ENGINES OVERVIEW
The Cockshutt 1755 tractor features a robust Waukesha-Oliver 5.1L 6-cylinder diesel engine, providing excellent torque and fuel efficiency for heavy-duty applications, which is ideal for agricultural tasks requiring substantial power. The alternative 4.6L 6-cylinder gasoline engine offers a lighter weight and potentially lower initial costs but may sacrifice some power and fuel economy for high-demand scenarios. Depending on your operational needs, choosing the diesel variant allows for extended running time and improved durability for intensive farming, while the gasoline engine may suit smaller operations or lighter workloads.

ENGINE DETAIL 1
The Cockshutt 1755 features a Waukesha-Oliver 6-cylinder diesel engine with a robust displacement of 310ci (5.1L), providing strong torque and efficiency at a rated RPM of 2400. With a compression ratio of 16:1, this tractor offers effective combustion and improved fuel economy, but operators should be cautious of potential starting difficulties in colder climates due to the dry air cleaner and lower coolant capacity (20qts / 18.9L) for hotter conditions. The 12-volt starter system and adequate oil capacity of 8 quarts (7.6L) enhance reliability, making it suitable for various agricultural tasks but somewhat limiting in terms of extended operation without maintenance.

ENGINE DETAIL 2
The Cockshutt 1755 tractor features a robust Waukesha-Oliver gasoline engine with a displacement of 283 ci, providing a solid balance of power and efficiency at a rated RPM of 2400. With a compression ratio of 8.5:1, it is conducive to achieving optimal combustion, which can enhance performance but may require careful management of fuel quality to prevent knocking. The combination of a dry air cleaner and substantial oil (8 qts) and coolant (20 qts) capacities aids in maintaining engine longevity, though periodic maintenance is crucial to ensure optimal operation in demanding agricultural scenarios.
