Keep seeing references to styled tractors. What designates this?

I think typically unstyled is Pre-war, Styled is Post war.

In 1938 wc sheetmetal changed and would be basically the same through WD and WD45 series tractors with the rounded radiator guard and streamlined hood. earlier wc had only an optional radiator screen, radiator was visible, hood was very simple and gas tanks were not tear drop. Fenders changed. WF went through similar changes. Model B started in 38 started out with the styled look. I think the changes were to to modernize the wc with the introduction of the B
U and UC tractors were never styled but did have changes early on in sheet metal

Styled have sheet metal covering the radiator, a grill shell. Normally the lines of the grill shell flows into the hood and there are some sort of curves in the profile.
Unstyled have a cast radiator without a sheet metal cover- no grill shell. The hood meets the radiator directly and there are mostly straight lines in profile.

Us and UCs did have a cast radiator but the unstyled WC/WF did not have cast radiators. Their radiators were brass.
