A few weeks ago I did the complete hydraulic hold adjustment on my wd45. Then a couple of weeks later I installed the pipes to hook both cylinders to the same outlet. Today I finally used my snap coupler blade for dirt work and it worked like a new tractor. I never could get the blade to work right because the hold setting was not correct. Thanks to everyone who put information on here about adjusting the linkage. I mounted the blade and let the tractor set (engine off) blade up and it did not drop a bit. It never ever did that before. I never put the tractor away with the implement in the air, but today I put a block under the blade so I could replace a couple of the blade bolts and it did not drop. :-) I bought the new bolts from the local JD dealer :-( |

Isn't it great when something works out good! Those WD's and WD45's are hard to beat. Are you sure those green bolts will work??? LOL

Dennis what did you do to- "A few weeks ago I did the complete hydraulic hold adjustment on my wd45" ?? What is that mean? My Wd doesn't hold worth anything. so I am interested. I am so happy to hear things are working right! Mike ------------- It is great being a disciple of Jesus! 1950 WD, 1957 D17...retired in Iowa, |

Mike in the operators manual there is a hydraulic section that has the pump linkage adjustment. Follow the step by step instructions. My adjustments were not off very much but it sure made a difference. I also plumbed both rams together because I don't need the delayed lift as used with the cultivator. This is a system ahead of its time. It had low volume high pressure, I think every one else had low pressure high volume. I am not familiar with tractors like MM, Case, and Massy in the 50's. The draft was sensed off the bottom linkage, it took some companies years to figure out that the third (top) link on the 3 point did not give the best results. Hope this helps because operating the rear blade is such a pleasure now. Dennis |

Then you probably paid about three times what they are worth.  |
