As far as I know the McCormick-Deering name was used throughout the w6 production. International badging came with the hundred series, w400 to replace the w6. That's what I've always been led to believe, could be wrong though.

Did Industrials have International or McCormick Deering badging? Like an I6.

We had a Super W6 and it was badged as a McCormick-Deering.

EDIT: Now that I think about it, it may have been just "McCormick". It's been a minute...

Ws were McCormick Deering, industrials were International, and orchards were just McCormick.

The Deering name was dropped for 1947 and after I believe.

It has “International” in chrome stencil letters on the side of the hood where McCormick was on a W6. See links.
IH W 400 on Tractordata
IH 600 on Tractordata
On the linked page for the 600 right below the rear tire of the small inset photo you see an arrow up to 650. Clicking that will let you view the 650. I linked you to the “Photo” tab of each of the tractors there are others tabs across the top with other general features or specifications. Tractordata has info like this on nearly all brands of tractors. Near the top of the linked pages clicking the word “Tractor” to the left of “International Harvester” will take you to the main index of the brands. There is a small section at the top of that page with quick links to the more popular brands. Below that is the alphabetical list of all the brands covered.

Thanks for reply although only five years old at the time I remember the w6 vividly it had white transfers on the side of the hood international above and standard below it also had a badge on the top of the radiator cowl saying international
I remember helping start it father tell me to twist the choke when he told me it backfired and I ran like the hounds of hell were chasing me.

Deering was dropped from decals in late forty’s or early fifty’s. There names were on the decals to as part of the merger agreement . Till last family member passed. What I understood why you only see McCormick on decal afterwards .

I think tractors meant for export from the US were labeled differently. I think they were labeled International. I have a W-6 that has the International emblem on the grill here in the US.

Im not going to argue with the experts, but McCormick Deering was used on W series until the Super W series came out when it was changed to McCormick. There were no Super "O" series made, so the Deering was dropped.

Is it possible that tractors for the British market didn't use the McCormick name and were branded as International?

Just an example, Im sure others know more about it than I have fogotten, but Ive seen several B450s with McCormick and Farmall on the hood, and others with just Farmall, and others with McCormick. These pics were in the IH archives. They had the International badge on the front. (This is just the "letter series" style of B450, not the more "squared off.") My old B450 had the McCormick above the hood line, and Farmall below it, but the front badge wasnt on there and no holes for a badge were ever made. It was all original when I got it, and the same way when I sold it.

The Deering was dropped from the decals in mid 1949. After that just McCormick. International marketing was different different coutries used different naming conventions. the old 10-20 were McCormick Deering in the US, NZ and other places but in some countries were McCormick, others Deering and some International. The use of McCormick-Deering in the US was mandated following the anti-competition court ruling in the early 1920s

Definitely not used till the supers came out. 1949 was the last year for deering on the hood. The 1950 model does not have deering. I have a 49 model and it has deering. The supers came out in 1952.

If you want to get an idea of what decals were used in what years, go hit the Maple Hunter Decals website. They have all the "correct" decal variations for the 1939-1954 IH tractors, listed with the years used. At least I thought they did... They have all the variations but not what years they were used.
