Wd45 value


cvphoto85027.png
 
They are good reliable tractors. They are a bit light for their power, but can use weights to fix that if needed. I think that if it is as described, and you run it for an hour to be assured it doesn't smoke, that it is a good value. Jim
 
i would say its good. i have the same original unit and cant get 1k. ... no interest in it.
 
(quoted from post at 12:22:47 04/14/21) Is $1,400 a good price on a wd45? Been told it runs like a top. Needs new fenders.

t's probably worth that, but they are not in high demand. You might be able to get him down a little.
 
Appears to have good tires,rims,good sheet metal,wide front,3pt and you said mechanically good.For $1400 that seems pretty good,I've ridden probably thousands of miles on one like it from plowing to baling hay,was a very dependable tractor for us.Thought I'd never own another one but just bought a regular WD NF.
 
Would you all think it would be worth it even if I had to replace the fenders, rims, and work on the lights?
 

Lights are a snap. Fenders are an "eye of the beholder" thing IMO. Rims? Now you're getting into money and work. You'd better find out EXACTLY what is wrong with it and EXACTLY what it's going to cost you to fix it. I admit $1400 doesn't go near as far as it used to, but you may be looking at close to that in repairs if you don't look it over real hard. And if you plan on hiring to work done to make it usable......... $$$$$.
 
They have a tendency to jump out of 3rd gear. That is a bit of a project. Just take it down a hill, if it is gonna jump out of gear it will do it then.
 
Around here. $1400 would be a good price, even needing rims.
You can find used rims, and new ones are pricey. But when buying a tractor that old even if the rims look solid, you dont really know what condition there in until you remove the tires. Small rusted holes can be patched, Ive welded patches into many an old wheel someone else would have replaced.
As far as the gear jumping, that was more of a D series problem, by all means do as he said and drive it down hill In 3rd and check it out. Ive heard of 45s jumping out of gear, but Ive never seen one that does it, and Im an Allis fan.
A WD45 is a great tractor once you get use to them, and the way they ride and how to use the hand clutch for live pto.
I still have one and use it every year to plow and disc several acres. Weights do help as they are light in the front end, but very powerful for their size.
Simple to work on and plenty of parts available, 1400 almost sounds to cheap. It would bring more In My area, however I know tractors are different prices depending on where you live.
Good luck on your decision and let us know if you buy it.
 


I wouldn't worry about fenders until I got most of the other stuff taken care of. You can be that there will be more.
