I have a few NOS partsthat are exclusive to the Waukesha Bs. ------------- If it was fun to pull in LOW gear, I could have a John Deere. If you can't make it GO... make it SHINY |

The tractor runs and drives great but the brass tag is missing. I have heard that this is not uncommon with these tractors. If anyone knows a way to find out what sn it is please let me know.

I respectfully disagree with the "rough" part Steve. This looks to be very decent original and they only come that way once!  ------------- http://www.ae-ta.com" rel="nofollow - http://www.ae-ta.com Lena 1935 WC12xxx, Willie 1951 CA6xx Dad bought new, 1954WD45 PS, 1960 D17 NF |

I wouldn't even THINK about repainting that tractor!!! clean it real good, rub it out some and wax it. That thing is real nice ------------- 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.

Here is an update on the project. It’s moving along slowly with all my other projects. I got the new tires on and the rims cleaned and also had the mag and carb rebuilt. And some help from Fred in Pa. ------------- 37 A,37 Waukesha B,35 WC,38 WF,M crawler,49 WF,49 WD,53 WD45,39 and 40 RC,47 WC,41 B,39 B,48G,48,C,59D10,D21,IB,B10,B12,B208,B1,Roto Bale Loader, sp100 combine, allcrop 66, L3 Gleaner |

I also found reproduction serial number tags and used old rivets to install it. I still do not know the serial number but I wish I could figure it out.  ------------- 37 A,37 Waukesha B,35 WC,38 WF,M crawler,49 WF,49 WD,53 WD45,39 and 40 RC,47 WC,41 B,39 B,48G,48,C,59D10,D21,IB,B10,B12,B208,B1,Roto Bale Loader, sp100 combine, allcrop 66, L3 Gleaner |

What a find. There were so few made. It runs too. How about that for an 83 year old tractor. Take special care of my favorite's original. You have history. Doesn't look too bad either. Good Luck! Bill Long |
