So I went to look at a WD45 with a young man that has caught orange fever from me. Trouble is when we got there it was a WD with WD45 decals. It was a decent looking tractor, straight sheet metal, decent tires and converted to 12 volt. The catch is it's been living under a tarp and hasn't been run in years. We didn't look at it very close since Chris has his heart set on a WD45.

However I've been thinking, I could use a set of rear tires for my WD, he was asking $800 for it, assuming it's not stuck do you think I could buy it, swap my tires and wheels and resell it (hopefully running) for close to what I'd have in it? I really don't have the heart to part out or scrap a complete tractor and the last thing I need is another project.

Hey Dave, if your wanting to do the switch, go back with a crank handle to see if its's stuck or not. Ask more ?'s how long it set, orig. owner or selling it for someone, ser.# etc,etc. If it 's stuck, offer $350-$400, make the switch, sell it for the same. All your out is your time, but you've got an upgraded set of tires.

Keep in mind if it has been sittting for 8-10 years or so, those tires might not be any better than the ones you have. sitting in 1 spot is hard on tires, they like to rot on the bottom.
