  • The McCormick-Deering WD-40 was an industry leader and holds the title for the first wheeled tractor with a diesel engine in North America. This tractor belongs to Bernie Wicka who is the same age of the tractor. This is the same tractor Bernie threshed with in the late 1940s and 1950s.
    The McCormick-Deering WD-40 is powered by an International Harvester 460 cubic-inch, 4-cylinder diesel engine that can do 37 horsepower on the drawbar and 48 horsepower on the belt. It has a transmission with 3 forward speeds and 1 reverse speed.

    At the Oklahoma State Fair, one old timer watched me and my young nephew mill around. I explained what did what and what it was for. That kind gentleman asked me "What color you like?" My answer was simply "I will take one of each" He smiled and laughed! Each of us walked from the area.

      I recently saw a video on the kinds of repairs that can come with the new machinery. It revolves greatly on computer interface and getting permission to do the work one's self to bypass always having to take it to a dealer. The report made it look very expensive and awkward to service the new machinery and laws are being passed to give legal permission to bypass factory protocols so that machines can be adequately serviced on site. Since I come from a time where we worked the farm with perhaps a JD model "D" and such less complicated machines, it makes farming today look very off putting.

The dance hall girls in the theater. Three tractors that I have never forgotten, the MM UDLX factory cab, heater, wiper, jump seat, lights, 40 mph road gear.
      I think that it was a Massey Harris it was the first articulated 4 wheel drive tractor.
      One that I don’t remember the name, it was built in Canada about 150 miles from Scobey. It had a plow attached to the tractor like a 3 point hitch plow. It had a huge cylinder that lifted up the plow, the you had to put in a pin. I never saw that tractor run.

    In the 1960s as a 16 year old, I worked at a sawmill powered by a kerosene burning WD-40. It was a six cylinder engine. Running full throttle, it would shoot fire out the exhaust. It took the biggest man at the mill to crank it. We also had a Farmall M also belted to the mill. Once the saw pinched; the belt flew off the M; the old tractor just kept getting slower and slower as the flat belts started smoking until somebody disengaged the belt drive.

      Paul Aydelott I am betting that it was a IHC 660, built 1958 to 1963. They were mostly red some white. Most had manual steering. When you sat on the seat most were metal & some fabric like a Farmall A through M.
      The 606, 706, 806 had power steering standard, most had cabs. Built 1963 to 1967. Paint was about 2/3 red, 1/3 white. Just be glad that you doing have to steer it today. Where you say that it was a beast to drive, I am sure that it was a 660, also that you were running it on kerosene it had to be a 660.

      I think you're right. I'm away & can't get to my books at the moment or I'd look it up. Red paint should have been applied 1937 & after. Unless ordered differently. I didn't hear Bernie say that his family was the original owners of the tractor. Judging by the pre restoration picture, it looks like it could have had a dealership paint job. The IH McCormick Deering decal is another indicator of that idea. It's a good possibility it was taken on trade by a dealer & painted red & re-decalled to look like the new or newer tractors on the lot. Or his family repainted it & that was the only paint they could get. Either way that's a sharp tractor. I'd love to have one in my collection, but I'm going to hold out for an early Regular.
