Okay then. make sure after all the moldboard plowing is done that each tractor gets a disc hooked to it. See which operator can still stand upright and walk at the end of the day after a 8 to 10 hour day of discing a plowed field and who got more ground disc'ed up in the process too.
Although it sounds like like I am bashing the Allis I actually like the motors even wanted a WD or a WD45 for my piddle patch collection myself (I truly loves those old motors and their responsive governors and distinct sound). Found a very late WD with the newer improved style WD45 rear end close to my house for dirt cheap. I did not find it comfortable at all. My wife refused to even take it for a test drive after frowning it over. I did not buy it due to its total lack of comfort. That sealed the deal as I need the wife to tedd and rake with any tractor I own. Wife will willing drive any of my other old clunkers Farmall h, Farmall M, John Deere A, Case DC, but prefers her 850 Ford.
My uncle had a WD45 back in the day too and he always complained how it beat him up. I ran the tractor a little as a young kid course I was thrilled for the opportunity alone. That tractor did not stay around very long due to that. Believe it got traded of on a John Deere G with 3 point and then the G was later traded on a JD 720 diesel.
And you are right Allis sold lots of em cause they were cheaper than everything else at the time and for that reason alone. However, their greatness is truly reflected in today's resale value which is not all that great at all. I will say a WD are a bargain for their capability though, but still not better than a Farmall 300 and no I do not own a Farmall 300 but wish I did. A WD45 is a real bargain for what it can do and might put up a closer fight.
