I always thought that the frame extending beyond the radiator was wd45, the diesel model was a 6cyl. and it pushed the radiator out to the end of the frame.
That's a WD-45 engine and final drive. That's probably a WD transmission, I have been told that the shift levers are Not interchangeable. You have a Snap Coupler, which was standard on the WD-45, but optional on the WD. I don't know if there is any way to find out what parts that tractor started with, but it looks llike a mixture of WD and WD-45 parts now. I'd call it a WD-45, because the motor is the most important difference.
Do you know if the gears in the transmission slide or if it uses the dog clutches. Sliding gear would be WD. Ive got a book that talks about later WDs did get the constant mesh transmission but they have a curve shifter, but not the other way around.
One reference I have says the constant-mesh transmission started at serial 127007 in 1952. Which is near the end of the WD range. As production ended in 1953 with serial 146606.
you need ac experts to help so many ways to change parts i have wd and wd45 will look see if other than shift lever i notice any difference i know 45 had 1/2 longer stroke good luvk
It looks just like my 1955 WD45.
I don't know about the WD, but a WD 45 with a good engine will pull an AC 3-14" mounted mouldboard plow!

It's a wd45. My uncle had the same tractor.
The engine is a 45, run the numbers and see what the chassis is
wd will have 2 clutch disc in hand clutch 45 will have 3
This one had three.

We bought used WD & it had bent gearshift I think 55 ??? thanks
have shecked wd had a steel plate bolted on oil filter side right side set ib seat wd45 did not @@donvoll2580
@@donvoll2580I have seen WD where the shift lever was literaly bent, not the factory bend.
Its a wd. No hydraulic outlet on the back.
WD45 did not come standard with a hydraulic outlet on the back. They could be added.
It's a wd little manifold and carb
That looks like the stock WD45 Manifold, some aftermarket manifolds were bigger.
