I just wanted to say Thank You to a few of the forum members I have had the great luck to have met on line, with the work being done on my WD45 over the past year and a half. My latest project to replace a clutch turned in to a nightmare as the tractors engine came out, plan A was converted to plan B and one of my old friend and a new one stepped up to help me finish the project! I organized a tractor ride for this Sunday to a farm day in Montgomery, Illinois and thought I would have to use another friends tractor. This afternoon I was coached on the fine art of adjusting valves for the finishing touches on my WD45. Three weeks have pasted since the first bolt was turned and since that date a new clutch, pressure plate, flywheel, associated bearings, pan gasket, main seals, filter to block gasket, new thermostat and gasket, new valve cover gasket, new radiator, front wheel bearings and seals, oil change and new antifreeze. I can't say enough about the knowledge I have learned from the members.
Thanks Again,
Danny

Great to hear that things turned out good for you and your WD45,Danny. It's always nice in the end when things turn out like you had hoped they would. A lot of great knowledge and great folks here on the AC forum though. I think I've made more friends on here through the years than I have anywhere else. Rick
