The WD-9 or W-9 is about half again as much tractor as the R was. Don't plan on running much with the PTO of an R. Powering the live hydraulic remote was about the extent of it's capability. R is hard to start with the under powered 2 cylinder pony. Every other pony start tractor had the V-4 with about twice the power. Dad bought an R in December '63 planning on getting an additional 160 acres. Never happened, ended up pulling 3-14's over about 100 of the 120 acres we plowed that spring. Road commissioner bought the R to rototill and drag roads. Tore the pto out running the rototill every year for 3 years, then traded the R for an Oliver 770 diesel. A decent Farmall M could have run that Rototill! The R didn't burn much fuel, also didn'the make much hp, not a maneuverable tractor at all, and Dad put Char-Lynn P/Saturday on ours. We used it about 4-5 weeks in the field. DAD bought it but wouldn'the run it. Was happy to see it go. Can't lug an R, no center main bearing, will break the crankshaft if you lug it.
Neighbor across the road bought a W-9 to help do 320 acres of row crop fieldwork. Before the W-9 he had a Cub Farmall, a 560 gas, a stock 8N and a Funk 6-cylinder 8N. Cub mowed his lawn. Fords took up shed space, 560 did Everything. The W-9 pulled everything the 560 did, maybe not quite as fast, but on less gas.

Today's Featured Article - Product Review: Black Tire Paint - by Staff. I have been fortunate in that two of my tractors have had rear tires that were in great shape when I bought the tractor. My model "H" even had the old style fronts with plenty of tread. My "L" fronts were mismatched Sears Guardsman snow tires, which I promptly tossed. Well, although these tires were in good shape as far as tread was concerned, they looked real sad. All were flat, but new tubes fixed that. In addition to years and years of scuffing and fading, they had paint splattered on
