What implements work on a 39 WC?

Normspeed · Jan 23, 2009

If I can pick your brains again, the WC I'm fixing up will be used for keeping my property cleared as well as some family and friends' property. A lot of that here in the high desert is done with a simple chain and drag setup. I'm wondering though, what other implements are made to work on a WC? It has a PTO, no hydraulics, has a pedal operated High-low setup that I haven't figured the use for yet, and a right side belt pulley not yet installed. I'd like to shop around for a front loader, scraper or plow, a rear PTO type mower or scraper or whatever is available for this type of tractor.

Sorry for being so uninformed, I love the WC and I'm really enjoying the mechanical freshening up part and the unbelievable ruggedness of it, and it has some sentimental value to me but this is my first tractor and I don't have an agricultural background to draw on.

Don't mind the car and truck tires, I have some nice front rims and on the hunt for some original style rear rims and tires. I already have both rear hubs and one rusted rim with a usable tire.

What you refer to as a hi-lo....foot pedal operated...is a mechanical power lift for a mounted row crop cultivator, or a mounted lister.

they had a mechanical lift for the cultivator or a hand lift, which
when I was a kid required me to stand up and pull down on the lift
lever. They also had a bale loader for round bales that went on the
side of the tractor. There was a side mounted mower that did a
good job.

Worst part was no power steering.

My grandfather bought his first tractor, a 1937 WC to take over the work of horses in 1938. In Minnesota it pulled a two bottom plow, 10 ft disk, 4 row planter, grain seeder, 4 sectioned drag, and 2 row cultivator.

The equipment that was used by horses was modified for use behind the tractor, including a horse drawn sicle mower and field rake.

For harvest time it pulled a grain binder, a windrower, a single row corn picker, and a 2 row combine with wisconsin engine. It would pull the wagons from the field and run the elevator that put the grain in the storage bin. Months later when the price seemed right, they would load the wagons again and use the tractor to haul the grain to the elevator and sell.

The farmers relied on all these old tractors, no matter what their color, to get the work done faster and to expand their operation into more land.

We still have the 37WC and it runs great. It has to be cranked to start it and my father says that it has more compression now then in the past. He's 90 years old and still run great also.
Best of luck

Thanks guys for the info. I think I'll keep an eye out for one of those side mowers.

Hi Chuck, until late last year, I lived in Glendora, just down the hill from you. Now I'm in southern New Mexico, which is also high desert, about 4500 feet altitude. Still just a stone's throw from the 10 freeway, it seems to run right through the middle of my entire life.
