G'day folks, just letting you know my WD45 Diesel has landed here in Australia. Never ran one of these before and it has sat for a number of months on the boat ride here. Is there anything I need to look out for before starting it or any special tricks? Cheers, Richard  ------------- WD(NF), WD45(WF), WD45D(WF), XT190D(WF), Model U, Gleaner C, All Crop 60, Rotobaler |

WOW, that is nice... Considering the condition, i would assume SOMEONE prepped it for the "trip".....Setting inside or boxed up for a few months is not a major problem.. You might pull a fuel filter and look inside.. see what things look like.. I would make sure the tank was emptied, then put a gallon of diesel in , check engine oil level, and go for it !! ------------- Like them all, but love the "B"s. |

Goodness mate, you sure bought a sweet looking one!! You will be the envy of all your tractor mates. Check the tank for fuel, check fluid levels, turn on the fuel and give the ole gal a whirl. She sure is a nice looking one and I hope she runs as good as she looks!! ------------- 1968 B-208, 1976 720 (2 of them)Danco brush hog, single bottom plow,52" snow thrower, belly mower,rear tine tiller, rear blade, front blade, 57"sickle bar,1983 917 hydro, 1968 7hp sno-bee, 1968 190XTD |

Thanks mate, it is nice and looking forward to using it once released by customs. It came from an auction so I don't know the exact history and have not seen it run hence being a bit cautious. Cheers, Richard

That's a great looking tractor. You will enjoy it. I have a gas WD45. Nice to know it came from the Polk Auction. They are only about 50 miles from my house!
