Hi guys, How many W-6s were made? A guy is selling one and told me the serial # was 36997. I was also told by another guy that there were only about 27,000ish made. I have no knowledge about the standard series tractors since I grew up in row crop country. If there is any thing I need to watch out for when it comes to the W-6 or W-4 tractors, your advise is greatly appreciated.
Charles

There was somewhere in the area of 45000 W-6's made. This number includes O-6's, OS-6's, OD-6's, and WD-6's. W-6's use the same 248 cu. in 4 cylinder found in the Farmall M, so engine parts are plentiful. Transmission is the same as the Farmall M as well, with gearing changes being the only exception. The only place parts become hard to find, is the front end. The bushings and bearings for the kingpins are no longer available. We had to modify the upper bolster bushing from a Farmall 400 to get it to fit. Also, the gears in the steering box under the gas tank are hard to find. So if it has a lot of slop in the steering, expect to be running around to junkyards to find better gears. Other than that, the tractors are pretty much bulletproof. We have S/N 38566 W1, and it comes in handy for the little tasks. Traction is the limiting factor on these tractors, not power.

Charles:
I have had a W4 for 30 years now. Its a great little machine. This is the same engine as the H. There were not as many made but up here in snow contry the handel a lot better in winter with the wide front.
Lots of parts still available. Mine is due for a valve job. Did the last one 25 years ago.
Good luck.
