Tractors, wheres is a good place to find info.

I am looking for some web pages with information on old tractors. Maybe a good discussion group.

Specifically, My grandpa traded 2 old Olivers for an AC WD45.

He has 2 WD's and figure he will get at least one good tractor out of the 3. We did get the WD45 running, has a whine from the rear, but it goes. He was wondering what the difference is between the WD's and the WD45.

YTmag is a good one for antiques of all makes. Another one being SSB tractors that I just found, I've never visited it. The one of most value to you would be this one, http://www.allischalmers.com. For raw data on every tractor ever made, check Tractortips.com.

The agriculture forums I visit everyday deal mostly with more modern machinery, but if you ask in there you will get an answer, Newagtalk, agriculture.com, and one that deals with only IH red (I'm thinking you dont' want that one. ).

My dad still uses his WD 45 everyday in the summer. Very reliable tractor. This one has a tricycle stance. Very cool tractor. He also has a D-17 and a AC 7000. As you can see we are a AC fans. Sorry I don't know any forums for these or know much about them. Hope you get the answers you need.

Yeah, all three of his are tricycles. He has another AC grader with the handwheels to raise and lower the blade. He also got a small Ford front-end loader recently. I miss the Diesel Oliver. He took a diesel front end and bolted on his gas Oliver's rear end. The engine went bad in the gasser, and vice versa

If he didn't have his tractors to fix he would of died along time ago.
