Thought I would share a couple photos of my toys. A 1948 W9, 1954 Super WD9, 1956 600 Diesel and 1957 650 Gas. You can get a close up look DuQuion, Il in a couple weeks. See you RPRU 2012. Thanks DonR of Mn

Here I try loading my photos again.
What size tires are you running on them? I am at a toss up between 16.9 and 18.4. I know 16.9 (14) was original, but 18.4 is the same money and more tire. It seems pretty standard that guys went to 18.4 on their next set. Too many choices when you are restoring one!
Then do you go with 45 degree bars or a more modern 23 degree tire??? Old style up front or new style. I like the look of yours with modern tires, but I have seen them with old style tires and they look pretty cool as well. In the service manual they show a WD-9 with Firestone Champion Ground Grip (turkey track) tires. It would be kind of neat to have that pattern, too. Then you would look like the book. Choices, choices.

On the W9 and Super WD9 because of rim size I have 16.9 and the 600 and 650 the rims are correct for 18.4. You can put 18.4's on the narrower rim but it just don't look right.
