I just picked up this WD45 and having a time trying to figure out the year it is. I can't find a data plate. The numbers I've found are cast numbers and one stamped. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
The last picture is AM-3853-10

The chassis serial number is stamped into the rear end casting (no data plate) just above the lift arm shaft on the left side on the rear face of the housing. It will say WD-XXXXXX. to be a WD45 the s/n must be WD-146607 or greater.

Late 1954 build.  WD45 made from mid 1953 until late summer 1957.

45-81751-G goes with chassis 207288 for those who wonder about the year of the engine...should be mid to later in 1954.   Looks like at that time there were 21,000 more gas engines than WD45 tractors, which is understandable, as the engine was being used in several other things in the mid-1950's
