Sometimes you can find a casting # on the rearend that would be a close date or you can go off the engine serial#. ------------- Waukesha B, B, IB, G, styled WF, D15, 615 backhoe, 2-Oliver OC3's, 4 Ford Model T's, 3 Model A Fords, AV8 Coupe, AV8 Roadster, 1933 Ford Wrecker |

The engine # will be hand stamped and start with WD##### unless it's a newer WD45 engine, then it will start with 45-#####. Here is a site that has the info.

the serial no on the hydraulic pump should match the tractor serial no.....if the pump is original. but, I suspect that if you spend a little time scraping paint you will be able to read the serial no on the tractor differential. Nothing but the differential no will be for sure, because during it's life motors, pumps, etc could of been changed ------------- I am still confident of this; I will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living.

Some of the early WD's were stamped to the right side of the left brake cover also.

would that be on top of the brake housing or on the back because I have removed the paint under the hole where I found the serial # on my 1951 and the casting is a little pitted but I dont see any numbers there. I tought I should be able to make out something but I see nothing ------------- 1951 WD, 1948 WD, 1937 unstyled WC (NW Ohio) |

I found the serial # right of the left break cover # 3348. So you have a fairly early WD from 1948. ------------- http://www.ae-ta.com" rel="nofollow - http://www.ae-ta.com Lena 1935 WC12xxx, Willie 1951 CA6xx Dad bought new, 1954WD45 PS, 1960 D17 NF |

I hope to start restoring both of my wd's sometime in the near future so I may be posting my questions. I haven't pick up my '37 WC yet but I should have it in a few months. I also have aquired (3) lil genius two bottom plows which should be a lot of fun when I get them functional. ------------- 1951 WD, 1948 WD, 1937 unstyled WC (NW Ohio) |
