ENGINES OVERVIEW

The Oliver 1755 tractor is powered by either a Waukesha-Oliver 5.1L 6-cylinder diesel or a 4.6L 6-cylinder gasoline engine, providing flexibility for fuel choice based on application needs. The diesel variant offers advantages in torque and fuel efficiency, ideal for heavy-duty tasks, while the gasoline engine may provide easier starting in cold conditions but could be less efficient under load. When selecting between the two, consider the typical workload and fuel availability for optimal performance.

ENGINE DETAIL 1

The Oliver 1755 tractor features a robust Waukesha-Oliver 6-cylinder diesel engine, designed for optimal performance with a substantial displacement of 310ci and a high compression ratio of 16:1, enhancing thermal efficiency. At a rated RPM of 2400, this engine is suitable for heavy-duty operations, making it ideal for large-scale agricultural tasks; however, the dry air cleaner may require more frequent maintenance in dusty conditions. Notably, the oil and coolant capacities (8 qts and 20 qts respectively) imply a well-engineered cooling system for sustained operation, though adequate filtration and regular checks are critical to prevent overheating and ensure longevity.
