The Allis Chalmers WF was designed as a small standard tread (non rowcrop) orchard or wheatlands type tractor powered by the engine as the WC. The tractor was a lot lower than the WC and featured a shorter wheelbase making it very manoeuvrable and compact for orchard work, seemingly these tractors were not popular given the low build numbers.
From 1937 to 1940 (up to build number 1903) WF's were all un-styled as per the photograph directly below;
