Introduction
Cockshutt 1755: Row-Crop Tractor (1970-1975)
The Cockshutt 1755 is a row-crop tractor produced between 1970 and 1975. Part of a series that includes the 1655 and 1855 models, this machine was engineered for versatile agricultural field operations, providing 95 horsepower.
Engine and Performance
The tractor is powered by a liquid-cooled, 6-cylinder Waukesha-Oliver gasoline engine with a displacement of 283 cubic inches (4.6 liters). It features a bore and stroke of 3.875 by 4.00 inches and operates at a rated 2400 RPM. The engine requires 7.6 liters of oil and 18.9 liters of coolant for proper thermal management.
Transmission and Drivetrain
The 1755 offers two distinct transmission configurations: a standard 6-speed gear transmission with 2 reverse gears, or the Hydraul-Shift partial power shift transmission, which provides 18 forward and 6 reverse gears. The latter allows for on-the-go shifting between under-drive, direct-drive, and over-drive for each gear. Both options utilize a 305mm cerametallic disc clutch.
Hydraulics and PTO
The hydraulic system utilizes a closed-center design with a pump flow capacity of 20 gpm (75.7 lpm) and a system capacity of 6.75 gallons (25.5 liters). The independent rear PTO supports both 540 and 1000 RPM speeds, ensuring compatibility with a broad array of implements.

The chassis is available in either two-wheel or four-wheel drive configurations. It features power steering and differential hydraulic dry disc brakes. The 2WD model has a wheelbase of 103 inches, while the 4WD version features a wheelbase of 86.25 inches. With an operating weight of 9,600 lbs, the machine provides a stable platform for various field tasks.
Hitch and Capacity
The rear hitch is categorized as Type I/II, with an optional Type II/III configuration available. The rear lift capacity is rated at 4,000 lbs, with a maximum capability of 6,000 lbs when using the Category 3 setup.
Conclusion
With its 95 hp engine and flexible transmission options, the Cockshutt 1755 serves as a capable, mid-range row-crop tractor suitable for a variety of farming environments.
