Today was a momentous day. I got back my grandfathers 56 Super WD-9 that he had back when I was a young kid. We brought it back home today, and once I make room for it back in our barn, I intend to get it running again.
Back when I was about 9 I remember my grandfather trying to get it running before he went downhill with cancer. The tractor would start and run fine on gas, but would die as soon as you would switch over to diesel. Being older, and having 15 years under by belt as a heavy duty mechanic, I think I’m up to the task of getting her running once more.
Ive done some digging today, and I found an old parts and operators manual available online, but haven’t found any service manuals. Does anybody know if there’s one kicking around online or am I going to be stuck trying find an original one still laying around. I’m mostly looking for engine repair info and from what I do know, there were other models that use the same engine.
Also, I know parts availability is pretty good for my other IH and Case models, any idea how hard it is to get parts for these old WD models?
Thanks
