I just bought a wd 45. The rims are loose on the wheels and I'm not sure how to tighten them up, and one rim is as far in as it can go the other is in as far as it can go. I need to know how to adjust them the same and tighten them.

All the WD's have the power shift wheels. It was an AC inovation at the time. Dave is correct on how to set them but he was not clear (to me) that you MUST tighten the cam locks all the way clockwise till they hit the stop before you use the tractor after adjusting the wheels.

Don- I drove a WD-45 for years as a kid on the farm. We had rims that had "z" shaped bars on the rims that allowed the wheels to be moved in or out with the power of the tractor (hold one brake and pop the foot clutch to rotate the tire). It was called "Power Shift" I believe. If that's what you have, first we had to remove the two stops on the rails and then loosen the 4 stud bolts about 3/4 turn each to loosen the clamps which grabbed the rails (each one usually has a finger-like knob which keeps it from turning more than so far). Each tractor came with a breaking bar and a doubled ended socket bar to do this. I did this many times but be careful to push down on the breaking bar . . . do not pull up toward your face! I learned the hard way at about age 15 when the bar slipped and I knocked myself out. Put a stop where you want the wheel to end up and apply power either in forward or revers depending upon which way you want the wheel to end up.When you have the wheel where you want it, tighten the top lug about 1/2 turn and then do likewise to the rest. Don't tighten any all the way to begin with. Reinstall the second stop. On a later model wide front WD 45 with power steering, you can even push or pull the front wheels in or out as well. Hope this helps a little.
