I need to, as its the only one I've ever seen. Just trying to remember the last time I had any contact with the owner reveals it closer to 10 years ago than yesterday. Time sure flys when you're not paying attention. I hadn't even thought about that tractor until today and this topic.

There isn't much a WC can't do.
WD's just do it better. |

AC WD45 - The WD45's shipped to Canada also had orange front rims and orange rear wheels.
My dad was an Allis dealer in southern Ontario starting in 1953.
I have a couple of pictures of me at age 7 sitting on the first pair of WD45's that he received.
In all those early years I never seen any WD45's with cream wheels.
In his later years (1990's) fathers hobby was refurbishing and painting old Allis tractors.
He always painted WD and WD45 front rims and rear wheels orange.

I've got a S 1 D17 with one orange front wheel, one cream. The rears are silver rims with cream centers. Also cream grill. You can see orange where the cream is peeling off. The hood decals are from a SII or SIII. Came from some place in WI, the dealer tag is still visible.
If I ever repaint I'm going to go with the cream wheels and grill. Just looks nicer than the solid orange. Not sure about the decals but I kinda like the newer large ones, might stick with them.
