      I also have fond memories of my two brothers and myself riding out to the field with grandpa on his alis Chalmers don't know the exact model # though, but the lucky one got to sit on the tool box everyone else just found a place to sit and hung on to something lol.

    Power steering was the exception certainly not the norm! In '54 my father purchased a 45 and it was a diesel, first in our area. Easy to identify, six cylinder engine making the front of the tractor square without the recessed portion in front of the radiator. His was also wide front. He purchased it to pull a silage cutter, the pto response was impressive! Thanks for the memories!

    Lots of kids learned to drive on a wd 45 because the hand clutch was so easy to operate.

    My uncle in Iowa had one with bigger tires and it was a very powerful beast and easy to operate with the hand clutch.

    En el año 1955 yo maneje este tractor cuando tenia 7 años de edad, en el fundo Los Riscos de Puquitrahue, que era propiedad de la firma Salinas y Fabres de Chile. El tractorista se dormia bajo un arbol y yo disfrutaba pasando la rastra. Obviamente era nuestro secreto ya que mi padre que era el administrador del fundo no podia saberlo.

    You outta hear that tractor come to life, is when they drop that plow 9" down! That's when you'll feel it's raw power, is when you're rolling black clay soil

    All that work to restore and then paint it the wrong color. There were at least three shades of orange that allis used. Persian orange #1 was used part way into the d series.

    Who is with me?
    Install a wide front end on it & sun canopy structurally built incase of a roll over by a family member some day in the future & maybe even a seat belt. The love of an old tractor loses it appeal when someone you love gets hurt by it.

      No, leave it original.
      Treat the tractor and terrain with respect and you will be fine.
