My WD is a 52’ and doesn’t have a traction booster gauge. Maybe 53’ was the first year they were installed?

Dad had a 53 WD and it didn't have one. AGCO parts shows the TBoost gauge and line and says WD-45 only. I'm sure some WD's got it added on but not factory installed.

DrAllis, do you think an AC 7060 with drawbar hp at 142, should pull an AC 8-18” monobeam (144”) plow? Anybody pulling one? On-Land plow?

I pulled neighbors 6-18 IH on land hitch with my 220 running 170hp. Rises to 210 when pulled down on the dyno. Was a good match. I doubt 8-18's would work so well especially with less hp. You won't know till you try.

I think if you don't stray away from the 5 to 6 inch depth, 120 lbs weight per PTO HP and 3 to 3.5 MPH speed of a WD-45 tractor/plow combo, you could probably pull it fine. As I said earlier in this post, it seems that when the 90 to 100 HP tractor/plow came along, deeper and faster was the norm, which meant WIDTH began to decrease per HP provided. The mighty 220 was 135 PTO HP and was sold as a 8 x 16's plow tractor for 128 inches of cut.

Right. Is your farm’s soil north or south of IL Route 16? Currently my 79’ Black 7060 easily pulls an AC 2000 semi mounted 6-18 (108”) at 8-10” depth, PD 1st gear, fast range, hi button (~4.5mph?). My farm’s mostly Herrick silt loam(#46) & some Oconee(#113). About 15 years ago, before I knew Ed, I had Area Diesel? Advanced Diesel? in Harristown/Decatur rebuild it’s injection pump. Jason Barker Implement’s shop mechanic (Dave?) removed injection pump, sent it to pump shop, then re-installed rebuilt pump. I ask them to rebuild it to stock hp? So I’m guessing it’s 142hp drawbar? But I don’t know for sure.

6 mile S so mostly 'timber soil" however there is a few acres of black dirt that you don't dare touch wet! I think I have every soil type listed somewhere on this patch.
