I have a 1948 Allis WD with a WD45 engine in it. I have been trying to figure out how the lift works. It has a 3 point conversion on it now, was done years ago by previous owner. Ive been considering going back to the original hitch if I cant get this one to work. What was the original hitch, was it a snap coupler? The current hitch has a bracket welded on in front of the control rod that goes from the hydraulic pump to the actual hitch itself under the tractor. My operators manual doesn't show it, is this bracket supposed to be there, and what would it adjust? Also there is a big flat spring in front of the main hitching point under the tractor. Ive been looking at other WD's and haven't seen another one like it. The 3 point that is on it has the "height adjustment" for the lift arms positioned way back on the lift arms. It looks to me like this would make all the "pull" when pulling an implement go to the rocker shaft instead of the arms to work the draft control for weight transfer. Does it look like I need to move the height adjuster pieces back further on the lift arms towards the tractor and away from the ball on the lift arms? Will this 3 point set up allow any weight transfer? Currently when I try to plow the plow goes down into the ground until it is buried and the tractor will not pull it. That is with a 3 point 2-16 Ford plow without a gauge wheel. A friend said I may need a gauge wheel and never get the lift to work with the 3 point, is he right?
Another question I have is about the hose between the carburetor and the air cleaner, the hose goes up into the air cleaner, is this correct or is it supposed to go over the cleaner assembly and have a clamp on it? Was wandering if I had the wrong carb?
