I got lucky back in 1998 and bought a good running 45D for $1800, but it was in need of a few things like new front rims, tires, front and rear, grill, tie rod ends, brakes, one lift arm was bent, hyd. cylinders needed repacked, both fenders needed alot of work, but it did and still does run great and that was the main thing. It took alot of work and a nice chunk of change but we got it right.   [Reply]   [Send Email]

As long as the block is good, your ok. Parts are"nt as rare as some let on, They"re just expensive.   [Reply]   [No Email]

There are some good pics of the repair work that he had done on the cracks in the block. Tom MNs WD45D   [Reply]   [Send Email]

The wide front end makes it worth more but since it has been opened up that can always be a problem with missing parts   [Reply]   [Send Email]
