Dave Eklund · Jul 10, 2011

brought home a couple of wd9 from western ny to mass yesterday think the might be a little to far gone to fix but wanted the parts for a couple of tractors we have been working on also got the mag and hyd pump and tank and valve of another 9 that was being scrapped. We went to the 2cylinder show in NY and dragged these two back got almost as good of fuel mileage loaded as empty

Good find. They don't look to terribly incomplete

Mike Lucas · Jul 10, 2011

Good for you! Too many oldies are being scrapped due to the high price of used iron.

Too bad the fenders are so far away. I bought d282's WD-9 as a kit tractor. I went to the 2 cyl show in Waterloo, IA and picked it up on the way home. I figured by truck might be burnt in the parking lot if I pulled in with a WD-9 in tow. :lol: I did get a thumbs up from an old timer in Dbq on the way home.

What is the tire and rim size on those things?

Wardner · Jul 10, 2011

Looks like you got a new trailer. Is your truck big enough? The total combo weight must have been huge.

BTW, I found the other cast iron Ottawa badge for your loader. Maybe I'll see you in Dublin. I'm mentioning it now so I don't find a good reason not to go. I found a good reason not to go to Pepperell today. Too lazy.

Aw heck, that's just a 7-ton trailer... Child's play for that big F350 dually.

You can tell those tractors have some weight to them, though... The Ford's squatting a bit at the gas station.

JRSutton · Jul 11, 2011

Excellent. Nothing worse than seeing old tractors go to a scrap yard.

Now all you need is a red trailer to replace that green and yellow one.

RTR · Jul 11, 2011

That is actually a new Dodge 3500, not a Ford.

Dave Eklund · Jul 11, 2011

The rears are 18.4x34 The rear fenders are in good shape think we are gonna try to use a pair on the I9 we have as those are pretty rough the tie rod is worn allot less than on our wd9 got a few spare tires and rims and radiator. The one we left had a nose and radiator on it we could have had that also but after a few hours in the sun trying to load these 2 we had had it as the brakes on the one on the front of the trailer were froze so we dead dragged it on with a backhoe and oiled the trailer deck to help it slide with wd40. The trailer is rated for 18000# truck for 14000# so our axle weights might have been off but I think we were still under our max gross being from Mass they don,t care if all the weight is on 1 axle just as long as your not over max gross the truck handled the load good was very impress with the power and engine brake of course 10 mpg at 70 mph wasn't that great but power takes fuel

Good job! Glad to see good parts being saved, not getting scrapped.

Ken Ind. · Jul 11, 2011

Any one saved from the scrap yard is great. You can always part them out and they still live on. If they go to scrap they are lost and gone forever.So GREAT SAVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
