I bought a 1955 WD45 today. It has one brand new rear tire and both fronts are new. It has a new radiator and clutches. It is 12 volt with a new alternator. It had the engine rebuilt in 2005 at a machine shop he gave me all the receipts. The hood and grill are excellent as are the rims. The steering and brakes seem tight. Now the bad. He thinks it has a blown head gaskit water in the cylinders and the fenders are ugly. It has a Freeman loader but not a pipe frame and it has a trip bucket. The motor is loose and I didn't see water in the oil. I know I took a chance but the loader is worth what I gave for it. It doesn't have lift arm latches but does have a 3pt. I'll go get it next weekend and then post pics.
