I have two WD-45s with wide front ends. Off the top of my head one is serial # 210???, and the other is 214???. My question is the earlier machine has a 4-bolt wide front and the later has a 3-bolt, so was the wide front added to the earlier WD-45 or to the later one. Also are the seals still available for the 3-bolt front ends

Thanks,

Denis

The four bolt wide front end came out at Ser# 186413. So that makes it mid 1954 by my book. So by your Ser# the two of your WD45' should have four bolts on them.

But with time and the need of repairs or updates they can have lots of changes made to them. lol
