| The centering valve needs a tweak.Take the cap off the end,loosen jam nut and turn. Don't take much to change it.Play with it.You'll get it. Mine always trys to turn itself left when cold but behaves when warmed a bit. If set to stay still cold,it wants to turn right when warm. Mess around with it till you're satisfied. Probably best to have it warmed up to adjust. |

Hi!
Welcome to the forum. My name is Harold Cowan. I was born on Grand pa's farm on the corner of the Thompson Lake Rd and the Warners Lake Rd. I worked for Fred Kendal on the Warners Lake Rd til I went to College in 1959. We borrowed a WD 45D
from Komjathy's Allis dealership to try out just before I left. I never knew if Fred ever bought it. Manybe the one you have. I bought a restored one in 2000 up in Minnesota.
Last time I was back home, most of the buildings were gone except the house, and the fields looked like they were grown up to trees. Let me know if you are interested in talking. You can send me a PM.
