That’s a decent looking tractor. Sounds really nice. Are you going to put it back to work where it belongs or will it be a show piece. You said you were from Pa. I’m from Pa. also, Armstrong County to be fairly exact. What part of Pa. are you from if you don’t mind me asking.

I am surprised to learn from your video that your tractor does not have a distributor & coil, instead of a magneto. It has been my understanding that 1946 was the last year of the magneto ignition system. Also there is no hydraulic system on your tractor. By 1950 hydraulic systems were pretty much standard equipment on most farm tractors.
@@jamesolson9423 I believe the magneto was an option up through the 60s. The casting codes on this W6 are all from late 1949 so it would be an early 1950. The other possibility is that it could have been changed to a magneto at some point. A lot can happen in 75 years. I do believe hydraulics could be added by either a front crank mounted pump, or after around the 50 model a pump could be added off the distributor drive.

@@Biggestfoot10209 Thank you. I plan to fix it up mechanically so it is usable. Mifflin county is where I’m from.

@@sterff89 My Father had 1946 W-6, & it did not have hydraulics. But it was a good very durable tractor.
@@jamesolson9423 That’s neat! I am really liking it so far. I’m going to look for an old rope trip plow for it at some point.
