It is common for WD45's, I had one with an M&W kit and one with later style Allis Chalmers 170 pistons. I usually check them with a compression test and bore scope. I have since sold those two and never had a chance to dyno them.
My neighbor used to grind cattle and hog feed on PTO of his WD-45 after work. In the winter it would be getting dark and the muffler would get a beautiful orange pumpkin glow. Those were special times that I miss to this day. What is that you are pulling, a dyno for horsepower? I couldn’t find anything on line.
When new,the 45's were noted for a " cackle ". I recall that, but despite owning an using several, never heard. And how unfortunate that the 6 cylinder diesel version was never practical. Even the D-19, a perfect size, also had similar difficulty. Our local dealer recommended against these. Sad.
Cool, often tractors that old have been rebuilt with an "overbore" kit. Never checked if that was common with WD45s though.

A prony brake, it is a device to measure horsepower. Similar to a dynamometer.

How was it not practical?
Were you doing carb adjustments on the fly towards the end??
I was making sure the throttle was opening all the way.
