WCs are also my favorite. We have a '38 WC that makes right at 60 horse power. That's a pony or two more than it made in 1938!! Kip ------------- HANSEN'S OLD ORANGE IRON. Showing, Pulling, & Going!! |

60 horsepower? Wow! I thought more around 35 40. I like your collection. What do you prefer? Unstyled or styled? I personally like styled. |

Here's a pic of my styled WC named "Hercule's". The reason I named him that is because the previous owner used to use him to brush hog the property of Hercules Powder Co.'s site. I thought the name fit quite nicely! Steve@B&B   |

Can't say I've ever seen one of those. Is that a earlier version of the road grader? |

Is it easy to raise the blade on the grader with those hand wheels or is it pretty stiff. |

This is my own barn find. Belonged to my great-grandfather. Hasn't been run in about 30 years, but will never be sold. Still have the #10 two-row cultivator for it too.
Maybe someday...

So what is it Brian? a 34 or a 35? Do you know the serial number? I'm interested because of the RV4B mag. I have been told they weren't used on 35's and others say they were. ------------- http://www.ae-ta.com" rel="nofollow - http://www.ae-ta.com Lena 1935 WC12xxx, Willie 1951 CA6xx Dad bought new, 1954WD45 PS, 1960 D17 NF |

Charlie, I've got the serial number written down... darned if I can remember where I put it. I may go out to the farm this weekend and check the serial number; backside of differential right?
I'll try to get a couple more pictures too. The engine wasn't locked up when I pulled it in the crib driveway 30+ years ago, but it's tight now. Probably wouldn't take much to loosen it up.

Yep. Bring along a spark plug wrench and some ATF in a squirt can. While you're there, take each plug out and apply a liberal amount of fluid in each cylinder and stick the plugs back in.

Charlie, my WC is a 1936; serial #14981. Here are a few pictures of the mag, somebody the other day wanted to see a manifold, and I've included a picture of the front wheel. It's only a 5-bolt wheel which I'm sure was added after the original steel wheels were replaced (somebody ended up stealing the steel wheels ).
 Another shot
 It is a Fairbanks-Morse magneto model RV-4B

That's the same mag I have on my 35 now, it had been converted to a distributor years ago but that was junk when I got her out of the woods. Nice oil filter, I'd bet the filter hasn't been changed in a few years

Charlie,
FYI, I've done a few RV4 Mag's over the years for my customer's, and one of them the customer mentioned the Tractor was a 1935 WC. Not sure what years the other ones I've done were off of but they to were off WC's and one WF....

| That's just the way I like tractors. In their original "ugly" ;) state. Gives them personality in my opinion. I work with my neighbor on her old farm and she's getting up in age and I use her farmall H. Love it. Would love to see her get an old orange but the big red sure does the job well! |

Hey i was just wondering, is the 5 bolts on every wc wd? I keep seeing 4 bolts only. I'm looking to upgrade my 5020 which has small turf tires. Lawn tractor like, i would like some tires like the ones in my profile picture (which is not my tractor and all credit is to the owner) My 5020 has a 5 bolts like in your picture. |

AC5020, I own an M and I've owned an H too. A lot of descriptions come to mind for an H but "big" would not be one I'd have thought of. Never the less if it's an old tractor they're usually fun to run. ------------- AGCO My Allis Gleaner Company |

Allis5020,
At one time I believe there may have been some six-bolt front hubs for the WC. Not sure of the year/timeframe. Someone else on here I'll bet knows for sure.
