Allis Chalmers WD45

The Allis Chalmers WD45 is a row crop tractor that was made from 1953 to 1957. It has a 2WD drive system and a 4x2 chassis, making it good for field work. The tractor uses a sliding gear transmission with 4 forward gears and 1 reverse gear. It has a mechanical steering system and mechanical band brakes.

Under the hood, the WD45 has a 4-cylinder gasoline engine made by Allis Chalmers. The engine is liquid-cooled and has a displacement of 226 ci, which is below average for tractors. It runs at 1400 rpm, which is also lower than most tractors. The tractor weighs 3995 lb, which is on the lighter side. It has a live PTO that runs at 540 rpm and a rear-mounted Snap-Coupler hitch. The WD45 comes with an open operator station, but farmers could add an optional Allis-Chalmers Half Cab for more protection.
