I first stumbled across this WD45 at the beginning of the year while volunteering for a historic society to document this property. Returned this weekend and finished recording the buildings on what turned out to be the last nice day of the year...sunny and 60 -vs- gray skies, gusting wind, blowing snow and 30 out today. I cleared the brush and grapevine off the tractor and took some pics as the light grew low..... http://s88.photobucket.com/user/jml77/media/Tractors/IMG_0296.jpg.html" rel="nofollow">  http://s88.photobucket.com/user/jml77/media/Tractors/IMG_0297.jpg.html" rel="nofollow">  http://s88.photobucket.com/user/jml77/media/Tractors/IMG_0298.jpg.html" rel="nofollow">  http://s88.photobucket.com/user/jml77/media/Tractors/IMG_0305.jpg.html" rel="nofollow">  http://s88.photobucket.com/user/jml77/media/Tractors/IMG_0303.jpg.html" rel="nofollow">  http://s88.photobucket.com/user/jml77/media/Tractors/IMG_0302.jpg.html" rel="nofollow">  http://s88.photobucket.com/user/jml77/media/Tractors/IMG_0304.jpg.html" rel="nofollow">  |

It has this solenoid looking thing with a push button built into it's backside. No wires going to it anymore. Not sure what it was for.... http://s88.photobucket.com/user/jml77/media/Tractors/IMG_0301.jpg.html" rel="nofollow">

I wonder if that push button activates the solenoid, delivering power to the starter??? It'd be a great project to bring her back to life....will you have that opportunity? If so, good luck! Dave ------------- WC, CA, D14, WD45 |

| Wow, those front wheel weights and D-17 rear wheel weights are worth as much as the tractor itself! |

Has the Allis wheel weights on the front, but I think the rear wheel weights are from a D series tractor. Has chains and a loader with a BIG snow bucket. ------------- "Allis-Express" 19?? WC / 1941 C / 1952 CA / 1956 WD45 / 1957 WD45 / 1958 D-17 |
