Here ya go: 
Some type of Weight bracket (?) on front, which makes it look weird. Other than that, and the lousy paint job on the front rims/tires, looks like a typical WD45 to me ------------- Jacob Swanson 1920 6-12; 1925,1926 20-35 longfenders; 1925,1926 15-25's; 1927,1929 20-35 shortfenders; C; B's; IB; WC's; WD; WD45 |

| Besides the massive overspray on the front tire, it looks as if the font axle is extended much farther than usual. |

Is it? I thought it was in the right spot, front to back, and just spaced out wide? With the extendo-front of course? I could be wrong though.... ------------- Jacob Swanson 1920 6-12; 1925,1926 20-35 longfenders; 1925,1926 15-25's; 1927,1929 20-35 shortfenders; C; B's; IB; WC's; WD; WD45 |

Hmmm... that is strange. How about the possibility of it being a 'tractor formerly known as Speed Patrol'? The massive overspray not only makes the front wheel look really wierd, it makes the seller look like a classic Ebay hack... take an ugly machine, give it a rattle-can paint job, stand back far enough so you can't see the oil smudges and flaking beneath the new paint, and say "Bid with Confidence, Perfect condition, What you see is what you get" |

Where's the right fender? The front axle is in the right spot but it does look queer. Might be the weight bracket throwing it off look wise. Why is the engine so dirty when the rest is nice and clean? And it looks like a new muffler and alternator.
I'll have to look closer when Im on my bigger monitor. mojo/Mike |

| Eric, where is Orangeville? There are more photos on the auction website, sheetmetal looks pretty straight, must be a pretty stout tractor if it pulled that 5 bottom AC plow. Don't know about that JD petal tractor tho looks like it has white wheels. I'll be at our Hunting Camp north of Jersey Shore Saturday that might be an interesting Sale...Harvey |

If you go to the website the pics are a lot bigger when you click on them. I think the front tires are bigger than 16". The axle is in the right spot. The right fender is there but something is laying on it (seat?).
