Does anyone have any information on the wd45 6 cyl gas tractors. Have heard that a batch of 45 diesels were returned to the factory and converted to gas 6 cyl engines. Also there were supposed to be a group of WD45 6 cyl gas tractors built at the factory and shipped south for cotton picker duty. Have heard rumors that they may have been called WD55 or WD55 six tractors. Anybody else out there heard of these tractors. A while back someone made scale models of the gas 6 cyl 45, maybe Ertl? Any information would be helpful, Ether positive info. or rumors accepted.

Duane,

Any WD45 with a 6-cyl gas has been converted from diesel to gas. I have seen several with this conversion. This was also common with D17 and D19 diesels.

The WD45 used the Buda 230 6-cyl diesel (the gas version used A-C's 226 4-cyl gas as I'm sure you know). There was also a 230 gas engine which basically used the same block. They will therefore interchange fairly easily. The 230 gas was used in the Gleaner "A" combine. The Cockshutt 40 and Co-op E4 also used the 230 (gas and diesel).

The 262 was the later bigger brother to the 230. The G262 and D262 was used the D19. The D17 used the G226 (4-cyl) or D262 (6-cyl). Therefore you may see an occasional D17D with a 262 gas (I used to have one). In fact, we also just finished converting a D19 diesel to a G262 gas.

This is probably more than you wanted to know, but to answer your question: none of the 12+ A-C books that I have (including Swinford's books) mention any WD45 230 gas models from the factory.

Good luck,
Brian
