Finally got my new wheels put on the disc and the tractor and went out to play in the dirt for discing up corn stalks. Was way muddier than I thought, but it did rain last night...
(quoted from post at 18:28:06 10/15/17) Okay, I am confused. Your first tractor pic shows a shiny new rim and tire yet the working pics show an older rusty rim on the right front of tractor.
As for the disc tires: We always simply used well worn car tires on our wheel discs that still had a good casing - as in no cracks or dry rot as tread was never important. Those were always free for the taking. Even a radial car tire worked fine with a tube in at the slow speeds a wheel disc sees even in road transport.
Great pics though
(quoted from post at 16:01:18 10/15/17) Look what you did to those pretty new wheels. I used the WD yesterday to pick some ear corn. Nice running old
tractors. What size disk is that?
(quoted from post at 17:01:01 10/15/17) Don't look now Will, but I think your tires need a shave. :lol:
(quoted from post at 18:58:30 10/15/17) Well, hey, it not too wet if the mud doesn't build up between the disc blades and make
a roller out of the gangs!!!!
(quoted from post at 20:11:39 10/15/17) There used to be all kinds of WD's and WD45's around this area years ago. Now you have to really look unless you know somebody who is heavy into AC. I like that work clothes look on the WD. I've seen the brackets before on the very front of the frame rail but wonder what they are for. Presumably for a loader?
(quoted from post at 19:40:06 10/15/17) Ot is not a KBA as the KBA was the drag type and for wheel disk they just added the carrier, fact is they had a kit to convert the disk you had before wheel disks came out to a wheel disk. In might be a RWA (think that is model) And it shows 8 blades on a side so if the 7" blade spacing it would be a 9'10" or might as well say 10'. Now if it is the 9" blade spacing that to me it does not look like then you have to add 28" so then it would be 12'4". I owned 3 Different KBA disks, 2 drag type and one wheel carried. The KBA is flexible and adjustable angle gang that this one is not.
(quoted from post at 20:24:35 10/15/17) Several years ago I bought a quite original WD45, out of nostalgia. I fixed it up and used it around here as a "bush hog" tractor. I tired of it and replaced it with a nice AC 175D last spring. I may tire of that someday. With aging, it's hard to beat things like live PTO, power shift, uncluttered, easy access operators area, etc!

I think it's an 8' John Deere KBA. And oh yeah, I was like "well, glad I got a picture of them before I dirtied 'em up".
(quoted from post at 11:07:25 10/17/17) ok question, your clutch pedal is in a good place, mine is all the way back almost to the axle housing on my wd, i lowered the top adjustment, the foot pad itself, but no help, how can i move the pedal like yours is? the clutch works fine and has a long throw, but its hard to get a foot on the thing
