McCormick-Deering FU235

The McCormick-Deering FU235 tractor, available with a choice of gasoline or diesel engines, was a robust and reliable choice for various agricultural tasks. This tractor was powered by an International Harvester 2.0L 4-cylinder engine, providing a solid performance with 26 horsepower at 1650 RPM and an engine displacement of 122.7 cubic inches. The FU235 featured a gear-type transmission with 4 forward gears and 1 reverse gear. With an electric start and an oil capacity of 5 quarts (4.7 L), maintaining this tractor was made user-friendly. The operating weight varied between 3483 pounds for the gasoline variant and 3571 pounds for the diesel version. Its dimensions were notable for that time, with a length of 104.7 inches, a width of 68.5 inches, and a steering wheel height of 55.9 inches, offering comfortable maneuverability and effectiveness in operation. Although much of the detailed specifications, such as cooling system type, cylinder orientation, or hitch capabilities, remain undocumented, the McCormick-Deering FU235 is remembered for its simplicity, durability, and ease of use.
