Update:
Here is a good example of no maintence or even cleaning your tractor turns into, although I got lucky. The seals were shot and coated the calipers and rotors with a thick layer of 90wt, I read someplace this can be caused from extended road driving and heating the axles up, after a while the seals fail. It was a pretty easy fix if you have the big tools to it, the seals ran about $120 to do both axles. Also the studs were bent on one side from not having the lugs torked but the was a simple replacement.
Took about as much time to clean the crap off as it did to do the actual seal replacement. I found Purple Power from Kragens and a pump sprayer works pretty good as a pre soak before the pressure washer and after scraping the big chunks off.
Once the oil / grease build up was washed off I was surprised to see the rotors and pads had been preserved perfectly and looked to be in great shape so I cleaned them real good with brake clean and re used them.
After everything was put back together I realized the brake peddle and horn were not working, I pulled the treddle valves apart and discoved they were full of dirt but the diaphrams were not damaged so cleaning all the diaphrams including the air horn, everything came back to life with out any additional parts needed.
I've found Machinery Trader online has several tractor wrecking yards across the country and orderd front fenders, gauge cluster and a couple other small parts that were missing.
Hope to get some paint and decals on it in the near future, will update this when it happens.

That's kind of a old post, haven't seen him on in a while. There is a lot of w18/20 out there still running. Any series your looking at or a straight w18/20.

Thank you for the reply sheepfoot, I saw it was an old post so esp. Thanks again. I wasn't really looking for any series in particular more just one of either the 18 or 20. Are there any significant differences between the two?
