[AT] WD45 questions

[Cecil R Bearden]

Brad:
I just did a search on ebay and found an original operators and parts 
manual and also a operators and repair parts illustration manual from 
the same seller.  You can buy them for less than $30 I believe.  If I 
could find mine, I would copy what you need. However, having your own is 
always the best.

Good luck, my first real tractor was a WD.  I always had a soft spot for 
Allis.  They had more power for their size than most.

The studs are quite rusted on the ends and I don't know that I can get the nuts taken off and put back on without replacing the studs. How likely are the studs to be seized in the head and nearly impossible to remove?
