The WD was a much improved version of the WC with live hydraulics & pto via a second hand clutch, spin out wheels to easily widen for cultivating those old wide rows and then conveniently narrow up again for such chores as pulling a mower or binder. Front mounted cultivator was a job that only took a few minutes compared to hours for some other makes. Easily overhauled wet sleeve engine. Excellent cold weather starting. A snappy governor/engine combination that has no peer. Plenty of power to pull two 14" plows, and a price that couldn't be beat. As for you who complain about it being uncomfortable to sit on all day, it was a big improvement over the old Fordsons which were noisy, hot (try sitting on top of a differential with a worm gear drive for a few hours sometime), and dusty as most had steel wheels, many without fenders.. The WCs and WDs had an offset seat to make cultivating easier which was a seemingly unending job. The WD seat had a nice hydraulic shock absorber that made them just as comfortable as many of today's tractors. $1775 for the first ones made to about $2400 for the last WD45 which would outwork many larger, more powerful and more expensive tractors.

After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
