The tractor ref books often have different info, not unusual when looking for 50-80 year old data... The original Waite (about 1913-1916) had a Wauk 31/2x51/4 (per I&T's 1916-25 history; specs but no power rating); The Elgin 9-18 a Buda 33/4x51/8; The Elgin 10-20, (oddly listed as a 17-27 by I&T) the Rutenbur 41/8x51/2.
