Allis5020,
At one time I believe there may have been some six-bolt front hubs for the WC. Not sure of the year/timeframe. Someone else on here I'll bet knows for sure.

AC5020, I own an M and I've owned an H too. A lot of descriptions come to mind for an H but "big" would not be one I'd have thought of. Never the less if it's an old tractor they're usually fun to run.

Yea sir! Big red! Broaden your horizons mate. Farmall is a good hard working tractor too. But Allis is always top. Cheers.

Hey i was just wondering, is the 5 bolts on every wc wd? I keep seeing 4 bolts only. I'm looking to upgrade my 5020 which has small turf tires. Lawn tractor like, i would like some tires like the ones in my profile picture (which is not my tractor and all credit is to the owner) My 5020 has a 5 bolts like in your picture.

Here's my rather ugly but great-running '41 that I didn't need but couldn't pass up at an auction. Still trying to decide what I want to do with it.

Charlie,
FYI, I've done a few RV4 Mag's over the years for my customer's, and one of them the customer mentioned the Tractor was a 1935 WC. Not sure what years the other ones I've done were off of but they to were off WC's and one WF....

That's the same mag I have on my 35 now, it had been converted to a distributor years ago but that was junk when I got her out of the woods. Nice oil filter, I'd bet the filter hasn't been changed in a few years

Lena when I got her home.  Guess I need some updated pics. All I have is a video offloading from the trailer when it wasn't running worth a crap.

Yep. Bring along a spark plug wrench and some ATF in a squirt can. While you're there, take each plug out and apply a liberal amount of fluid in each cylinder and stick the plugs back in.

Charlie, I've got the serial number written down... darned if I can remember where I put it. I may go out to the farm this weekend and check the serial number; backside of differential right?
I'll try to get a couple more pictures too. The engine wasn't locked up when I pulled it in the crib driveway 30+ years ago, but it's tight now. Probably wouldn't take much to loosen it up.

So what is it Brian? a 34 or a 35? Do you know the serial number? I'm interested because of the RV4B mag. I have been told they weren't used on 35's and others say they were.

Great pic Tom! I still think the 'Christmas WC photo' takes the cake though!

This is my 1944 taken at the Orange Spectacular a couple years ago. I still need to take pictures of the 1934 WC301 I bought a couple weeks ago.

Is it easy to raise the blade on the grader with those hand wheels or is it pretty stiff.

Notthing from the bell housing back is the same . Steering wheel and PTO drop box on the later WC's might be the same as WD .The WD was a BIG jump up . |
Not true, the fenders are most definitely the same ;) |
Your WD would look funny with WC fenders without mounting brackets cut off them ..Also do not fool your self into thinking the fender shape is 100% the same from late WC to WD !!.

Can't say I've ever seen one of those. Is that a earlier version of the road grader?
