wd 45 crank installed in wd block

Call me a chicken I think I'll take my chances with 9.3 compression and leave the pistons alone. I will run high test and adjust the timing accordingly. Thanks to everyone for their input. I don't think I explained that I am doing two tractors. They are both wd45's but one had a wd engine in it. One has wide front and power steering (1955). I ordered the 8.2 compression pistons for the wide front wd 45 engine. I am locating 9 spring pressure clutches for each tractor. I had the radiators recored and the gas tanks lined . I sent the heads to the shop for valves guilds and seats. I have a spare wc and wd for parts. I still need to find snap couplers for the lift arms. The tires and rims on the wide front wd 45 are in great condition and calcuim filled. The tricycle (1954) has bad rims that I intend to replace and then fill them. The tires are excellent shape. I have 6 Allis plows . 3 -2 bottoms mounted , 2 - 3bottom mounted, and a 3 bottom drag plow. I have been pulling plows out of the snow every where on our farms. As Dr Aliis might remember I am going to try to out plow a Moline Ub special pulling a 2 bottom drag plow. The narrow front with the wd engine will pull a two bottom. The wide front will pull a 3 bottom. I will raise the left side of the tractor 6 inch and adjust the plow flat to the concrete floor. I intend to hang 2 weights on the left rear wheel of the wide front tractor.I would do both tractors but I only have two wheel weights. I will bolt a chain both to each front end. I figure about a 100 lb of chain up front should work well. I have a lot of chain, Don't ask. I will wire brush the boards and plow ahead of time to insure everything is operating and shined up as it should. If I can figure out how to load pictures I will try to post some. Thanks Ted

Sorry It should say chain box not both. I am using a steel box to hold the chain. The wd and wc are shares but ran a couple years ago when parked. I was going to sell one and cannibalize the other for parts. Which would be worth more? Ted

nuttin a little JB Weld can't fix!

I am still confident of this;
I will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living.
Wait for the Lord;
be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord. Ps 27

	My brother uses 4.125 WD pistons in his 4.5 45 crank and has never had any problems ,although he uses 89 or more gasoline.
