A friend and I are trying to find out about the history of Waukasha engines, what models were used in what appications, and what manufactures besides Oliver used their engines. This includes agicultural engines, power units, stationary engines and so forth.

I have tried the internet search but have come up way short of anything useful. Any and all links and info would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Jerry B

I have had problems finding parts for a FC waukeshaw and had a oliver parts,A person send me to an industrial parts place: dealer parts network, 1100 maple ave. columbus, WI 53925 try 1 800 558 1848 I have found parts at Napa, in machine shops, and by chance. I know that these motors were used in Hough Payloaders, Ingersol Rand Air Compressors, and I'm sure other aplications. I have a small unit in an early Thermo-king refridgeration unit. As far as I know they were a good motor, and I have had good service from several applications. We also have one in a trailer type air compressor it was a VIK and am told that Oliver 80 used the same motor as well as Huber. The FC is in a Hough HA payloader, we had a Hough H 25 with a waukeshaw gas (mid 1960's 4 cylinder) I have not had much luck finding a waukeshaw fan club ( they did some odd things like shims in main and rods from the factory)but I would like more info, as I know there were lots built and they lasted a long time. (FC motor was used from 1938 till late 1950's Forward any good input you get Please, Kent

What my friend and I are actually looking for is: WHERE IN THE WORLD CAN WE FIND WAUKESHA ENGINES BIGGER THAN WOULD BE FOUND IN FARM TRACTORS? The engine used in Massey Ferguson 1100 gas is a big Waukesha. We have some of them, but we are looking for still others. We figured Waukesah/Oliver was like MinnMo and produced some huge engines for power units and natural gas transmission purposes and other dry fuel services.

We have 1800's, 1850's, 1855's and so forth, but I am willing to bet somewhere out in the industrial world there is a Waukesha even bigger than these. Not the newest versions availible but rather the older ones based on the same agricultural block and head or slightly larger.

Go to www.enginecore.com and talk to some of those guys that are selling the Waukesha engines. I have had good luck finding information from some of the people over there.

Allis-Chalmers used a Waukesha 145GZ inline 6 cyl gas engine of 817 cubes in the M4 high speed tractor they built for the Military in the early 40,s. Twin 145GZ,s where used in the M6 tractor, they are rated for 190 Hp at 2100rpm. Danny at M&M Surplus Sales Bronx N.Y. at 718 828 9026 sells parts for Waukesha engines.

The waukesha 145gz engine was first introduced in 1940, used in fire trucks,U.S army tanks,(built by Allis Chalmers), buses, etc. It is still being used today in the oil and gas industry on gas compressors and power generators, now known as the F817, its (big brother) is the F1197, other old larger ones are the F1905, H2475, L3711, 1616 and the 554. The first waukesha engine built was in 1907 know as the model A.

Jerry , if your looking for an Oliver waukesha engine in any other piece of equipment , it would have been sold by Oliver , not waukesha. For example: some of the older "Lull" lifters. Oliver casted all there own engine blocks. Waukesha only did the machining part. I'm talking about the fleet line series and up. Not shure about the Oliver-Hart Parr. I would have to check into that.

I'd like to know what equipment Waukesha's were put into besides olivers as well. I'm still looking for a 180DLC (Super 55 diesel) engine in something other than a 55/550. (more affordable) Buying a $3000 tractor just to get the engine is dumb.

Huber also used the same Waukesha engines as the Oliver Row Crop (18-27, 18-28 and 80) and Oliver 28-44 in the 1930's. On of the engines used by Huber was Waukesha VIK 21.

Jerry, first of all, you're spelling the name wrong. It is Waukesha and probably the two foremost marques that used these engines were, as you so well say, Oliver, and Allis-Chalmers. I believe the first Farmall F-12 also used a Waukesha. It is hard to ascertain because a lot of times a tractor company has its engines built by a third party and then puts their (the tractor co.) name on the engine. They're what is referred to as "trade secrets". You can go to Link
