Introduction
McCormick-Deering 10-20 Standard-Tread Tractor
The McCormick-Deering 10-20 is a standard-tread agricultural tractor manufactured by International Harvester in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, between 1923 and 1939. Designed as a utility machine for general farming applications, it represents a significant model from the early era of mechanized agriculture.
Engine and Performance
The tractor is powered by an International Harvester 4-cylinder, liquid-cooled, valve-in-head engine. It features a displacement of 283.7 cubic inches (4.6 L) with a bore and stroke of 4.25 by 5.00 inches. Designed to operate on kerosene, the engine maintains a rated speed of 1000 RPM and produces approximately 22 horsepower. The cooling system has a capacity of 36 quarts (34.1 L) to manage thermal regulation during field operations.
Transmission and Drivetrain
The drivetrain utilizes a two-wheel drive system managed by manual steering. Power is transferred to the wheels via an unsynchronized gear transmission, which provides three forward speeds and one reverse gear. Engagement is facilitated by a dry disc clutch, a standard configuration for the period requiring manual gear selection.
Dimensions and Construction
Built with a total weight of 3700 lbs (1678 kg), the tractor offers a stable footprint for field work. It measures 123 inches (312 cm) in length, 60 inches (152 cm) in width, and 62 inches (157 cm) in height. The machine is equipped with steel wheels, featuring 30x4.50 dimensions at the front and 42x12 at the rear, reflecting the common design standards of the early 20th century.
Conclusion
The McCormick-Deering 10-20 is a robust, mechanically straightforward tractor designed for durability and ease of maintenance. Its two-wheel drive configuration and liquid-cooled engine made it a versatile choice for farmers during its seventeen-year production run, and it remains a notable example of early International Harvester manufacturing.
