I know there's a lot of guys on here who know something about older tractors. I need to pick your brains a little! :) Dad was given a 1951 Farmall WD9-yesterday we went and got it. I don't know how many years it's been out of active service-but it was driven into the shop at the end of its farming life and sat there ever since. All the tin is in place and really straight-1 little ding on 1 fender and 1 little dent on the top of the hood. It has an aftermarket cab on it-ugly thing that it is. The engine still turns over-the magneto still makes spark-shouldn't be that hard to make the old girl run again. Only thing missing off it is the starter! But I've got a few questions about the function and position of all the levers-Dad can vaguely remember a WD6 that Gramps used to have-but we're getting back close to 50 years now so the memories are getting fainter.



Can someone point me to a board similar to this one where I could find out some more info? Or is there someone on here who can help me a little? At this point in time we really don't need another project (too much stuff on the go right now)-but I can't wait to hear the old girl run again after God knows how many years of layup so I believe we'll take a shot at that ASAP and then at a later point in time strip it down, address some of the areas that need it and paint 'er up.



TIA

What Josh said.....



I sit in on several of the boards on ytmag - very good info and, like the TDR, if you ask you will get a straight answer.



I have a 1963 Ford 2000 that I just picked up - sounds like yours is in better shape than mine. But that is another story...



Good luck. (Is it really possible to have too many projects? Depends on if you ask me or my bride. )
 
I would second yesterdaystractors, I learned alot about my '63 farmall 340Diesel on there, and also about my 68 4010 JD industrial.
