Introduction
McCormick-Deering TD-35 Agricultural Crawler Tractor
The McCormick-Deering TD-35 is an agricultural crawler tractor produced by International Harvester between 1937 and 1939. Manufactured in Melrose Park, Illinois, this machine was designed for heavy-duty field operations requiring significant traction and stability.
Engine and Performance
The tractor is powered by an International Harvester 4-cylinder, liquid-cooled, vertical I-head diesel engine. It features a displacement of 413.5 cubic inches (6.8 liters) and a bore/stroke ratio of 4.50 x 6.50 inches (114 x 165 mm). The engine operates at a rated speed of 1100 RPM, delivering 41 horsepower to handle demanding agricultural tasks. The cooling system has a capacity of 52 quarts (49.2 liters).
Transmission and Drivetrain
The powertrain utilizes a gear-type transmission providing 5 forward speeds and 1 reverse speed. Power is transferred to the drivetrain through a dry disc clutch. As a crawler tractor, it relies on 13-inch tracks to navigate various terrains, providing the necessary ground contact and stability for heavy pulling applications.
Dimensions and Operator Environment
The TD-35 has an operational weight ranging between 10,550 and 11,245 pounds, depending on the configuration. The machine is equipped with an open operator station, a standard design for this era that provides the operator with direct access and visibility over the work area.
Conclusion
The McCormick-Deering TD-35 is a representative example of pre-war crawler tractor engineering. With its diesel engine and high-traction track system, it was specifically engineered for agricultural environments where conventional wheeled tractors would lack the necessary pulling capacity or surface flotation.
