W9 with hand clutch

The hand clutch was standard on the 9 series Rice Field Special tractors. It was an option on the other 9 series tractors, so, as an option, there is no way of knowing how many were sold with the hand clutch. In the south I would guess about half of the 9's had a hand clutch but I don't believe many 9's were sold with the hand clutch in other parts of the country.

In this part of the country you see a few but not many. Some call them the Wheatland model because they had full fenders (back) and bigger wheels front and back. Probably special order ones.
 
There was a W9 with a hand cluth for sale last year, I rhink it was diesel, what would be most common gasoline or diesel?
 
Well, here's the story. I bought a 1949 W9 with a hand clutch for $300 on Thursday. I bought it in non working condition but the motor wasn't stuck. Needs work but overall looks to be in fairly decent shape. I decided to look at it tonight, didn't have fire. I pulled the mag off and noticed it was 180 degrees out. I cleaned the points, replaced the cap and rotor off of another mag I had and put a new set of plugs wires on it. Gave it some fuel and she fired right off. Sounds good but the throttle isn't working. It doesn't want to rev up. I'll look into that tomorrow. I need to find a 30 x 15 rear rim and tire though.
