Well I won't call it a restoration. Just preserving it from rust :)
It is number 60

Very cool. I'd like to hear more about this tractor and the model WF in general. I'm Allis Chalmers for nearly 70 years but never
saw a WF other a very few in shows.

My father purchased it from his brother in 1966. It came from the Crookston MN area. The farmer that was on the farm prior to my uncle was killed on it when he crossed a dead farrow and the plow handle hit him. That is the story we were told. That radiator was damaged when the tractor came to stop against a cotton wood tree in the grove. I replaced that radiator a few year ago. I still have it and it does not leak. My dad removed the top tank and straightened it best he could and soldered it back on. We overhauled it in the seventies when I was a teenager.
It has so much compression I can only turn one cylinder at a time. No electric start on this one. It has the original carb and magneto on it. There were only a little over 8000 WF's built from 37-52 or something like that.
 
Here are some pix of mine- bought it in northern MN. Complete pic is "before"...nice paint job but put over grease...wrong front wheels, lots of issues on a pretty piece. Other two pix are "in progress", showing how much it got torn down, and painting parts.

Unstyled WF...1937-1940. SN 4-1903.
Styled WF.....1940-1951. SN 1904-8353

Mine is a 1949. WF is basically a WC wheatland tractor- rear end is different to make a lower profile. Has belt pulley and pto, but I don"t know of any mounted equipment. All are fixed wide front ends, with shallow clearance. They are made to pull. Most were shipped to Dakotas, MT, and Canada...wheat country.
