Picked up a 1939 WC today. Looks like a few minor repairs and she's good to go. It has a couple of modifications that I'll have to find out about but all in all I'm pleased.

Great find, looks like good rubber too. I see a switch mounted under the throttle and one on the electrical box under the gas tank, which is the ignition and which is for the lights? Different set-up for choke and starter rods. Modifications look rather well done, suppose engine oil was clean and full as well as antifreeze in radiator also.

Joe, looks like you got the fever! ------------- Good judgment comes from experience. Experience comes from bad judgment. From listening comes wisdom and from speaking comes repentance. Wise men learn more from fools than fools from the wise. |

great find. It would have had a Magneto from new. I have noticed quite a few that have been updated to distributer ignition at some point.
I think that changes and upgrades like that are part of the history of them and should be preserved. ------------- The universal answer to all questions is yes, how much do you want to spend? |

My '45 WC has the wartime rear end and the original tires all around!
Even had the original Delco battery when I got it....and is all stock. Steering wheel and knobs are original and in great shape.

Dave,
I was going to bring the C like I told you but I ordered some parts from one of the sponsors on here and didn't expect my order was going to come from multiple places. Only some of the needed parts have arrived so far.
As for the WC, I need to do some things before I take her anywhere yet.------------- Joe's 1939 Model WC, 1940 Model RC, 1944 & 1950 Model C's, B-125 PU |

| There is something about the WC tractors that they always seemed so big to me and still do. Probably my favorite Allis is styled WC. TGhat is a very nice WC. |
