The straight shift lever was for a transmission with straight cut gears (most WDs) while the curved shift lever was for the tranmissions with helical cut gears (late WDs and WD45s). The helical cut gears can handle more torque than straight cut gears generally speaking. The WD45 is mainly just more powerful than the WD. It had a 201 cu in motor from the factory (a 226 with a shorter stroke and taller pistons). Overall, the tractors are very similar other than the motor and the transmission gears. A WD45 is worth a little more than a WD in the same condition. Good luck Hurst
