[Allis Chalmer's Noob]

Hello, I am completely new to tractors old n' new alike, And i've been given a task of selling (as far as I know a 1955 Allis Chalmer WD40) and a handful of attachments. My problem is I don't know where to even begin looking into the value of any of this stuff. All the info I have been told is as fallows. 1. It's only had 1 previous owner. 2. The engine has been either rebuilt, or just flat out replaced with a stronger one( he likes to talk about how it does wheelies super easy since). 3. It runs great. 4, He still has a lot of the paperwork that originally came with the tractor, how ever he keeps forgetting to get said paperwork to me when I ask as he is going through a lot of health problems. 5. He thinks it was a special edition or something but cant recall. Any help with an ID of what it exactly is, where to start looking for value/Places that would be good to try and sell it would be greatly appreciated!

A serial number and a picture would be helpful plus any documentation of repair work. Allis Chalmers never made a ''WD40''. In 1955 they were manufacturing a ''WD45''.
Serial number is located on the left rear of the rear end on a flat spot below the left brake housing. The serial number will start with ''WD'' whether it's a WD or a WD45. You have to look at the tractor serial number and some other parts of the tractor to determine whether it's a WD or a WD45. Lots of WDs out there with WD45 decals on them but that doesn't make them a WD45.Tractors are routinely listed for sale on this website with or
without picture but I'd always do it with a picture.

I've even seen a couple of WC's that had WD-45 decals on them !! Some people have no shame.

Hello AC welcome to YT. Those pictures may be
showing up when you view them because it is a file on
you computer. On our end it is a big Zip! Here is a
short rundown of how to post pictures here. I would
suggest making a reply and try to upload one. If that
works maybe try 2 in the next reply. Pictures post
through the ..Browse or Choose files.. button just
below where it says ..Upload Photos/Videos.. down
lower in the ..New post and reply windows. Clicking
that will give you a choice to select the file or folder
the pictures are stored in on your PC or phone. Then
select the photo from the file and ..Add.. it. They
cannot be pasted into the text area as a file.
