    What all sizes of tires will fit a WD. rear?

    Whatever you do, use the right size rim for the tire. If you're just replacing the one side stay with same size. You should have 12" wide (inside bead to bead) rims now if 13.6 tires.

    Allis broke my wrist

    1 and 2 cylinders are 180 degrees apart on crank so it would be off 180, since your compression is on 2 it sounds like the cam is out of position not the magneto.

    Wd manifold stud torque

    First of all, put a straight edge on manifold and head and make SURE they are flat. Tightening a warped manifold or crooked head leads to broken manifolds. Start from middle and go out. Forget torque, get the nuts just snug (maybe 1/8-1/4 turn past finger tight), start and warm up tractor, shut...

    How stupid was i

    Realistically, $2100 isn't that far off if you can get it running for little or no cost. If it's running with straight sheet metal, together with the mower on it may be worth $2100 to the right person. Look at it this way- I just spent over $2100 just for new tires and rims for my WD. Do I care...

    Belt

    Just to use I would go with rubber baler belt from your local farm supply store or dealership, works good. If you want an old looking belt for show keep an eye on the farm auction bills and ebay/craigslist. Guessing that's a pretty short belt, if you find a longer one with a bad section you...

    WD-45 exhaust manifold (aftermarket)

    Find a Vinson if you can, made in USA but they're hard to find as they're not made anymore. The other ones you can get are all the same manifold wherever you buy them from, made overseas.

    wd-45 new head gasket leaking

    Once you've taken the head off an old engine you really need to check it carefully for straightness. It might be clean but it can be warped or have a high spot that you can't really see. Take a known good straightedge and check it in several places and directions. lay it sideways the short way...

    WD governer came apart again

    Buying a used governor is a gamble. In addition to the gears running smooth, make sure the pivot holes in the weights aren't worn oversize. If the weights are loose on the pins at all they can start to vibrate and crack. New weights and pins can still be had from AGCO.

    WD HEAD

    Push rods are all the same- rocker arm stands are shorter on tall head to make up for it, valve cover is also shorter. Only advantage with tall head is slightly better cooling and less shrouding of spark plug in cylinder.

    WD45 Clutch shaft + more

    These tractors are so plentiful, it would be much easier to just find another transmission and drop it in. I have seen complete ones for $100 or less before, was just at my local AC dealer"s boneyard, had 7 WD45s lined up 5 still had trannys in them. Also check ebay or post in the want ads here.

    Bars leak

    I had posted a few days ago about the antifreeze in the oil of my Farmall A. The suggestion was to put Bars Leak in to see if that solved the problem. I went to the auto parts store and they had various kinds. Which one do I pick? One said not to mix with antifreeze and many said to make sure...

    1937 Allis-Chalmers WK Crawler

    K crawlers are getting hard to find, if it don"t sell outright try consigning it to an auction no reserve, you will still get more than scrap and help save a neat old machine
