Slicker than a Yes album. | In the Jan/Feb Two Cylinder, they ran an article on the Wagner JD's. Lots of info and some literature. Figures that they are now showcasing the Mar/Apr issue on the website, so you'll have to be content with my info. Seems the mint WA-14/17 literature is very valuable, pushing $1,000 for a set.
Base price on the 14 $35,990. The 17 was $41,750
Two different remote systems (15 or 35 GPM) was $750. 3 remotes were $1375.
Tires were 28.5-26 or 23.1-30. Only the larger ones were available in Rice.
No cab was the base option. You could get a cab with fan, dome light, wiper, and full insulation for $1250
You could get the cab with either heat ($1425, ac ($1845) or both ($2020).
Heavy duty Clark 70,500 axles were an extra $6950 (Not available on the WA-14)
Both were available with a Cummins 855, 10 speeds fwd, 2 reverse (There is no company listed for the tranny. "Sliding gear type with twin countershafts. Air assist range selector) 24 volt starter, (2) 12 volt batteries.
Top speed of 15.5 at 2100RPM. 26,520lbs for the 14, 28,280lbs for the 17.
A loaded WA-14 in today's dollars is $230,000. The 17 would be $290,000.
There are only about 60 combined units out there. Start looking!
There's a lot more info, so if you really need to know the ground clearance (1'7") let me know.
