Re: Opinions requested on the WD45 please

: What do people think of this machine? Is it good for GP work? What are the known mechanical pitfalls of this tractor?

: Is leaking oil everywhere but I thought it might be an easy tractor to do my first tear-down. I know the guy who is selling it. He says it is a good runner that does not burn oil and hydraulics work well. He will probably sell it to me relatively cheap. It has a 3pt on it.

: Thanks

Please don't lie to the gentleman my neighbor had one and couldn't pull a hen out of a nest.

I suppose their are always going to be some who disagree, however, my first introduction to the WD45 came in 1958 when my Uncle bought one to replace his Massey-Harris #22. The WD45 has been on the farm ever since and today it runs almost like new. They are simple to work on. Relatively inexpensive to repair/restore and should handle most of the jobs you have in mind. I like them to much I just bought another one -- they suit me fine. Of course, I never used it to pull a hen out of a nest, but then again, who would!

My great unlce has one that has been on the farm ever since my great great grandpa farm and it is a really good running tractor. Plus it has not had any major maintance but still runs like a top. It has done just about anything you can think. From sawing wood to grading the lane,plowing the garden, hauling hay and etc. So i would say that the WD45 is a good pick.
Where did the chicken come in must of been a realllll lllll lllll y stupid one .
