McCormick-Deering OS-6

The McCormick-Deering OS-6 is an Orchard/Vineyard tractor, designed with a low-profile structure to navigate easily between rows of trees or vines. It operates with a 4x2 2WD chassis, which provides adequate maneuverability for such specialized tasks. The tractor is powered by a 4-cylinder International Harvester gasoline engine with liquid-cooling, delivering a displacement of 247.7 cubic inches. Engine details such as rated RPM and power output are not specified but given its high compression ratio of 5.65:1, it would have provided a relatively efficient performance suitable for its tasks. The transmission is a 5-speed gear with one additional reverse gear. This combination of speed options would allow the operator to select the appropriate speed for various orchard tasks. The specific engine model details, valve configuration, and cylinder orientation were not given. Further specification regarding the tractor's dimensions, weight, and operating capacities also remain undisclosed. It would typically support a Category 3 hitch, but the exact hitch type and lift capacity were not provided. As for the operator station and starting method, no information was available to deduce these aspects.
