The author of this ebay add says this shift tower off of a WD will work on a WC, WF, WD45 and a WD45D. I don't see how it can work on these other models but he swears it will. Help me guys. Have I been wrong all of these years? http://www.ebay.com/itm/ALLIS-CHALMERS-WD-USED-TRANSMISSION-GEAR-SHIFTER-ASSEMBLY-WD45-WD45D?item=360473086819&cmd=ViewItem&_trksid=p5197.m7&_trkparms=algo%3DLVI%26itu%3DUCI%26otn%3D3%26po%3DLVI%26ps%3D63%26clkid%3D1306043301341690565" rel="nofollow - http://www.ebay.com/itm/ALLIS-CHALMERS-WD-USED-TRANSMISSION-GEAR-SHIFTER-ASSEMBLY-WD45-WD45D?item=360473086819&cmd=ViewItem&_trksid=p5197.m7&_trkparms=algo%3DLVI%26itu%3DUCI%26otn%3D3%26po%3DLVI%26ps%3D63%26clkid%3D1306043301341690565

| The cover housing itself actually interchanges between and old WD and a WD45, so I'd guess it would fit a WC too. The shift forks and lugs are different between the sliding gear style tranny and the constant mesh trans, so a COMPLETE cover assembly will not fit a WC thru a WD45. |

Should tell the crook cheaptractorparts that he's just got an old $35.0 dollar WD shift cover. an he's just tryin to steal 465 dollars from some poor soul. Maybe he should call himself ripoffthepublictractorparts . LOL
I don't think the WC and WD covers interchange... Castings are definately different, WD has the steering wheel support bolted to it.

| You can retro the tower by drilling the opposit hole for pin and grooving the ball on the shift stick. ... that has been done |

I'm pretty sure it won't fit the WC and WF and if someone bought it thinking it was a drop in replacement for their WD45 they would be... well, disappointed at best. ------------- AGCO My Allis Gleaner Company |

| Even if it would fit the WC/WF, you would have to remove or raise the gas tank for the WD shift lever to clear!! Someone needs a reality check!! |

I am new and was looking at some old threads... this topic is 4 years old and if you click on the link the eBay listing has an updated photo with a SOLD banner across the corner, but the listing actually EXPIRED. The same seller has the part still listed - $550 ! LOL I have bought running ( and sold running ) WDs for that kind of money. |

There's a WD in the Omaha CL for sale like that too... it's been listed for 3 or 4 years and the price has bounced around, but I think it's up to 2950 now AND IT DOESN'T RUN!!! Has a big 'ol oil stain below it, the paint is average, it's got a loader that is run by a pump hanging off the PTO. I dunno, I wouldn't want to give up my PTO for that loader over my 1 way lift, trip bucket. The loader might be nicer by it's self, but I use a mower and tiller enough that it would be a pain.
