McCormick-Deering Super BWD-6

The McCormick-Deering Super BWD-6 is a standard-tread tractor recognized for its reliable service on farms during its era of operation. With a 50.5 horsepower International Harvester BD-264 diesel engine and a sturdy chassis configuration of 4x2 2WD, it was designed to handle a variety of farming tasks. The tractor achieves its motive power through a mechanical steering system and a 5-speed gear transmission, characteristic of the period's technology. Its dry disc clutch facilitates smooth transition between its 5 forward gears and one reverse gear. This tractor's dimensions, with an overall length of 125 inches, width of 69.5 inches, and height of 66 inches, were conducive for stability during operation. Although we lack specific details on the tire sizes, the presence of Ag-style tires suggests that it was well-equipped for traction in agricultural settings. A notable aspect is its electric starter system—a feature that undoubtedly added convenience to the tractor's operation.
