Some question

that left fender looks like a good place to eat a lunch on

I think that is a Wagner loader....and they were made for AC as well. I have one similar on an Allis RC.

I would love to WF my WC.....I dont know why, I just like the looks of a WF. 

Well it looks a little cobbled up, but for a cup a coffee I think ya did done good... here's a pic of mine, a bit uncluttered

I will put up a pic tomorrow. Its buried in snow at the moment and i don't feel like shoveling lol.

I have an OEM service manual for WD part #79003405 and it has a decent section for the FM mags, the pictures aren't much but the description is decent.

I already have a I&T shop manual. Its probably the most worthless manual I own. I literally have over 100 different shop manuals ranging from garden tractors to semi's and this I&T shop manual is by far the worst.

I got the price for the cap and rotor from my local dealer. The cheapest I have found  on the internet was $55 for the cap at tractorparts.com.  I will put the mag model number on here as soon as I get a chance to go look at it.

I'm not getting rid of the tractor nor parting it out. I will eventually get to fixing it up nice but right now I have a old case garden tractor I am re-doing and a 83 dodge p/u I am repainting. I just want to get the ac running and get the loader off. My sparkle wrench will take care of the loader this weekend and I will put up some good pics after.

Norm Swinford's book shows a Styled WC with WFE on page 49.  He says that 1947 and 1948 production records offered an adjustable WFE.  I could scan the picture, but you should really get the book.  Vendors on this page sell them, but you can still get them from Norm, and if you ask him he will autograph it.  Got mine at TSC and the only autograph involved was mine on the check.  I use mine every day and it is starting to look like it.  Maybe I should get another before he discovers how much more it is worth with his signature on it.

I'd advise you to put your tractor on EBAY and take the $$$ and go get a nice upgrade that you will like.

I would look around for used tires if you want it working without a lot of expense. Buy a new water pump, people that have had experience rebuilding them have said it will save you time and grief and maybe money  to buy new. If you look around, you might find a working mag at a swap meet or such for less money than the new parts but it might not work long.  

I will try to put up some pics tomorrow or sat. Its definatly a wc wide front. The only weird thing is that I haven't been able to find any pics of a styled wc with a wide front.
