| ok, I'm new on here. I traded for a allis chalmers, the guy I got it from said it's a wd45. I'm not sure if it is or not...he said he changed the shifter in it to a straight one, instead of a curved one it had. Now its hung in reverse and the shifter moves freely. I've never dug into a tractor before i need all the help and info I can get. I know the tractor was hard to put into gear at a stop, if that helps in any way. I understand you can't shift while moving because it's not syncronized. |

Sounds like your shifter has fell out of the slot. I've seen it happen before when the end gets worn. The common fix is to pull the shifter, take a screwdriver and line the forks up, weld up the worn spot on the shifter, and grind it back down where it moves freely in the forks. |

The first thing I would do is ,pull the rubber up on the shift lever, take the snap ring out,pull the shift lever out with care not to lose the 2 little pins on each side of the lever.Take a flashlight look in & see if all 3 forks are lined up.If it is in reverse,the left fork will be up,if it is take a long screwdriver & pop it back in line with the other 2 forks.

| The gear shift lever from a WD will not work in the WD45 shift tower. Only way to tell if you have a wd or a wd45 is the serial number, located on the left axel houseing just below the brake shoe cover. |

might be away for the original guy to "say" he has a 45, when it's actually just a WD.
Oh, it's a 45 alright, I just changed the shifter, installed a shorter head, oh, and accidentally ran my grinder accross the serial number.....
but it's a WD45, really! ------------- Raised on a CA,WD,D10 & D15. Now, proudly own and pull a WD45 high crop, WD45, WC, also own a D-10, D-12, G and a CA. |

If it has a 6 bolt pannel on the distributor/mag side of the motor, it's a WD ------------- German Shepherd dad 1957 Allis Chalmers WD45 #WD234847 1951 Allis Chalmers WD #WD88193 |

I'm just giving him a dead give away, as the 45 Never had that panel. Just like a curved shifter doesn't mean a WD45, but if its a straight shifter, it's a WD. or atleast a WD rear end. ------------- German Shepherd dad 1957 Allis Chalmers WD45 #WD234847 1951 Allis Chalmers WD #WD88193 |

If you bought it for $300, you got a great deal, no matter what shape it is in, and it sounds like it runs, you are way ahead. Most of the time I will give around 300-400 for a non running stuck WD or WD45. If they run, and aren't all beat to heck, with most everything there, they sell in the $1000.00 to $1500.00 range all day, the really nice straight original, on new rubber ones bring more sometimes, but not always. So bottom line, I think you did really well, and once you get it out of reverse, you can run it for years, if you are very deliberate in your shifting pattern. ------------- Still in use: HD7 WC C CA WD 2-WD45 WD45LP WD45D D14 3-D17 D17LP 2-D19D D19LP 190XTD 190XTLP 720 D21 220 7020 7030 7040 7045 3-7060 Projects: 3-U UC 2-G 2-B 2-C CA 7-WC RC WDLP WF D14 D21 210 7045 N7 |
