Irv, I was just about to post the rediculous way the WD And WD45 were built and then I came to your post. You sure hit the nail on the head there. They were good old tough tractors but they sure quit early before they were done building it. In 1956 for example, compare it with the comforts of other models. It was a true dinasaur. I had one and I fixed it into a comfort model. I centered the steering wheel, centered the seat, lowered the clutch pedel, sawed off the hand clutch to where it did not fly back and hit you on the inside of the knee cap, and installed floor boards. I then made a nice dash board with all the controls within easy reach. It made a good driving, comfortable tractor out of it. Allis destroyed many good mens back with that crude old beast and never even got sued over it. I am not an engineer, just a retired beaurocrat, but I came up with a much better design than the Allis chalmers people. If they had built it like I did , they would probably have sold even thousands more of them, and I am sure many old farmers would have extended their careers for several more years.
