Picked up a 1939 WC today. Looks like a few minor repairs and she's good to go. It has a couple of modifications that I'll have to find out about but all in all I'm pleased. I think I'll keep this one in her work close.

| I always did love the WC/WD/WD-45 styled tractor... And is that a Marvel Schebler carb I spy on that thing?

| Good looking WC, our local AC mechanic said they were his favorite tractor. I think he is only 84 now, slowed down this last year, might retire when he is 90 or so.

| Looks like a good tractor. Plowed for a neighbor who had one with hand brakes. No problems just kept your hands busy on the turn row. I was faster and more limber then, only 14.

| Hey, Retired...what makes it any more dangerous than anything else built in the 30's or 40's? I'll admit it helps to be a 4 arm monkey running one with hand brakes, but dangerous...?

| I like old tractors, but that thing looks absolutely dangerous. Don't think I would want to drive it.

| Looks good to me. I see a dist conversion, foot brakes, and some kind of aftermarket seat. Looks original other than those.

| That looks like the first tractor I drove 60 years ago. It was a 1941 WC. It had a different seat on it. Would really like to find it but I don't have the serial number. Really nice tractor. Thanks for the pics.

| Congratulations.
Looks good.
Don't see many with the original manifold any more.
