Introduction

Wagner WA-17 Four-Wheel Drive Tractor

The Wagner WA-17 is a heavy-duty four-wheel drive tractor produced between 1961 and 1969 in Portland, Oregon, USA. Designed for demanding agricultural and industrial applications, this machine is characterized by its significant mass and high-torque engine configuration.

Engine and Powertrain

The tractor is powered by a liquid-cooled, 6-cylinder Cummins NH-250 diesel engine with a displacement of 855 cubic inches (14.0 liters). It delivers a rated power output of 250 hp (186.4 kW) at 2100 RPM. The electrical system utilizes a 24-volt starter. Power is transferred through a Fuller 10-G-1220 transmission, providing 10 forward gears and 2 reverse gears to accommodate various operational speeds.

Mechanical Configuration

The WA-17 features a permanent four-wheel drive system supported by planetary final drives. Steering is managed by a hydraulic power system, and the tractor is equipped with pneumatic brakes for stopping heavy loads. The machine rides on 26.5x25 tires and offers 18 inches (45 cm) of ground clearance.

Hydraulics and Dimensions

The hydraulic system provides a total capacity of 80 gallons (302.8 L), with a main pump flow rate of 43 gpm (162.8 lpm) and a dedicated steering flow of 33 gpm (124.9 lpm). With a wheelbase of 136 inches (345 cm) and a total operating weight of 27,000 lbs (12,247 kg), the tractor is engineered for stability in heavy traction tasks. The unit was delivered with an open operator station, though a cab was available as an optional configuration.

Conclusion

The Wagner WA-17 is a specialized heavy-duty tractor suited for operations requiring high drawbar pull and significant engine power. Its mechanical robustness and four-wheel drive architecture make it a reliable choice for large-scale land preparation and industrial pulling tasks typical of its era.
