Some industrial tractors were included in production. Beginning in 1951 the by now entirely Australian-made Geelong tractors were designated as AM and AW-6, with McCormick International branding for tractors destined for farm use and International for industrial tractors. Production ran until 1954 [2] [3] [1]
The predecessor to the W-9 was the McCormick-Deering W-40, a bigger version of the International W-30 with a six-cylinder engine, which was itself a wide-front-axle version of the Farmall F-30. A diesel-engine version was available, the WD-40. Both tractors were also sold as industrial tractors, the I-30 and ID-30. Production ran from 1934 to 1940.
The tractors are named for the McCormick family of Chicago and Virginia. The Doncaster plant was the headquarters of the McCormick company. The plant had a long history of producing tractors for Case IH and International Harvester and under its new ownership continued to produce tractors for Case IH under the terms of a European antitrust ...
Throughout the 1960s, IH introduced new tractors and new sales techniques. As producing tractors was the lifeblood of the company, IH would have to remain competitive in this field. They both succeeded and failed at this goal but farming was about to change. In 1963, IH introduced the 73 hp (54 kW) 706 and 95 hp (71 kW) 806 tractors. Until the ...
The new models were given slightly different looks and a few new features, but were still essentially the famed Letter series tractors. The Farmall Cub continued unchanged, but in 1955 a new 'low-boy' version was added, featuring a shortened 62.5-inch wheelbase and a frame eight inches lower than the regular Cub tractor, which improved the ...
The Farmall C is a small two-plow row crop tractor produced by International Harvester under the Farmall brand from 1948 to 1951. The C was developed from the Farmall B as a slightly larger, more versatile implement, raising and moving the B's offset operator seat to the centerline and increasing the wheel size to allow a straight, widely-adjustable rear axle.
In all, IH produced 44,551 Super M tractors, 5,199 Super MD tractors and 26,924 Super MTA tractors. [5] High-clearance variants for farming vegetables and other high crops were also produced, including the Farmall MV and the MDV (diesel), as well as a standard front version (W-6) and the I-6 industrial tractor.
Dealers were expected to repaint these tractors back to IH Red before sale. [3] However, some of these demonstrators were sold without being repainted. The market of this little tractor was the small-acreage farmer, and it was designed by Farmall engineers in the years following World War II to replace a horse or mule for farming purposes.
