Step back in time with the McCormick-Deering FU235, a robust utility tractor that rolled off the production line in Saint-Dizier, France, between 1957 and 1959. Manufactured by McCormick-Deering, a proud part of International Harvester, this machine embodies the rugged dependability and practical design characteristic of its era. Let's dive into what makes the FU235 a noteworthy piece of agricultural history!

Engine Powerhouse

Under the hood, the FU235 boasts a 4-cylinder, liquid-cooled diesel engine. This reliable powerhouse delivers a solid 26 hp (19.4 kW) at a rated 1650 RPM, ensuring it has the grunt to handle a variety of farm tasks. With a displacement of 122.7 cubic inches (2.0 L) and a bore/stroke of 3.125x4.00 inches, this engine is built for endurance and efficient operation, featuring a substantial oil capacity of 5 quarts [4.7 L].

Versatile Transmission

Navigating the fields is made straightforward with the FU235's gear transmission, offering 4 forward gears and 1 reverse gear. This setup provides the flexibility needed for different speeds and applications, whether you're plowing, tilling, or transporting. The transmission itself holds a generous 19 quarts [18.0 L] of oil, ensuring smooth and reliable performance.

Built for the Field

Designed as a two-wheel drive tractor with an open operator station, the FU235 prioritizes accessibility and a clear view of your work. Its agricultural tires, sized 5.00-15 for the front and 10-28 for the rear, provide excellent traction and stability on diverse terrains. With a substantial diesel weight of 3571 lbs [1619 kg] and a length of 104.7 inches [265 cm], this tractor offers a solid foundation for demanding farm operations.

Thoughtful Dimensions

The FU235 offers practical dimensions for maneuverability and performance. Its width can be adjusted from 49.2 to 75.2 inches [124 to 191 cm] at the front and 44.5 to 70.5 inches [113 to 179 cm] at the rear, allowing adaptation to various row spacings. With a ground clearance of 20.1 inches [51 cm] and a height of 55.9 inches [141 cm] at the steering wheel, it's well-equipped to handle uneven ground.

Conclusion
