I have a 1950 WD that has a terrible howel in the rear end ,right side I think, it has been ther for many years. It is especially bad at low speeds under load. Where do I start looking? Is this common? What is the most likely cause? All help is greatly appreciated.

Dave is referring to the "final drive" gears and he is right, they do tend to howl. I would definitely pull the pan and drain it. At the same time, check the condition of the gears and the axle bearings. I know a guy who had a bad rear axle bearing in his WD and let it go until it wore the housing to the point where it will no longer hold a bearing.

Your howl is "nature of the beast" That is one
reason the 45s had helical cut gears as opposed
to the straight cut ones in the WD

Well they all howl a lot, these are straight cut gears but if one side is louder you probably need oil in there. There is a pipe plug on the side of the rear wheel gear housing on the tractor side. The grease should be up to that hole, fill with (if I remember right) 90W gear oil. If you have water in there you have to remove the pan at the bottom, below this hole and clean and refill, need a new gasket too.
