I might have a chance at getting an unstyled WC from a family member and would like to know what implements can be used with it. Also, can it be fitted with a 3-point kit? From the serial no I have I believe it is a 1937.

It would be difficult to add a 3 point hitch as the WC does not have hydraulics.

Everything they has was either pull type or fully mounted and used the cultivator lift to raise the implement. AaronSEIA

Aaron is right. Lots of old stuff like You could pull a two bottom 14 in trailer plow with trip lift, a old pull type disk that doesn't have a lift, you could pull a pull type rotary mower behind or get a AC sickle mower (some were mounted on it), a hay rake, 2 row JD trip lift planter, a pull behind harrow or as Aaron said a 2 row cultivator. The WC had a mechanical lift on it to lift the cultivator,

From the factory the unstyled WC is limited to pull type or mounted equipment and pto or belt power or an optional power lift. Hydraulics could be added pretty simply with either a pto driven pump, a belt driven pump or a pump that runs off of the distributor drive (live hydraulics) Add a resivor and control valve and you have a basic system that will operate a remote cylinder. Then you can use a pull type mower, disc, plow, etc. or a even a simple loader. After that adding a 3pt lift is possible but will require some fabrication and engineering, I've seen it done well and I've seen it done real ugly but it worked.You can mount a belly mount finish mower with manual lift but a WC is a little big for that. For mine I have a 2 bottom #8 IH plow and occasionally use it to pull/drag stuff around like a flarebox wagon. I have used it to spray fencerows before.

Thanks for the replies. I need a 3-point but sounds like this isn't the tractor. I don't do plowing/cultivating ect, but a belt maybe in the future. Does anyone know about the MM R series (RTU)? I'm guessing its in the same boat as the WC. Its electric start with hand clutch & pto. The clutch will not disengage, so it needs split. I know this is an AC forum but just thought I'd ask.
