By the way, in my reply I used the phrase “Alice charmers”. This was a stupid AutoCorrect by my phone that I did not catch.

However I kinda like the nickname. I think I may be using it from now on. (-:

The WD as well as the WD-45 hand clutch ran in oil and was then over center clutch simply meaning it would stay in either position without being held. Those WD, WD-45, tractors had that hand clutch running in the hydraulic fluid. It was imperative you not run the fluid low. The reservoir was not that big, a large reason for the small diameter rams.

It did not take us along to go to a WD. You will really want live power for that baler, however, it could be used with the C.
