My WD45 is about an hour away. What size socket fits the spinout bolts so I can take the correct tools? I noticed that the left side is out further than the right and I want to even them out.
Thanks.
Jon.

Have they been moved lately? If not, you might have fight ahead. The size is 3/4". Bring a 16# mall to give the ecentric bolt a good rap. ------------- -- --- .... .- -- -- .- -.. / .-- .- ... / .- / -- ..- .-. -.. . .-. .. -. --. / -.-. .... .. .-.. -.. / .-. .- .--. .. ... - Wink I am a Russian Bot |

Thanks for the info. I have only owned the tractor a couple of months and dont know when they were moved last. I will take some good penetrating oil just in case.
Thanks,
Jon.

A 6 point 3/4" socket works better than a 12 point; best is a 3/4" impact socket. You may want to bring a breaker bar and a lenght of pipe for a cheater bar also. ------------- What this country needs is more unemployed politicians-and lawyers. Currently have: 1 D14 and a D15S2.

| And....It should have the locks on the rails and they can cause greif if asleep for too long. |

| Thanks to all for advice, had no problems adjusting the wheel. I had an old tire iron that fit better than the socket, stops were no problem either.Just had to scrape away old paint. Pretty cool idea they had, was this the first of the adjustable wheels? |

I second the 3/4 six point impact socket. They can be very tough. I snapped an impact short extension doing mine. I suggest soaking them down in a good penetrating oil, giving some good blows front and back, then wait, and reapeat. Let the loose juice sit for a good hour of so. You will be surprised how effective waiting can be. Worked for mine, it was sitting near 10 year in the same spot. Good 5-6 foot cheater pipe works wonders as well.
Good Luck. ------------- 1954 WD45 NF "Iron Tater" |

IF I recall yes 3/4 ", half inch breaker bar and a hammer, pipe, Pen.oil, Never Seize . I think 19 mm Socket is the next size down. All six point. Use the hammer and pipe to shock them loose, once loose move them until smooth. To tighten turn some or all 1/2-3/4 way tight and after all set at that point try to tighten the rest of the way. Any that have the weight of tractor on them can be very hard to turn , you may need to re loosen them all and start over. I use the hammer to tap on the old breaker bar while pushing on a 24" pipe to loosen and tighten. You may find that you need to move the tractor some to get them tight, and locks on the one rail to keep them set. I HOPE YOU GET AN EASY ONE!!! Most I do have been setting for years and drive me nuts the first time. Be Safe!!

Good for you. These wheels were patented by Allis and the Wd was the first to use the power shift rear wheels in 1948. ------------- -- --- .... .- -- -- .- -.. / .-- .- ... / .- / -- ..- .-. -.. . .-. .. -. --. / -.-. .... .. .-.. -.. / .-. .- .--. .. ... - Wink I am a Russian Bot |
