McCormick-Deering 22-36

The McCormick-Deering 22-36 is a vintage tractor that reflects the robust agricultural machinery of its time. Characterized by its manual steering and gear-driven transmission, this model comes with 3 forward gears and 1 reverse gear. Housing an International Harvester 4-cylinder engine, it runs on kerosene and has a liquid-cooled system with a vertical valve-in-head configuration. The engine's displacement is a substantial 425.3 cubic inches. Its rated RPM stands at 1050, but the power output remains unspecified. The tractor's specified engine oil and coolant capacities indicate a machine designed for endurance and able to handle significant thermal loads. Rolling on substantial steel wheels—with front tires 34 inches in diameter and 6 inches wide, and rear tires 50 inches in diameter and 12 inches wide—this tractor boasts a commanding presence. Measured at 137 inches in length, 65 inches in width, and 70 inches tall, the 22-36 tips the scales at a solid 6,500 pounds, underscoring its heavy-duty capabilities. This tractor would have been a valuable asset to farmers of its time, offering a combination of simplicity and strength in its design and operation.
