Looks good but it is not in original condition. The decals are a later version that after market and Allis Chalmers sold. Kinda high priced too even if it's not all sloppy wore out. That's my first impression. ------------- -- --- .... .- -- -- .- -.. / .-- .- ... / .- / -- ..- .-. -.. . .-. .. -. --. / -.-. .... .. .-.. -.. / .-. .- .--. .. ... - Wink I am a Russian Bot |

It has been repainted, but the wrong shade of Orange for WD-45 era. Should be much darker, similar to shade of the plow. |

| In my opinion, not original. And at $4,800 it's priced too high; maybe 1/3 of that for the condition, no weights, etc. |

Cut the price in half and we're in the ball park........almost. Say around $1800 The pedals and the hand clutch look tight though. Lousy paint job. ------------- "Allis-Express" 19?? WC / 1941 C / 1952 CA / 1956 WD45 / 1957 WD45 / 1958 D-17 |

All original means original paint. Clearly that’s not the case, but it does seam to be at least a nice WD. From the pics I’m not convinced it’s a 45. Appears to maybe have a curved shifter, what about a pic of the front of the head? Serial number? Could be a late model WD with 45 sticker on it. Not picking it apart but 2 tractors I went to look at advertised as 45’s were no more than a curved shifter WD with the wrong decal on it. Serial number tells the story. ------------- 1968 B-208, 1976 720 (2 of them)Danco brush hog, single bottom plow,52" snow thrower, belly mower,rear tine tiller, rear blade, front blade, 57"sickle bar,1983 917 hydro, 1968 7hp sno-bee, 1968 190XTD |

| I'm pretty picky when it comes to "original". Front and rear tires on this tractor are from the late 1960's or early 70's. Why is the manifold not orange ?? Has it been replaced ?? Pretty sure it's a 45, as it has the high fender brackets, 4-bolt wide front plate and TBoost gauge, which a WD didn't have from the Factory. |
