    MCCORMICK-DEERING 10-20

    I am in Deep East Texas towards Texarkana and Shreveport. I'm game to meet up sometime in that part of the world. I'm pretty new to these tractors so, not sure how much help I would be but, I've rebuilt motorcycle carbs and similar things and grew on a farm so, I might be able to actually help...

    Awesome! That is super helpful.

    MCCORMICK-DEERING 10-20

    When you say the valve guide are manually oiled, how is this done and how often? Is it a pre-start only process or something you do while running? Or is it just an oil pick-up in the motor that carries oil up to the valves? In terms of repair after improper lubrication, is this something...

    MCCORMICK-DEERING 10-20

    For anyone up near the Canadian border in "fly over country", the Western Minnesota Thresherman Show around Labor Day in Rollag, MN is a real treat if you enjoy older tractors, horse drawn equipment, stationary equipment or, steam power! The train they run around the facility and construction...

    That is really encouraging for me and suggests pump gas is a good choice for this tractor and engine. I tend to think of Diesel and Kersosene being better generally for lubrication but, as noted they aren't as volatile so less likely to combust completely in a lower compression engine.

    Any chance we can meet up at the next Western Minnesota Threshermen Show over Labor day at Rollag, MN? Life member now and looking forward to some Volunteer action this year! Last year was awesome but, finding anyone outside of the Rumely and Prairie Steamer area was tough and out in the...

    So, Kerosene, Distillate, or Gasoline will wash the cylinders down due to low compression and won't overheat the pistons or head. And, you drain the oil down to the lower petcock and refill with some added oil to keep lubrication in the right range of what is needed to keep the motor healthy...

    MCCORMICK-DEERING 10-20

    So, with modern pump gas containing ethanol, the motor is fine and will pull a load without damage to valves, valve guides, etc.? Along with the different heat contents and flame profiles too? I guess I'm being overly cautious and a neverous "Nellie" worring about motor damage with modern...

    Looks like you are in Canada. If I wasn't in Texas, it might be worth it to see your brothers tractor. For whatever reason, when I look at past sales and auctions, it seems like most of these and similar tractors like the W-4's are in Canada.

    MCCORMICK-DEERING 10-20

    Thanks! This post is helpful to me. Yes, hand crank and manual steering. I don't have much hand crank experience but, I'm familiar with manual steering the drawbacks. In a tractor in this weight class, manual steering shouldn't be too bad unless you are in tight confines. I really love the...

    1: What can you tell me about owning and running one of these tractors? 2: What should one expect to pay for one on rubber? 3: Do they run on anything other than Kerosene? TIA, Sid This post was edited by sidpost on 03/12/2023 at 12:20 pm.

    Classic lighterweight tractors for general transportatio

    Those little 430/530 tractors look really nice! Any idea where to find one that is in reasonable shape? These seem like more of a word of mouth option like the M-M R mentioned earlier!

    Classic lighterweight tractors for general transportatio

    Yes, some of the parades I want to run have a 10MPH minimum speed requirement so, that is why I let the JD GP pass even though I found a cherry one. The JD 730LP and JD 70 are also too slow.

    Classic lighterweight tractors for general transportatio

    I appreciate your words! To be CLEAR, I'm not wanting to drive this in crowds during shows. just to and from the show and where I am parked and/or camped. The only use during the show would be in areas where service vehicles or cars travel. My campsite is typically a mile or more away and...
