WD45 Specifications from Tractordata.com
As purchased from an auction it's a fairly decent Dupont restoration
The paint job isn't bad but like so many it is wrongly painted Corporate Orange
Some things needed to be addressed to make it more comfortable to operate.
The hand clutch, foot clutch, and right brake levers were very sloppy - Levers bushed and shafts replaced
The steering shaft sloppy and had deep grooves worn in it - Shaft and U-joint replaced
The steering shaft front support was worn almost through - Replaced
The Governor and distributor spark advance very unresponsive - Replaced/Rebuilt governor and advance
I only took pictures of the worn hand clutch shaft replacement
The shaft was drilled and threaded to attach the brake pin puller
The new shaft installed
I bought some nicely rebuilt lift arm latches and painted them Persian Orange
With a 3-Point adapter I mounted our new wood chipper which has been on it since
We have put a lot of brush through this in the several years we've had it
