Case WX175E SR Wheeled Excavator: E-Series 17.5-Ton Short-Radius Wheeled Excavator
The Case WX175E SR is a 17.5-ton E-Series short-radius wheeled excavator built for road-mobile utility work, municipal applications, and confined-space jobs at the 17-ton class. Short-radius tail-swing geometry keeps the counterweight inside the wheelbase for curbside utility work, and the wheeled chassis lets the machine drive between job sites under its own power.
Where the WX175E SR fits in the Case excavator line
The WX175E SR sits in Case’s WX wheeled excavator range — wheeled-chassis excavators built for road-mobile utility work, municipal applications, and any operation that needs excavator capability without dedicated transport. It positions between the WX165 and the WX185, with short-radius tail-swing geometry tuned for urban and curbside work where swing clearance is limited.

Engine, hydraulics, and drivetrain
The WX175E SR runs a Tier 4 Final diesel through a hydrostatic drivetrain to a wheeled chassis — tires, axles, and final drives in place of a tracked undercarriage. Short-radius tail-swing geometry keeps the counterweight inside the wheelbase for curbside utility work. Stabilizer outriggers and/or a dozer-blade stabilizer keep the chassis planted during digging cycles. Boom, dipper, bucket, and swing functions match a comparable-class tracked CX excavator, so service techniques carry across.
Tier 4 Final aftertreatment adds DPF and SCR (with DEF dosing) to the exhaust path. Common-rail fuel injection demands clean fuel and tight water-separation. The wheeled chassis introduces tires, wheel bearings, and axle/final-drive service items that tracked CX excavators don’t have, but eliminates undercarriage chains, rollers, and idlers.
Common service items on the WX175E SR
- Engine internals: Tier 4 Final diesel pistons, rings, sleeves, head gaskets; common-rail injection components.
- Tier 4 Final aftertreatment: DPF service intervals and regeneration behavior; DEF tank and dosing module; SCR catalyst; EGR cooler service.
- Fuel system: Common-rail injectors, lift pump, primary and secondary filters with tight water-separator standards.
- Cooling system: Radiator, water pump, thermostat, fan, charge-air cooler, hoses, belts.
- Hydraulic system: Boom, dipper, bucket, and swing cylinder seal kits; main pump rebuild; electrohydraulic control valves; hoses.
- Boom and dipper: Pin and bushing service at every joint; bucket pins; thumb attachment hardware; quick-coupler service.
- Wheeled chassis: Tires, wheel bearings, axle and final-drive service, suspension if equipped.
- Swing system: Swing motor and reduction gear service, swing bearing inspection, swing brake.
- Electrical / ECU: Engine ECU, instrument cluster, sensors, harness, telematics module on equipped units.
- Cab glass and wiper: KHN16820 24-inch wiper blade, KHN3046 front lower glass, and KHN2632 front upper glass cross-fit across Case and Link-Belt excavators.
- Operator station: Seat, joystick controls, pedal linkage, instrument panel, cab HVAC.

Request a PartWhat to verify before ordering
- Serial number. Confirm the serial on the WX175E SR before ordering year-specific parts.
- Engine serial. Engine internal parts must match the engine serial number.
- Hydraulic cylinder bore. Cylinder seal kit fit depends on bore dimension — measure before ordering.
- Tier 4 emissions revision. DPF and DEF/SCR components saw revisions during production — confirm by serial.
- Engine ECU calibration. Common-rail injectors and ECU sensors are calibrated to specific build years.
- Bucket and quick coupler. Quick-coupler interface varies — confirm before ordering attachment-side hardware.
Why the WX175E SR still earns a paycheck
The Case WX175E SR is a wheeled excavator for road-mobile utility, municipal, and infrastructure work — it drives between job sites under its own power, eliminating the dedicated transport requirements that tracked excavators carry. Common in European municipal fleets and increasingly in North American utility applications, the short-radius variant adds urban and curbside flexibility that the standard-radius wheeled excavators can’t match.
Maintenance priorities on a WX175E SR: clean fuel, hydraulic oil condition, tire pressure and wheel-bearing service, axle and final-drive lubrication, outrigger and blade-stabilizer cylinder service, swing-bearing lubrication, and pin and bushing service. Broken Tractor maintains parts coverage across the Case wheeled excavator family.
