We have a super tight deadline on ths old gal!
First of many videos to come showing the transformation of this allis wd45. Dropped off from a great customer of mine who wanted to give his late father in laws tractor a new lease on life! Did i mention this has to be completed for christmas with only a month left. Lets see if i can make the dead line! Follow along with me, watch to find out how she turns out.

Bottom end looked perfect.

Just keep in mind that power steering is impossible to buy parts for. Take the power steering setup off if you’re going to blast it. Very expensive to work on

Thank you for the info! Everything I took off is on the shelf safe and sound

My WD45 has 14/9/28s on the rear and they are ROTTEN. What other size could I put on these rims.cant find any used 14/9/28s anywhere in quincy indiana.

I’m still in the process of sourcing tires myself, keep watching for future videos on this allis build though we will come up with a solution I haven’t gotten that far just yet

we use 169 28s

[@justinblain928]

Those are M&W pistons. Far more power than aftermarket of today.

[@justinblain928]

I’m interested in the pistons you pulled out if they are Forsale

Take your side grinder and cut that little screw that holds the hood at the fuel tank!

What year did Allis put power steering on the WD 45. We had several and none of them had power steering

[@mikefuhrman458]

WD's and WD45's could be ordered with the power steering. Stickly an option, never came standard.

[@user-kt6vl6zk6e]

you need to put a D17 manifold on it!! we do that lot better to keep water out l will be watchin!!!

[@Oldironrevivals]

Awesome thanks for the info! I’ll ask the owner and see what he wants to do

[@justinblain928]

They sell the correct Nelson muffler again which is better than the d17 manifold setup. Nelson mufflers shroud the top of the manifold and with a rain cap they actually don’t allow any water in
