My dad purchased a new W4 in 1942, and that tractor was around our farm until replaced by an H in 1951. Dad had originally wanted an H in 42, but would had to have waited some time. Since he was running a Fordson at the time, W4 looked very good. The W4 came on rear steel and he was unable to get tires until after the war. He bought rims with the tractor.

He said about the W4," It actually improved the life of his team of horses, as they no longer had to tow start the Fordson." He now (in 1942) had a tractor that would share work with the team rather than create work for them. He said the Fordson created more work than it did.
