McCormick-Deering W-40

The McCormick-Deering W-40 is a classic tractor, presumably from an era when International Harvester was a dominant name in agricultural machinery. It features an International Harvester 4.9L 6-cylinder engine available in gasoline or kerosene variants, suggesting adaptability to different fuel types, a common feature in early-to-mid 20th century tractors. With an unsynchronized gear transmission and a configuration of 4 forward gears and 1 reverse gear, this vintage tractor would require skill to operate effectively. The tractor operates at a rated RPM of 1750 with an oil bath air cleaner, possibly indicating its age and technology of the time. Weights are substantial at 6100 lbs, asserting a sturdy presence. A notable mention is the steel wheel option, reminiscent of a time before rubber became standard. The dimensions suggest robustness, with 141.5 inches in length, 65.75 inches in width, and a height of 73 inches to the top of the exhaust.
