Yo have a really rare WD45, cause they didn't come on the market till 1953.

It belongs to a buddy of mine..he wasn't sure of the year so said they were the same for a few years and guessed it was a 1950 model...no need for smart a$$ comments. We are all here to gain knowledge of this old iron...

MolineBob,
Thanks for the kind words in your remark.
If any time you don"t know the years that a particular tractor was built, feel free to ask, no one will laugh at you for not knowing. A person has to ask if he wants to gain knowledge.

The original manual called for 80-90. Universal transdraulic fluid is way better for protecting bearings and gears. My WD45 has had hytran in it for over 30 years and never had a problem.
