think is pocket gopher damage from where there was a mound of dirt next to one of the rear tires... Never seen that before. Otherwise the rear tires would be decent. This one will probably get parted out to save some other tractors.

I don't need any more WD/WD-45s at this point but I have a problem letting things go get melted down when they still have good parts. I know a few of you guys will understand.
