After 22 months my dad and I finally finished my WD45. This is my first orange tractor as I have always been a green man before this. I acquired this tractor off a friend’s estate. He had just retired and 6 months later was killed in a motorcycle accident. He was the individual who introduced me to the local tractor club and let me drive my first big tractor which was a 1940 JD B (I have that tractor too!) Many of the parts we needed for this project came from Stiener’s and their selection was quite substantial. I will still need a few parts for this tractor down the road as you may see that on our trial run we overheated and discolored the new chrome exhaust stack. Oh well the joys of working on old tractors and I LOVE IT!!!!
