Here’s a couple more pics of it working those log tongs were my Grandpa’s he used in the early 1960s. Thought I would get them out and play with them one day.

Looks good-but I never tell my wife I'm playing with a tractor. Always doing some work!!!! No she doesn't believe me. Have fun.
------------- Everything is impossible until someone does it! WD45-trip loader 1947 c w/woods belly mower, 1939 B, #3 sickle mower 1944 B, 2 1948 G's. Misc other equipment that my wife calls JUNK!

As good as it looks I would wash and wax and save paint money

I agree with Tom, give it a good wash and wax. That is a nice looking WD. Are those combine rims on the rear?

The top of the hood is really bad I’m not going to do a tear down just some rattle can job. Here’s a pic of it after I first got it. I rattled can the whole tractor and the paint has lasted since 2004

great looking tractor! i also have a boom on my 180D, stays on all year, it's a 3 stage one that is hyd. made by AG KRANE. can lift with the 3-pt, or the boom only with hyd cyl and it can extend out too. i also have a grapple for it, works good grabbing a pile of brush or grabbing a big round bale.

Sounds like a Beast. I bought mine from TSC years ago it broke not long after I had it it very light weight just recently I had a friend weld it back together and he beefed it up.

Worked the Aills today. Raked some old Broom Sedge off my upper field set my Rake as low as I could to Dethatch it. Also move some Implements out of the woods so I get to them easier. To top a Beautiful day my wife made my Favorite Potato Soup and Homemade Pizza. She is a sweetheart.
