Warchalowski McCormick WT series – licence-built tractors WT-32, WT-32 A, WT-32 B and WT-45 A from Vienna in the 1950s and 1960s, four-cylinder diesels from 22 to 33 kW built to International Harvester technology
The WT series originated at Warchalowski in Vienna, where International Harvester tractors of the McCormick type were built under licence. The WT-32 type designation with A and B versions and the more powerful WT-45 A show a marking typical of licence-built machines: the number denotes the power class, while the appended letters A and B mark execution variants within the same base type. All four models use four-cylinder diesel engines of the kind also fitted in the original McCormick tractors from International Harvester.

The register lists four versions here with 22.1 to 33.1 kW from four-cylinder diesel engines with 2,346 to 2,523 cm³ displacement. Rated speed lies between 2,200 and 2,400 rpm, unladen weight ranges from 1,540 to 1,950 kg with lengths from 3,260 to 3,350 mm, widths from 1,530 to 1,550 mm and heights from 1,460 to 1,520 mm; torque lies between 142 and 168 Nm.
In the post-war period, licence production at Warchalowski gave Austrian farmers access to International Harvester technology without relying on imports, positioning the WT series in the mid power segment alongside domestic manufacturers such as Steyr.
When buying used, check the condition of the clutch and gearbox, tightness of the injection system, corrosion on the wings, bonnet and radiator grille, and the availability of parts, which for these rare licence-built machines can usually only be sourced through specialist used-parts dealers or International Harvester parts stocks.

What to check before buying
- Check the hour meter against the service records — a replaced instrument is the most common gap.
- Compare the data plate and chassis number with the papers.
- Check the weights in the papers against the figures here — attachments change them.
- Check front and rear tyre sizes: mismatched pairs strain the drivetrain.
- Shift the gearbox cold and warm — jumps only show up at temperature.
- Load the hydraulics and watch for sag.
- Ask about parts availability for this build year — the running costs hang on it.
