1950 McCormick Deering WD-9 Cold Start

1950 McCormick Deering WD-9 Cold Start at 40 Degrees F, not the greatest quality but pretty cool to see a 62 year old diesel tractor start in the winter. One of two WD-9s we have, started the other the same day with a crank good running old tractors.

Spent much of my youth on the seat of a WD9. She would blow the prettiest smoke rings when started on a cool morning. 😃

Sounds good for a cold start and run

[@kenblazierii3325]

Yeah, he started it on gas then went to diesel. Just had to replace the ring gear in my WD9.

[@johnyoars7077]

Diesel pump leaking diesel into cylinders when on gas. I always have lever wide open when switching from gas to diese,/

[@bossco09]

I was asked to tow a WD9 with our W30 mccormick deering at a vintage machinery display,the W30 towed it fine much to my surprise but the WD9 didn't want to start.........

[@rickswanstrom6802]

Too much choke on the first try. Too rich runs cooler, doesn't warm as much. If it doesn't "catch" on diesel, just switch back to gas before it dies. Been running a cloan to this for over 50 years, (since I was 10) so I know.

The man on the tractor has been running a WD9 one for that long too. This was probably the second time he had started this particular tractor after buying it, so we were still learning its quirks.

Is it just me or I’m hearing cows mooing in the beginning of the videos 😂😂?

[@braddobson2060]

Thank for the memories

[@dlzastera]

Nice video runs good. I just bought a SWDR9 in Minnesota for 1,500. Needs a little work but it’s all there. 👍
