Pics of WD and WD45 Distillate tractors

Good looking pair there Mike. Think you left my tractors about 800 miles short of home. LOL

When you find yourself in a hole,PUT DOWN THE SHOVEL!!!

He will work his tractors, they are not just toys.

3 WD45's with power steering,G,D15 fork lift,D19, W-Speed Patrol, "A" Gleaner with a 330 corn head,"66" combine,roto-baler, and lots of Snap Coupler implements to make them work for their keep.

Dave, I never put it on a dyno but I reused the old original low compression pistons so it is a dog compared to the 45 gas. The guy I got it from always regretted that they bought the distillate but kept it anyway.

The 14th Annual Exclusive AC Swap Meet will be held in Boonville, MO, March 7-8, 2025. See the club website for details: http://www.moacclub.com/

My B had kero pistons in it until this summer. I always knew it was a kero tractor because it has the starter gas tank and a "K" in the engine serial number, but I figured it had been overhauled before. Nope! Still had all standard bearings with A-C numbers, and the low compression pistons.

Has a lot more power with the CA flat tops in it!

Why do you have to have low compression for kerosene?

Also, why does that WD45 have an angled under the hood exhaust pipe? Was that just a kerosene thing?

Thanks

Kerosene has low enough octane that the compression must be low or you would get such bad pre-ignition (pinging) that it would not be able to perform well at all.

The kerosene manifolds have the exhaust heating the intake loops and this way the smoke comes out on the side. The kerosene vapour has to be very hot for the engine to run well. That little stub of an exhaust pipe will be enough noise for sure if you're ploughing all day or doing other hard work. Our tractor still came with a full height spark arrest muffler and two steel rod supports down to the hood. Working one of these tractors hard by the hour would have the manifold red from heat.

Currently- WD,WC,3WF's,2 D14's B. Previously- I 600,TL745,200,FL9,FR12,H3,816 LBH. Earth has no sorrow that Heaven cannot heal!
