IMPORTANT !! To the video creator. I have 2x WD45, Farmall model A and Cub. Love them for their simplicity and ease of repair (mostly)... But I am just about to receive big order including new crankshaft. Entire engine rebuild. (crankshaft chewed. No machine shop would touch it. been ground already. Lots) So I am watching your whole build. THANK YOU!!

That's crazy how tight that engine is😯. I would have figured that there would have been some damage inside for how stuck it is. Hopefully pulling the engine out goes smoothly buddy! 🙂👍

Good day from Ont. Yrs ago we had WD with oversize pistons. Boy tires look good on it. Thanks

Thanks for the view! The tires were brand new right before the tractor dropped a valve and got parked. Mine will have oversized pistons when I'm done, as I have not been able to find a stock set anywhere.

I found oil in the coolant in my '55 WD but no coolant in the oil pan. Runs good and has good power. Is the engine junk?

Try to not put a wood block on the piston and hammer it. I have seen the top of pistons caved in or a hole put in them. on my f20 I filled the cylinders hafe way up with diesel and set it on fire. the heat expaned the sleaves and the pistons started to move. keep the good videos coming.

That's a great idea, setting it on fire. I will remember that trick for future use. Thanks for the view!

That has the d17 kit in it too.

Best to Jack the back of tractor up and put in high gear and rock the tire back and forth. They come loose easy that way

That was the first thing I tried. Also tried pulling it and popping the clutch

Usually if that don’t work I pull the starter and then put prybar on the the ring gear. Just working it slowly back and forth. I see you went all out on the rebuild though. If it was me I’d put those d17 pistons back in. They were far more superior than the new stuff. Better compression and power. If you put a d17 governor spring in with those pistons you have an early d17 power in a wd45. We did that to dads puller over 25 years ago and stay competitive with reliability. Just food for thought

I know you are way past this stage in your restoration, but for others, try putting the tractor in the highest gear and rock it forward and backward to see if it will move.

I did try that first, way before I started making videos. Works great on engines that aren't siezed bad. This one was just too far gone, which I still haven't figured out, since it had sat inside ever since it quit running.

Bigger Hammer less damage me thinks!

I dont get it, I've got another tractor that's been sitting longer than this one and it's not stuck. At least its apart now!

Yikes I expected carnage once the oil pan was dropped with it being that seized. Hopefully once you get the engine out things start to get easier brother.
