In Reply to: Axle for W4 posted by Ron Haling on December 16, 2009 at 15:24:33:
The wheels and axles for a W-4 and W-6 are different. The 6-series axles, like those for the Farmall M are of larger diameter than those for the 4-series and Farmall H. However, the 24 inch rims which used on both the early W-4 and W-6 should be the same and if you have the original 24 inch wheels, which did not change with the change to 26 inch rims (the 24 inch rims were 2 or 3 piece rims as they had no drop-centre to let you get the tyre over the lip of the rim) whereas the 26 inch rims were one-piece with a 1 inch drop- centre. The early W-6 used the same 26 inch drop-centre rims from about 1942 onwards which is about the same time that the W-4 also went to the 26 inch drop-centre rims. Later still the W-6 went to 28 inch rims which involved a new larger diameter wheel centre and then later again they went to a larger drop-centre to use 30 inch rims. The early wheels for both 24 and 26 inch rims had round holes in the wheel whereas the larger wheels later used on the W-6 with 28 and 30 inch rims had more rectangular holes in the casting to give a more spoked appearance.

At any rate we decided that a compression test was in order so we could verify the internal engine status. That way we wouldn't buy any tune up parts until we were sure that the engine was in reasonable mechanical condition. Our tests showed a fictional compression reading of 85, 80, 82 and 86 psi. That is well within a
