  • I put the new/old fuel tank on the McCormick Deering 10-20, start up the engine, and go for a ride. Along the way, I explain some of the cool features and history of this nearly 100 year old tractor.

    Very cool Pete. My grandfather's first tractor back in the day was a McCormick Deering 10-20. Never seen it or heard it, but I'm sure it was very similar to yours. Keep the old iron running. Thanks for sharing.

    A year later my Dad bought a used F20.

    Wow that should be a museum. You could clean it up and paint it and charge people to come look at all your cool old tractors. My Late Father told me when he was a kid he went to the N.C. state fair and they had a tractor breaking land against a team of mules and he said the team of mules won the contest but he said it wasn’t many years before the tractor was king. Hard to believe a pair of mules could beat out that tractor. I am sure they had some in the early 50s that out classed the mules.

    I found this vid looking up info on the old tractors my dad's family had when he was younger on their farm (outside of Elmira, NY) and saw you're in Lansing!
    My dad's family had two of these - one with steel wheels and one with rubber wheels they kept running into the late 70s, though by that time they were mostly used for belt power. I'm more into the fuzzy tractors myself, but I can appreciate a nice old piece of hardware. Listen to that engine!

    Found this old video. The old McCormick is a familiar machine too bad I had no time or interest back in the day to learn all the fine details of this machine. My mind was more on other things then paying attention to old machines. Now that im getting older I hate to admit this but: learn while you can until they disappear for good from this world.

  • @williamtfinnegan1359
    @williamtfinnegan1359 3 года назад +2

    Nice video. Growing up I remember we had a McCormick-Deering Tractor. I have been trying to figure out what model it was. I suspect something like a 15-30.
    It was definitely bigger than the 10-20.
    I recall the throttle and spark-advance were two paddles that had a little wash-board arc that they clicked against
    The engine required priming. As far as I remember it always ran on gasoline.
    It was mounted on rubber. The drive wheels were probably 18 in wide. The steers took a 15inch auto tire. The front wheels were discs and needed to be disassembled to change the tire.
    A definite "feature" was the exhaust. I recall a piece of 3-inch diameter galvanized pipe was screwed into the manifold. It It stuck out about 2 ft.
    It had magneto ignition but I don't recall any settings for starting
    I suspect it was built in the mid-to late 30s.

    Thanks!

      Sounds like the 15-30 or a later rated 22-36. My grandfather had a 22-36 and it had the throttle and spark advance on the steering column. I loved that tractor.

    Brings back memories of the 10-20 my dad used for filling silo back in the early 60's.It was last used in October 1965 then driven into his machine shed and parked where it still sits today.The shed is collapsing and I need to get the tractor, my 1966 Cyclone GT muscle car and a treasure trove of antiques out before the building completely caves in. I'd like to see the tractor run again but my older sister who inherited a 50% interest in it forbids me from restoring it.She's an idiot.

    Love this video. Thanks for sharing. We have a 10-20 on our farm that my grandparents bought used for $500 in 1945. It’s a 1939 one of the last ones built. We also have a 1939 Farmall H that my dad bought at a auction as well.
    I didn’t realize that you needed to set the mag on the 10-20. We always had a heck of a time trying to start it now I see what we had been doing wrong all those times.
    Thanks again for sharing.

    • @JustaFewAcresFarm

      The magneto model was changed during production of the 10-20. Early ones like mine had an E4A with a manually set impulse coupling. Later ones like yours had an F4 magneto with an automatic impulse, so there was no need to set it.

    • @jon2140
      @jon2140 3 года назад

      @@JustaFewAcresFarm thanks for the update. I had never known that. I’ll have to check and see if the magneto is original. I believe it was changed shortly after grandpa got it. But this will give me an idea of what the differences are and what to look for. Thanks again. Love the content and the help!
