Yee Haw!! With this kind of tractor addiction, we better cancel our auction accounts. We bought 5 Antique McCormick tractors. Come along and ride with us on our tractor excursion. Hopefully they all run? Help wanted, WD-6 wont run. I'm looking for a WD-6 guru that will know all the kinks or go-to issues with its fuel pump and selector issues.

Pool valve cover off and make sure the decompression release valves are down to run on gasoline up to run on diesel fuel

Are you getting fuel at injector lines? crack them open at injector if you have fuel with it running on gas. it could be an issue with the switch over control. This engine has an extra set of valves to lower compression for it to start and run on gasoline. If you remove the valve cover you can see the lever and compression valve set up could be stuck open which would cause lower compression, Good Luck.

Run it on petrol and see if diesel is working. If so you run it till it's warm then sneak up the throttle till you get a bit of black smoke . Diesel is mixing with petrol in engine then drop the change over and it will go. The change over lever does a complete change , drops the decompression valve and also cuts the petrol and sparks . Well actually it closes off the petrol ignition chambers which increases the compression for diesel running.

Don't know the exact procedure for switching from petrol to diesel but when you open the throttle for the diesel it should switch off the half compression which it uses for running on petrol 👍

Good day from Ontario. So this is in BC. This wan't taken 2 days ago U would have colder weather than that? Was that a train horn ? The 1st W-6 I don't think is super. Go to #4 spark plug it should say 264 cu in Emblem on front says older The w-6 on wagon has 4 bar steering wheel, probably 18 in front tires & it is 53-54 ?? Don't know nothing about gas-diesel Ty Frank from Alberta knows all about older IH tractors. Thanks

The carburetor is fixed, air set. You can’t control the idle speed on it. Make sure you got fuel going to that carburetor.

With it running on gas, bring the throttle up to about 1/2 and bleed the diesel side. It will inject diesel while running on gas with the throttle open. If you aren’t getting fuel at the injectors the rack in the pump could very well be stuck.

Thanks for the info. I’ll have to get on it soon. I was unable to run it on gas as well. So the to do list is piling up.

It's all fun and games until one of them old tires loses air on the road.

No need to convert them to 12 volt. Unless finding 6 vac batteries are heard in your area, a well maintained 6 vac system will start perfectly. I have a Super A on original 6 vac and it starts on the first crank and charges perfectly. Again up to you 😅

The rack in the pump is probably stuck from sitting
