Back in the '70s my uncle had an 80 acre 'hobby farm' in the clay hills along Pope Creek in West-Central Illinois and he had two WD-45s, a WF & a NF. Both of them had what he called a 'D17 kit' in them. There was still an AC dealership in Alexis at the time and they had dynoed them at 54 (WF) and 56hp (NF). I was doing a lot of the plowing and discing at the time and they both pulled a mounted AC 3-14 plow in 3rd, nearly against the governor. We used the WF with duals (kept the spinning down) when discing. The thing is I don't remember my back being sore from the seating position but it kills me now (40 years later) and that's from minutes, not days of 10-12 hours in the field so I no longer own an AC but, it was fun while it lasted! :lol:

I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
