Couple years ago, friend of mine sold his acreage. Moved to town. Get a call, I know your into old red tractors. I left one at my old place, its free. No idea what I was getting, took truck & trailer. Told it died where its sitting. Its a 1957 W450 with a front end loader. So I winched it onto the trailer & towed it home 18 miles. Cut the loader off, took to dump. It wasn't worth saving, already have an IH 560D loader tractor. My shop is finally done, towed the W450 inside.
The wiring of the W450 is a rat's nest. Replaced the coil & ran couple wires to make it run. Got engine to turn over & have spark. Poured gas in the cylinders, its came to life. Cleaned sediment bowl out, same as gas tank. Poured some gas into tank, started to run out of carb. Then it quit leaking. It the button & came to life!
Great I thought, this is going to be the snowblower tractor. Found a 4ft front mount snowblower of local ads. Finally got brackets made up last night. It will barely move a 3" x 12 ram to move the blower. I can just push the blower around, so its not that heavy. When New Holland sold this snowblower for there tractors, ram was only a 2" ram.
The engine loads up when trying to move the ram, both lines get smoking hot when using hydraulics. Oil level is good, checked that. Going to take screen out of bottom of tank. I read about screen & orifice in the safety/regulator valve. Where is this? Would that be my problem? Not sure how this tractor ran a loader with 4 rams. But its been sitting for couple years now.

Today's Featured Article - Oil Bath Air Filters - by Chris Pratt. Some of us grew up thinking that an air filter was a paper thing that allowed air to pass while trapping dirt particles of a particles of a certain size. What a surprise to open up your first old tractor's air filter case and find a can that appears to be filled with the scrap metal swept from around a machine shop metal lathe. To top that off, you have a cup with oil in it ("why would you want to lubricate your carburetor?"). On closer examination (and some reading in a AC D-14 service manual), I found out that this is a pretty ingenious method of cleaning the air in the tractor's intake tract.
