| Welcome! You are about to enter a group of some of the most intelligent tractor fans you could ever ask for(not including myself) whether you want to make a frame up restoration or a original worker, there are plenty of experts here. But some one else needs to warn you about shameless and his machine |

Welcome to the Allis forum! Good looking WD45! Do you have plans for it? Looks like you have future generations interested in it also! You should be able to find just about all of the information about these tractors here. Then there are several good suppliers. (not sure about parts going across the boarder?) And then there is Shamless!

| Welcome, family tractors are a special connection you have with the past. I have had many tractors but never one with a family connection I envy you. |

| Don't ask why I know this but make sure all of your steering linkage and connections are snug other than the usual expected wear in the usual places. There are only 2 bolts which hold the steering arm (connected to the tie rods) to the fork shaft and if they let go or fail you've lost steering. They can work loose & egg out the threads in the fork shaft. Just something I wish I knew before it happened. Good Luck. |

| She's a good looking ol 45. Dad bought 1 new the same year along with a 3x16 snap coupler plow. I learned to drive on it in 1957. We still have it too. Yours looks better. |

I went a different way. I made up a new shaft and installed a bushing in the clutch pedal and right brake pedal. Your way works too. ------------- http://lonsallischalmers.com |

| New clutch cross shaft is available at Steiner. And not too much money. And then rebush pedal. That will tighten up your brake as well. |
