1953 on the WD45 as best I can remember.
Most problems can be solved with the proper application of high explosives.

Actually thr first 6000 WD-45's did not have a snap coupler. I'm sure most were retrofitted. CA got the snap coupler at the same time. I'm not sure if the rare snap coupler on a B was factory installed or a dealer installed item but there are a few out there.
Nothing is impossible if it is properly financed

You could have a B come with factory snap coupler, not sure if it was first though.
1950 B, 1952 pulling wd, and 1954 wd45

Actually Calvin, the snap coupler became standard equipment after the first approx. 6000 tractors, but it was available on all WD-45's. I doubt that many were sold without SC. dave

I don't have a snap-coupler on my C but I am curious how it looks and functions. Can someone post a photo of a snap-coupler so that I can see what advantages it provides. I am always amazed by the advertising hype over simple, obvious things; like the "Quick Hitch" on Lawn/Yard/Garden tractors. It's just a hole in a piece of metal that sticks out the back of the tractor, to which you place your implement tongue, with matching hole, and stick a pin through.

C's never had it. All WD's that have it were converted

Snap Coupler Components were only avalible for the B in a dealer add-on kit. Some may have been sold "new" with snap coupler, but it was something the dealer most likely did for the customer. It was never a "factory option" but rather a "dealer option".

Sorry for the no post. You have to type in your reply prior to hitting the enter key. I am not sure the first year the snap coupler came out, but my Dad got a new 1954 B and it came with the snap coupler, a snap coupler 2 plow (14 inch) bottom plows, a 6 foot snap coupler disc. It also came with the 2 peice cultivators. The 1949 B he had did not have the snap coupler attachment.
