I had to go back through my reference material to find out what you guys were talking about - the traction booster system = the hydraulic system.

Reference says the top line on the hydraulic system decal was changed in February 1956 to read Traction Booster System. Who says this web site isn't educational. I own two WD's and didn't know that.

The decal may have been changed in 1956 but the WD had the traction-booster in 1948 when it was introduced. Even the prototype had it. Also AC called it traction-booster right from the very beginning. Anyone who has ever used an AC tractor with ground engaging equipment out to know what traction-booster is. I still don't know for sure if there was a gauge to show that the system was working on the first WD's. The ones I know of have the gauge but it could have been added I guess. The system does not need a gauge to work. There are lots and lots of tractors out there with broken gauges that work just fine. They even sell dummy gauges for those who don't want to spend the steep price for a working gauge. As AC used a high pressure hydraulic system the gauges are not easily replaced because most aftermarket hydraulic gauges are low pressure.
