Introduction

John Deere WA-14 Four-Wheel Drive Tractor

The John Deere WA-14 is a high-horsepower four-wheel-drive tractor produced between 1968 and 1970. It was manufactured by Wagner in Portland, Oregon, under a contract with John Deere to bridge the gap between the 8020 and 7020 series. Only 23 units of this heavy-duty machine were built.

Engine and Powertrain

The WA-14 is equipped with a 14.0-liter, liquid-cooled inline engine producing 225 horsepower at a rated speed of 2100 RPM. The drivetrain features a Fuller RTO-910 transmission, providing 10 forward and 2 reverse speeds. Shifting is facilitated by a 355.6mm dry disc clutch, allowing for gear changes on the move via double clutching. The tractor utilizes planetary final drives for efficient power delivery to the wheels.

Hydraulics and Handling

The hydraulic system is an open-center configuration with a total capacity of 52 gallons (196.8 liters). It offers a standard pump flow of 15 gpm, with optional configurations providing up to 65 gpm depending on the specific setup. The tractor is maneuvered using power steering with a dedicated 30 gpm flow, and braking is managed by a pneumatic system.

Dimensions and Operator Environment

With a wheelbase of 136 inches and a total weight of 26,520 lbs, the WA-14 is designed for stability during heavy draft operations. The operator station is standard as an open platform, with optional cab, heating, and air-conditioning systems available for environmental control. The machine features a ground clearance of 19 inches.

Electrical System

The tractor operates on a 12-volt electrical system powered by two batteries in an 8D group, providing a total capacity of 205 AH. Charging is handled by an alternator, and the system uses a negative ground configuration.

Conclusion

"The John Deere WA-14 represents a specialized period in North American tractor manufacturing, combining Wagner's engineering for heavy-duty logging and agricultural machinery with John Deere's branding. Its limited production run of 23 units makes it a significant machine for collectors of high-horsepower four-wheel-drive tractors from the late 1960s."
