There were 150 built in 1938 so chances are most of those were unstyled.

That's no good Fred. There's not even any paint scraped off the cutting edge! Gotta give it some "character". ; ).
------------- I didn't do it! It was a short, fat, tall, skinny guy that looked like me!

The first styled must have been 1938. Is that correct?

Yes, there were about 900 styled WC's in 1938 so some of the 1938 Maintainers could have been styled but most were probably unstyled.

You look like the King on the Maintainer Fred. As you know I have a '38 Unstyled Maintainer that I have shown at several GOTO's. I don't have a recent picture. The Maintainer owners club is very small!

The rear end in my pulling trctor came out of a maintainer. It has a real SLOW first and reverse and second is almost the same as 1st on a WC. What is the serial number stamped on rear end and did they have another nameplate/serial tag like the speed patrol?? Got my rear end from a neighbor that parted it out and when I got there this and part of the blade setup was all that was not cut up

I can explain it to you, BUT I cannot understand it for you!!

The Maintainer still had stardard WC rear gears.The W-Patrol had the real low gears that where even lower then the RC.My W-patrol in 2nd gear is same as Maintainer in 1st as you said.The maintainer also had the pressed steel rear wheels .When they changed to Patrol they done the heavy cast center with clamp rim's and lower gears .I have alot of Lit. on both unit's.
The Mainter has a tag with Maintainer on it up on left front frame for the mainter ,but still has the serial # stamped on raer center housing for the year .
Maybe the maintainer he parted was a late one at the end of production ,W Patrol did start in 1940 !

Fred, I made to the other shop and looked tonight. My serial number stamped on the rear end is 94741. That looks to be a 1940. I asked the guy and he said it was a narrow front WC with a blade under it. I did not see it, just going by what he said. By the way, nice maintainer!!
