McCormick-Deering W-30

The McCormick-Deering W-30 is a utility tractor that hails from an era when tractors were transitioning from steel wheels to pneumatics. It operates with a 2WD chassis and is powered by a 4-cylinder International Harvester engine that runs on distillate, with a displacement of 283.7 ci. The powertrain is governed through a simple gear-driven transmission with 3 forward gears and 1 reverse gear. The W-30's engine, with a bore and stroke of 4.25 inches and 5.00 inches respectively, is cooled by a liquid system capable of holding 44 quarts of coolant, while its maximum rated RPM is 1150. It navigates on steel tires, with the front tires measuring 30 inches in diameter and 4.50 inches wide, and rear tires at 36 inches in diameter and 12 inches wide. Overall dimensions are 122 inches in length, 66.3 inches in width, and 60 inches in height, and the tractor weighs in at 4850 lbs. Notable features include its oil bath air cleaner and Zenith carburetor. The absence of more modern amenities such as PTO speeds, hydraulic types, and brake systems underlines the vintage nature of this tractor.
