New To AC - Purchased a WD

WD-48

Just purchased a WD. I really don't know much about AC's. Is their any sort of reference material out there that I can purchase, or a website with information such as casting numbers and serial number decoding? Also, I would like to stick a few parts into it possibly. Is their a good source for those? For sure I would like to purchase a manual for it, also thinking deeply on a new wiring harness. Also would like a good source for pictures of a stock unit.

Can anyone help me out there?

The WD is a good old tractor, about 35HP give or take a few. Serail numbers should be on the rear end left side as your look at it from the back if I remember right. Look on the right hand side of the engine, if it has a bolt on plate then it still has the WD engine in it. If it doesn't have that plate you have a WD-45 engine in it. I have a good number of parts for a WD, I took 2 and built one good one so I still have all the left over parts from doing that. E-mail is open. I'll be happy to help you all I can but theres other on here that will know more then I do.

Thanks! It has been converted over to LPG, the tank is mounted where the original gas tank was, and the hood has probably been cut out. I'm guessing that it has a gas cylinder head, but not sure. Would like to find a correct casting number for each, gas and LPG heads. It's a good runner! Super responsive governor and engine!! I'm used to the M Farmall and the MM's, so the governor and clutch are a little bit to get used to.

Right now it's considered a "runner". The battery box is rusted out a bit in the back, the dash panel piece is laying loose, and probably both need replacing. Needs gauges, wiring harness, live pto rubber handle, lights (?) for sure to restore it. Right now it has a single 2-position push/pull ignition switch, and i'm not sure on the condition of the light switch, but the knob is broke off. Amp gauge doesn't work. Like I said it has been converted to LPG, so some of those components and bracketry aren't correct. Is it possible to convert this tractor to dual fuel? What head, carb, vaporizer, and LPG tank did they use? This has a '55 tank. I've seen one picture on the net of a dual fuel model. Is it possible?

Thanks!

Thanks Steve! To speak the truth, I gave you a ring around 4:00 CST after finding some of your posts here. Got your answering machine, I guess I wanted to speak mouth to mouth and ask some questions.

BTW, I question what year it is now. I was told from a guy that the serial number shows it to be a 48, but after reading the serial number personally, it reads WD61345, which supposedly is a 50. I was told that the serial number was 2388, but not from what I see.

Well, a wiring harness and switches is mandatory. Do you have access to the components to convert it to dual fuel? That's my other objective that I would like to tackle. The other stuff is minor. Like I say, it's at least a good runner right now.
