WC Puller

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Hey, I am new here and am trying to get into pulling, I have a few wc s sitting around with bad engines and have heard of people putting d17 gas engines in them but that made me think of putting a d17 diesel engine in one... Is this possible if so what needs to be done? On another note I would also like this to still be a useful tractor would there be an easy way to add a dual remote setup to a wc tractor?

	That's a pretty definitive no to both questions. For the diesel install you would need virtually everything from a WD45 diesel. good luck finding those parts or committing a travesty of parting one out. Also since WCs don't have any hydraulic system to start with, you'd need to address that before doing anything with remotes.

	A lot of guys that are pulling WC's are using the original block with a 4.5" stroke (stock WD45 crankshaft) from a W226 engine. It's usually a very easy conversion. If you go from a stock 4" bore to aftermarket 4.125 sleeves, you end up at 240 cubic inches. I remember my uncle's WC had a PTO driven hydraulic pump for the loader. something similar might work for a remote. The d-17 diesel engines are very expensive to rebuild and can be hard to find parts.

	The engine many have been using is a Gleaner model "E" or "E-3", which is essentially a D-17 engine and known as the G-226. They are 63 flywheel HP at 1650 RPM. A WD-45 (W-226) engine (4.5" stroke) if equipped with D-17 pistons and sleeves (7.25 to 1 compression ratio) will also produce 63 flywheel HP when using the right governor spring. 4 1/8" bore pistons that have lower compression (6.5 to 1 ) won't make any more HP. More compression is key to making more HP. The best hydraulic system pump for a WC tractor is a 400 series loader front pump driven off of the crankshaft. It fits under the radiator out of the way and is high volume at 10 GPM or more.
