Introduction
Wallis Cub Standard-Tread Tractor
The Wallis Cub is a standard-tread tractor manufactured between 1914 and 1917 by Wallis, a division of the J.I. Case Plow Works, in Racine, Wisconsin, USA. This machine represents early 20th-century agricultural engineering, designed for field operations requiring significant traction and belt power.
Engine and Performance
The tractor is equipped with a 4-cylinder, liquid-cooled gasoline engine with a displacement of 792 cubic inches (13.0 liters). It features a bore and stroke of 6.00 by 7.00 inches and operates at a rated speed of 650 RPM. Starting is achieved via a manual hand-crank system. In terms of performance, the machine provides a claimed drawbar power of 26 hp (19.4 kW) and a belt power of 52 hp (38.8 kW), allowing it to handle a 4-bottom plow setup with 14-inch shares.
Transmission and Mechanical Layout
The powertrain utilizes a gear-type transmission providing 2 forward speeds and 1 reverse speed. It features a 3x2 2WD drive configuration. Steering is managed through a manual system, requiring operator input to maneuver the 8,500 lbs (3,855 kg) vehicle across the field.
Dimensions and Undercarriage
The Wallis Cub sits on a wheelbase of 102.375 inches (260 cm) with a total length of 171 inches (434 cm) and a width of 74 inches (187 cm). The tractor is supported by steel agricultural wheels, measuring 34x14 inches at the front and 60x20 inches at the rear, providing the necessary ground contact for its weight class.
Conclusion
The Wallis Cub is a heavy-duty tractor suited for primary tillage and stationary belt work during the mid-1910s. Its design reflects the transition toward standardized, gasoline-powered agricultural machinery capable of replacing animal draft power in large-scale farming operations.
