First off, there is no such thing as an Allis Chalmers WD-40. AC made a WD from 1948 till 1953, then a WD45 from 1953 till 1957. If the tractor is a 1951, it' a WD. The WD tractor had about 28 hp at the drawbar. In running conditon a WD is worth between $600 and $1200. A lot depends on tires and condition of the sheet metal and of course how good it runs. You want to drive the tractor down hill in each gear and let off the gas to make sure it does not jump out of gear. This is an all too common problem caused by operators grinding the gears when shifting rather than waiting for the tractor to shop and shifting properly. It's a pretty expensive fix if the transmission is worn out. A new 3 point conversion for a WD is about $300. The AC WD hydraulic system was one way, high pressure, and low volume. To convert it you will need a new hydraulic pump that you can rig to run off the crank. You'll also need a storage tank and of course to plumb the system. In my opinion, an $1800 WD would need to be in top notch shape, with GOOD tires and the engine work that you mention, other wise it's way to high. It is a great tractor however.

Although he himself has never actually owned or restored a tractor, he was always enthusiastic and always around helping with other peoples projects.
