Hello All! Just thought I would share some pictures of my 1947 WC that I bought back in December. It has been a long process, but it is now running and I just have a few things left to do and it is ready to be repainted. I bought this tractor from another forum member when I was originally looking for a motor for my other WC, but after hearing he would throw the rest of the tractor in for free if I bought the motor (ha ha) orange fever set in I went to having two tractors! New Plugs, Wires, gauges, head gasket and hoses. Hoping to make the local tractor show this year with this old girl, and hoping for many more hours of fun! Heres the view the night we brought it home.

| great pictures !! WC's did a lot of farming in their day, coming out of the great depression built to sell cheaply enough to be affordable yet tough as nails. |

Steve, your right I am done for! As for the poll barn, we just built a 30x40 garage a few years ago... looks like i'll be making an addition! lol These WC's are probably some of the best tractors out there. Tough as nails is right! ------------- Not only do I not know what's going on, I wouldn't know what to do about it if I did... |
