Hi, I found this site while looing for info about my new tractor. It's a 1948 Allis Chalmers (well it's new to me) s.n. WD8793 Eng.s.n. 284911PA. We moved to a 10 acer farm in n.w. Georgia and afriend bought the tractor for me. It will never see a parade or even a new paint job. I will be using it too much on the place. I've been pulling trees out of the ground with it. A local farmer gave me another one for parts. s.n.WD79520 Eng WD286702Pa. It came with a loader which I do not need. I have started removing all of the usable parts. The intake and carb was missing as well as the gas tank and hood, but has a nice grill. The engine is stuck so I'll try to rectify that. I do not know enough about the WD to ask intelligent questions so I just say there are things I want and things I don't want, so I'lll make a list.
I want,,,,a wide front end, 3 point hitch, a seat with a back, temp gage, bush hog, disk harrow. What I don not want or need, the loader, most everything I cannot just unbolt from the parts tractor. Cash is short here so if you want to trade I'm open to talk. My tractor runs great but shows it's age, about all I can say about the tires is they still hold air. I don't care about the rusted out fenders as I am a metal shaper and will make new ones. I also teach metal shaping and how to use the English wheel and other metal shaping tools.
I have pictures of the parts tractor but do not know how to post them on the site, if someone wants to see them and is willing to help post that would be great.
looking forward to hearing from other wd owners.

Keep the loader!!
Most are a hassel to mount and remove, but a loader is a real back saver.
If you have 10 acres, you will find many jobs made easier, safer, quicker, and cheaper with a loader.
Mine has served me well for over 20 years.

There was a time that I thought that a front end loader was not on my needs list. After about 5 years, I bought a tractor with one just to get the loader. Since then, the loader has become my most prized possession. Nothing else compares with it for saving back braking labor. DO NOT SELL YOUR LOADER!!!! You will come to realize its value in time and you will never regret keeping it.

You can buy new fenders for about $175 each, and a wide front end is likely to run about $400. Keep the loader- you"ll find innumerable uses for it. Especially as you age. A nasty habit that humans have developed.
