My friend Delmar gave me his old WD9. He is the original owner.So that makes me the second owner. :) Delmar's dad bought this WD9 new for Delmar when he was 8 years old in 1952.They had a dryland wheatfarm in western Nebraska. At 8 years,he was too small to step on/operate the foot clutch pedal. So this tractor has the optional hand clutch lever.Works just like a 2 cylinder JohnDeere.After Del got out of the service in the early/mid 60s,he married a girl from BlackHawk,CO. They settled on her family's ranch at 9500 ft.(her greatgrandfather homesteaded the place).The tractor was used up there for a few years till it got parked on the side of the mountain for maybe 40 year.The ranch was sold and the tractor was moved to the new place at Salida,CO.Sadly,Mrs Del passed away from cancer less than a year after the move.Eventually he remarried,the new ranch was sold. The WD9 needed a new home.So,he(wD9) lives here now.I got him started yesterday after almost 40 years of nonuse.. Sounds pretty good,just needs some TLC. Kind of a neat story.
