Morning to all,

I have just acquired a free 1955 WD-45 with some attachments but what I really need is a post hole digger. Always had plans of restoring an old tractor and they have come true, so I would like to keep the attachments as true as possible. Can anyone point me in the right direction to locate and buy one of these. I've only seen pictures on the internet and really have no idea where to start. Thanks in advance.

I have one in Ohio that fits a wd or wd45 but its not AC. Keep your eye on the For Sale section.

ACnewbie,
Welcome to the forum. Certainly if there is one to find, the gang on here will know where they are. In addition there is plenty of know-how to help you in putting everything together. Great little tractor you have there. If you haven't already, post in the classifieds with "Wanted" in the subject

Cheers,
John

There were 2 types, I think the Roper made unit was the one for the WD's...

Dad had 1 that slid over the snap coupler arms. It did not attach to the snap coupler under the tractor. We drilled hundreds of holes with it. I liked it better than the neighbors that did attach to the snap coupler under the tractor.

John thank you for tip, that would make more sense.
