The W-6 is a very tough tractor with no inhearant weaknesses that I know of. It is great for open field pulling type work but cannot be used for row crop work, which should work fine for anything you want to use it for. That tractor looks very straight and, if you don't find major engine problems, it should be a resonably easy restoration. Even if the engine is stuck, looking at the surroundings, it may be easy to free up and require no engine work. A large portion of the W-6 parts are the same as the M parts and are easy to find. I would go for it.

Did the W6 or SW6 have any inherent weaknesses? Is this a good unit to rebuild/restore? I don"t plan to work it much, maybe pull a trailer from time to time getting firewood or haul dirt, nothing heavy-duty.
