the difference in the original wd and the 53 wd is the 53 WD used the same transmission as the wd45 and was fully synchronized. there were 6 SHTAs made one with a fast hitch system one is rumored to be a with a 35hp continental diesel. i was a IHC mechanic in 75 and found the books on these. on my farm dad had a 51 transition H it had a larger bore and a high compression head and piston setup it put out 31hp on a M&W 400 dyno. it had just enough hp to handle a 9 ft wheel disk in 3rd gear. or 3-12 plowin 2nd but it liked 2-16 /w high speed mowboards in 3rd.better
been to your place several years ago during Spoon River Scenic Drive. I've got a 1954 AC WD 45 with a propane conversion done in the 1960's. She still runs good, but would like to go through and rebuild and repaint sometime. But I have been saying that since I got it over 20 years ago. If you haven't been yet, you should come out to the Antique Engine and Tractor Association show in September. We have over 50 acres of displays, field demonstrations, threshing, baling, and vendors. Steam engines, prairey tractors,farm tractors and equpment, and even some smaller construction equipment. Just added railroad in 2015. 1 steamer and 2 diesels. Massey-Harris is feature tractor for 2016. Small engine and garden tractor displays also. Show is second Friday, Saturday and Sunday after Labor Day.
Wonderful experience, watching these updated or non existing models. I grew up around these tractors, I sold my Farmall M last year an all original tractor. Oh. ..you need a wind sock on that microphone. Thanks for displaying this video. Great job!
Nothing sounds as good as those old Farmalls to me. I grew up around a Super W6 and in later life I kept a well used old Super M and an even harder used Super W6 on the farm just so I could fire them up for the odd small job where I could hear them bark a bit. Great old tractors that were totally dependable to start no matter the weather.
moron, get off your stupid cell phone and get a life. if you knew anything about how your food gets on your table you would have learned quite a bit here. fuggn yuppy
