Introduction
McCormick-Deering 10-20 TracTracTor
The McCormick-Deering 10-20 TracTracTor is an agricultural crawler tractor manufactured by International Harvester in Chicago, Illinois. Produced between 1928 and 1931, this machine represents an early period of tracked agricultural mechanization.
Engine and Performance
The tractor is powered by an International Harvester 4-cylinder liquid-cooled engine with a displacement of 283.7 cubic inches (4.6 liters). It operates on kerosene at a rated speed of 1000 RPM. The engine features a bore and stroke of 4.25 by 5.00 inches (108 by 127 mm), delivering a claimed 20 belt horsepower (14.9 kW).
Transmission and Drive
The 10-20 TracTracTor utilizes a gear-type transmission providing 3 forward gears and 1 reverse gear. The mechanical configuration is a crawler drive, utilizing tracks for propulsion, which enhances traction and stability on soft or uneven agricultural terrain.
Operator Station
The machine is equipped with an open operator station. This design provides the operator with unobstructed visibility and direct access to the mechanical controls, which was standard for agricultural crawler tractors of this production era.
Conclusion
The McCormick-Deering 10-20 TracTracTor serves as a representative example of early 20th-century crawler tractor technology. Its design, characterized by a liquid-cooled engine and tracked propulsion, was intended for demanding agricultural tasks requiring high tractive effort.
