This 'tricycle' configuration McCormick Farmall C Tractor is on display in the parking lot of a McDonalds fast food outlet, on the US 27 South, near exit 55 on the Interstae 4.
International Harvester first introduced the Farmall C in 1948 with a C-113 (113 cubic inch, 20 hp) 4-cylinder
in-line, overhead valve and thermo siphon water-cooled engine. Some models produced in the early 50's
were painted white for promotional purposes and are considered somewhat rare.
The Super C replaced the C in 1951 and was produced for 4 years through 1954. The tractor had adjustable rear tire spacing (with sliding hubs).
The tractor is very versatile and used primarily on small farms or for small jobs on large farms. This tractor is
still in use today on farms large and small. They can also be found in the shops of collectors and lined up in
neat rows at antique tractor shows. Due in part to their usefulness and handy size, many of these tractors
have been preserved and they are not considered rare at this time.
