I just posted a photo in vintage photos, a 1942 W4 my dad bought new the year I was born. The photo clearly shows 3 young lads enjoying themselves. You'll also notice lights, those plus a battery and starter were added after tractor was new. I think it was also changed to distributor ingnition at some point. I recall a session my dad had trying to crank start it all day. At the end of the day after milking his cows as he walked by the W4 he gave a casual flip of the crank and it fired up. I think dad decided at that point it was the end of cranking, no lights and a tempermental magneto for him. I remember the day these options were added, just don't remember if distributor was added, not for certain anyhow.
