My dad had a styled Allis Chalmers WC with side exhaust like this so I must need one too.
They discontinued this exhaust for the regular gas engine WC at engine number W106508 in 1940.
Rear wheels with the cast center that started at tractor #81757 in mid 1939 can be seen in a picture of dad's.
This would put his between mid 1939 and mid 1940.
Some information on the WC
I was able to cut this picture from the background of a picture taken on our farm in 1967
This is what they should look like with stamped steel rear wheels.
The car in this picture
is my dad's, I don't know who's WC though.
Wanting one, I ended up buying three. No real excuse either.
The 1st purchase was Serial Number WC 80020 Engine Number W 83948 G
With the block cracked badly, pistons all rusted solidly in place, rust and water inside most
places it doesn't belong, etc.
It was decided to disassemble this one and save what could be salvaged.
Turned out to have a nice aftermarket
Easy Steer, had to save that.
The sheet metal was straight, a few other parts were saved the rest was scrapped
It was purchased with no wheels but Gary let me borrow a pair of cut-offs that still hold air
I had a car tire that fit on one side to hold the front up and allow it to roll around.
The sheet metal is quite nice
Scott told me I should take a picture of the rust before I took off the inspection plate.
I'm glad I did!
I was thinking a bunch of crud would fall out when I pulled the plate off but nothing fell.
I had to dig out quite a pile of mouse nest; they must have had it pretty nice in there.
After most of the nest was removed it looked as though the mice had been using it as a playground.
