| Did all WC's exhaust out the side, or did later ones come through the hood? If they did all come out the side, is anyone casting any? |

| The side exhaust was used on the Distillate-fueled versions of the WC. And WD's as well. |

| Do you have both side and top exhaust maifolds? Ours has a plate over the side exhaust and a muffler out through the hood. I have not seen restoration manifolds yet with both exhaust ports. |

Pretty sure the later WC's came straight up like the WD's. The manifold are being reproduced and you can buy just the "elbow" piece for the gas model. The keroscene is not yet reproduced.

If you take that plate off, there should not be a connection to the exhaust under it. It's made like the B-C manifolds with the data plate. The manifolds were either side exhaust or top exhaust, no combination. If yours has an opening to the exhaust under that plate it is burned out. I have a manifold with the plate on the side that is in good usable condition. ------------- http://www.ae-ta.com" rel="nofollow - http://www.ae-ta.com Lena 1935 WC12xxx, Willie 1951 CA6xx Dad bought new, 1954WD45 PS, 1960 D17 NF |

| hi tramway guy. my family swapped horses and mules for what i was told was a new 42 wc back in the day. i had always assumed that all wc's were side shooter exhaust till later years or at least after 1942. i never considered our wc was a distillate model per your thread. a number of other farmers in the old Blough Neighborhood where we farmed had brand x tractors and they had those little what they called "reserve tanks" right behind, or included in the main fuel tank to these tractors. i was born in 49. i know now that these werent reserve tanks but starter tanks for those engines that could burn something other than gas............start em on gas and then switch over.......our wc had no such switchover mini tank although it had a set of canvas curtains that could be closed during cold weather. without a switch over tank for these side shooter distillate models how did the operator light off his wc on those sub freezing ohio winter days? likewise, ive seen a ton of wd"s but never one with a side shooter......bolivar boy. |

Jim, The side exhaust was for the Kerosene burner or All Fuel. The only WC's I have seen with a straight up exhaust had a nasty looking big round hole for the muffler to go through, probably cut on the farm with whatever was available. ------------- http://www.ae-ta.com" rel="nofollow - http://www.ae-ta.com Lena 1935 WC12xxx, Willie 1951 CA6xx Dad bought new, 1954WD45 PS, 1960 D17 NF |

Bolivar, If your WC didn't have a starter tank it may have had the hood replaced or maybe it was a higher compression meant to run on gas only. ------------- http://www.ae-ta.com" rel="nofollow - http://www.ae-ta.com Lena 1935 WC12xxx, Willie 1951 CA6xx Dad bought new, 1954WD45 PS, 1960 D17 NF |

| My styled WC has a straight up exhaust and no starter tank holes, but I guess it could be a WD hood. It has a hole for the shutter crank. |
