I got my WD45 out of the shed today. Had not been out for two years. Been started every year but it got to see daylight today. Put new gas in it and charged battery and it took right off. Bladed the drive way with it. Learned to drive on a 45 about 55 years ago. Still like to drive it around. Only wish it had power steering. My power is almost gone. rrhead(SD)   ------------- 2 WDs,WD45,D-14,D-17,D-19D,180,7020,6080FWA,6080 2wd, 6080 2wd(cab),8050FWA,8550,4W-305,Massey 8250.

| Looks nice and original. I think you will have to find a reason to get her out more often for a ride. |

| That sure is a straight old tractor. Not much metal work at all and it would be ready for paint, but it would look better in the field just the way it is. Thanks foe sharing. |

Thanks for all the comments. Yes, it was a diesel at one time. Engine was replaced with a D17 engine before I got it. Bought this on a farm sale many years ago. Wasn't running very good then and found out rocker arm assembly was broke in several places. Replaced that and has been running great ever since. Paid $600 for it. rrhead(SD) ------------- 2 WDs,WD45,D-14,D-17,D-19D,180,7020,6080FWA,6080 2wd, 6080 2wd(cab),8050FWA,8550,4W-305,Massey 8250.
