I have a WD45 that has a cracked block. I have decided not to continue with the restoration and would sell the entire unit. It is located in Central Indiana, I would like $500 OBO for the unit. Call 317-498-4296/E-mail davoakes@comcast.net

You are close to me, relatively speaking. I''ve got 2 WD's with cracked blocks and am looking at alternatives. "Stoppng the restoration" - were you restoring for a work tractor or for show?

Been wondering why an entrepreneur hasn't come out with a new block for these, or a new engine, or something...

Are the blocks cracked where they cause a bad leak or the just the typical between the liners stuff?

Dave, how far did you get into that WD45 resto?

Thanks for all the replies.

The reason I am selling is because my restoration purpose was for a show tractor and I wanted the original everything that came with the tractor in 1956. If I install a different engine then it would not be the same. Maybe I am a little odd in that way.

Later I talked to my sons and neither one of them are interested in it. I really do not want to haul it around to show and I do not want to keep it sitting in the barn. So I think the best is to sell it. I did not get far in the restoration. I started with the engine, I did not see the crack until I removed it and happen to see it , I think in a different light.

I believe it is now sold. A fellow is to pick it up tomorrow. If the deal falls through for some reason I will repost it.

Thanks for all the responses.

Sincerely,

Dave
