Olivetroad Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 Friday I went to an auction and I picked up this Allis Chalmers WD45 - I can't seem to find the serial number - does anyone remember where it is? I thought it was stamped on the rear end, but I can't find it.Check out the shutters: I also bought a Finn straw blower painted up like a John Deere. The local municipality that had it installed a new 80 hp Deutz diesel on it, replaced all the bearings and belts, painted it, and then parked it for 6 years. Makes no sense - I hope if I install new batteries and drain the gunk from the tank it will run.I bought this trailer online, when I went to pick it up it had a flat tire - bad!But it had in the bed a boring machine and augers for boring under a road - Good! 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/24818-allis-chalmers-wd45-olivetroad-auction-action-4272012/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Olivetroad Posted April 30, 2012 Author Share Posted April 30, 2012 Left side on the back of the diff. PaulPaul - Thanks for the info. I wire brushed and scraped the paint and then I wire brushed and scraped the paint and then I wire brushed and scraped the paint......you get the idea.........I found out it was serial number WD11488 which Tractordata.com shows makes it a 1949 model - I thought those shutters made it an early one. So someone cheated with the decals or used a WD45 hood on it - it is only a WD not a WD45.

Mike Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 I've had some interesting times behind the wheel of my late uncles WD45. He would even let me run it on Sunday if I asked. That was rare for anyone to start a tractor on Sunday back then. I'm talkin around 1960, 61 and 62. He passed in 1963 and the tractor went to his son-in law in which I worked for in the summer months. Well no more fun with that tractor when him and his son obtained it.I later found the Super M Farmall is my favorite and have two stored.mike Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/24818-allis-chalmers-wd45-olivetroad-auction-action-4272012/#findComment-117050 Share on other sites More sharing options...
umodelnut Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 Really cool Ali Chalmers. Instead of putting a dumpbox on Jockos old B you bought, you could haul that tractor around on a trailer. Or put a deck on the frame with ramps and haul the tractor on the back, or put the dump box on and haul the tractor around with a pintle hook trailer. My great grandma had an old Allis Chalmers in the old shed behind the house, she sold it like a year or 2 ago. Would you guys like a picture, I know where one is. Well I'll post it anyways.

Olivetroad Posted May 1, 2012 Author Share Posted May 1, 2012 In between thunderstorms yesterday, we got the straw blower running. That 80 horsepower Deutz really makes the straw blow!

My brother sold a 350 Farmall that was in great shape for $800 about 8 or 10 years ago. I would have bought it myself if i'd known he was going to sell it. He said he didn't think i'd be interested because I don't have room enough to turn it around. I don't- but I still would have bought it. Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999.
