"There's no tractor to compare with it"
These are words of WD-45 Tractor owners.
From coast to coast, farmers who own the WD-45 are praising
the performance of this great new tractor. And there’s no doubt
about the reasons for such high praise — it’s performance . . .
and price!
The new POWER-CRATER engine gives you the power
you’ve always wanted. This mighty power plant plus AUTO-
MATIC TRACTION BOOSTER lets the WD-45 pull three
bottoms almost effortlessly through fields often considered im-
possible to plow.
And conveniences, like SNAP-COUPLER, POWER-SHIFT
wheels, and TWO-CLUTCH POWER CONTROL add up to
a tractor that’s unmatched in features and performance . . .
One demonstration will prove it. And the price will save you
hundreds of doUars. Let us show you.
SNAP-COUPLER and POWER-CRATER are Alll«-Chalmer* trademark*.
