I have a 1954 Allis-Chalmers WD45 I am in the process of restoring. The only thing (so far) I have not been able to find are the Lift Arm Ends. I am only interested in the 1954-56 style.  Does anyone have a set they are willing to part with or know where I can find a set? Thanks, Stan Green

Thanks for the info, Mikez. So when you say "Then eventually the numbers were replaced with 243996" does this mean they stopped making four models and only made 243996? Thanks, Stan Green

| The last couple generations of lift arm latches were amidextrious and worked right or left with the setscrew always on the outside of the lift arm. |

The sets of numbers are left an right part number. I’m not sure exactly what year but for example if you look up 330134 in master numerical book from 1969 it will say use 243996. And like dr says. Went to one latch instead of L and R. And little heavier built

Thanks. I am more looking to get it back to how it came out of the factory. Not so much on making it the best for work. It will be mainly a show tractor with maybe some light farm work. So I want to sick with the earlier version lift arm ends. BTW: I do have one broken one and the number on it is 326532 so it does not match any of the numbers posted here. This one has the set screw on the right. It looks like the one in the picture I posted but the other side. If I can find one matching one, I might be able to restore the one I have.

At time they were made the top latch was separate part number and could be ordered to replace. I think |
