Shift pattern on WD

[49h]

I am looking at a WD to restore and I am not familiar with Allis-Chalmers. Any help would be appriciated. It comes with a loader and I was wondering if it was a good loader tractor. Thanks

The shift pattern is cast into the shifter tower, should be easy to see. At any rate it's

They have a high pressure low volume hyd pump so things can be a bit slow. I think for it's time it was probably pretty good. A lot of poop has been loaded and snow pushed with them over the years. The hand clutch would be nice for easing into piles and whatnot.

it's intuitive, like a truck transmission. not like other manufacturers. only the olivers made more sense.

either run the hyd. pump off the pto, or off the dist. drive. piston pump worked good for the lift or a cyilinder, but i'm not patient enough to run a loader with it.

The hydraulics are not slow- but you need the right type of cylinders....high pressure, low volume. Example- if you put a Paulson loader on a WD, you need the thinner, high pressure cylinders. Using the fat ones like those used with a Farmall- you'll have slow action and blow the seals out at the end of the first stroke. Same with implement cylinders- AC made those to match the tractor system.

You are correct. I should have stated that the thin AC cylinders speed things up. I'm used to working with mine and a 2x8 cylinder. Slow, but works. Never tried a loader. Can't find one I can afford.

I have three trip bucket loaders to sell. Are they hard to find in your area?
