One can just imagine the ground this tractor has covered, or uncovered as the case may be. This rusty tractor is a real eye-catcher along Hwy. 18 on the west edge of Canton. It is a McCormick-Deering, part of a line of farm machinery produced by International Harvester Company in the early 1900’s. It has metal wheels and, although now a uniform rust color, was undoubtedly originally painted the company’s signature gray with red wheels as all McCormick-Deerings were painted. The crank in the front shows that it was built before today’s electric starters were common.
Engine Type: Internal Combustion

Wheel Type: Steel

Make: McCormick-Deering

Model: 1927, 15-30
