- Опубліковано 8 бер 2020
- 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.

That's a beautiful tractor and he has true tractor fever
Two great old timers.....
I've been likin' tractors since I was a little boy, back around 1951 ...
Beautiful old tractor Ernie. You made it look brand new. Good job.
Beautiful machine! BOOM
I love this channel. You guys/girls precedent tractors that I grew up with or overhauled
estored. More stories than I can talk. Very huge memories.
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 wore a Farmall cap and my nephew had Deere cap. I am searching for a M&M cap.
I noticed that he also has a pretty sharp old F-100 early in the video too.
I think that is a Ford Ranger.
Very cool Tractor looks like IH got a Jump on Diesel technology .. same for Trucks .. IH made a lot of Start on Gas run on Diesel engines.. they were in Bulldozers and road graders ect..
WOW!!
A GREAT STORY
GREAT HISTORY
I DIDNT REALIZE THAT I-H STARTED DIESEL PRODUCTION FARM TRACTORS THAT EARLY!
THE VERY FIRST GAS TO DIESEL START SEQUENCE IS ALSO QUITE DIFFERENT THAN THE LATER VERSIONS ,ALSO WITHOUT ELECTRIC START!
THIS IS ONE OF THE VERY BEST AUMANN PRESENTATIONS, AND THEY ARE ALL GREAT!
I was shocked by the late date of tractors in farming. So, I Googled and yes! First introduced 20 years after they were used on the battlefield.
Art in motion!
Grandpa had the first WD 40 that was sold by Markle’s Implement in Glasgow Montana. My cousin still has the tractor. It had the optional IHC hydraulic system and power steering put on in later life. Late 50’s maybe early 60’s.
I was working out in scobey Montana in 1993 and somebody had one there at a little threshing show, first one I ever saw.
marks mopar I use to work for the GM dealership at Scobey. Solbergs. Now I am in Opheim, 50 miles west. When I was at Solbergs, I worked on the lights & ran them at the Dirty Shame Show. 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.
What were you doing in Scobey?
@@darrelfuhrman8217 my brother and I hauled the railroad ties off the old line from scobey to opheim,spent a lot of time at four buttes and peerless bar and we stayed on Dean swansons old farm not to far from Wallace fladigers place.i had a lot of fun out there.
@@darrelfuhrman8217 is that old international truck still sitting by the elevator in opheim?
marks mopar Opheim was the end of the line. Then Scobey. Now from Plentywood to Flaxville the railroad is parked full of the group of 5 cars that haul containers. The Peerless bar has been closed for 4 to 5 years. My daughter use to tend bar in Peerless for Tarin. She also tended bar in Scobey, Rutr’s on Main Street, north west of the stop light. Might of been MJ’s or Green Door when you were there. Ponderosa is still there. Banjo’s Club 109 just sold last year. Ever since CRP came in the late 80’s, it has been rough on those small farm based towns.
Looks like an excellent restoration on the old WD Farmall. Hearing some of the story behind the tractor made it even better. We're so spoiled with today's equipment, just jump in & turn the key verses those steps he demonstrated in the start up of the WD. Stay safe.
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.
@@whalesong999 You're right about the issues with getting the newer equipment repairs done. The WD featured in the video was & is much easier to work on. The manufactures of agriculture equipment & automotive vehicles have made it very difficult for anyone to work on things unless you're factory trained & qualified.
The old fellow Is as special as the tractor 👍
Beautiful restoration! Great to see the starting procedure of the early "gasoline start" diesel engines explained. The later "gasoline start" diesels, built up to 1958 in wheeled tractors and 1962 in crawlers, had a simplified , semi -automatic systems.
Awsome ride
I love them all to but my late dad was a deere guy. But he had other brands to. My favorite was a john deere 70 diesel he had.
Wow! A 70 diesel. I personally seen more propane models.
If you sled that 70, turn up the injection pump.. Maximum fuel. Change oil a lot.
Great to watch.
Old tractors are just like you remember. Old girlfriends get too mean to restore.
And nobody wants to buy them.
Excellent story on the WD40
Beautiful Story and beautiful old diesel tractor!
great story, great man, great tractors. Thanks!
Thank you for Sharing this story and tractor! Very Interesting and impressive with the original owners stories about it! Nicely done 😊
Wow that is an amazing collection.
Great video. Very nice restoration and entire collection.
Great man. Thanks for the videos
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 The WD, or TD 40 is a 4 cylinder. The WD 40 all the way up to the TD 14A are 4 cylinder. The TD 18 at 691 cid.
4 & 3/4” bore by 6 & 1/2” stroke.
The TD 24 at 1,091 cid.
5 & 3/4” stroke by 7” stroke.
@@darrelfuhrman8217 The tractor was quite old with no markings. The owner said it was a WD-40, but it looked larger than the video here. It was quite a bit stronger than the M Farmall even when the M was turned up to nearly 2,000 rpm.
Paul Aydelott Was it a tracked or wheels?
I am assuming wheels. All the 50 series were 4 cylinder, like 350, 450, 550, 650. The 60 series, 460, 560, 660 were all 6 cylinders. The 660 was a little longer than a WD 9, Super WD 9, 600, & 650.
Next came the 06 series in 61 & 63. 606 61, 706 63, 806 63, 1206 65.
If it was a wheeled Ag tractor I would bet that it was a 660.
@@darrelfuhrman8217 It was on wheels. As I recall, the front wheels were quite large--20" rims with truck tires. Unfortunately, the sawmill burned along with the old tractor. It looked like a beast to 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.
Cool tractor.
You sir are a very awesome fellow.
My grandmother's cousin bought the first diesel tractor in Ireland, which he still used when I was a child in the 1950s
Good to hear the historie
beauty
That last minute
Awesome tractors and a pretty nice looking F-100 too!
Very late 60s or early 70s for sure, weren't the early F100 also called ranger?
@@thomasglynn2282 I believe some were, it was a package for the line of Ford trucks. I know that in the 90's they had XL,XLT and Eddie Bauer edition.
Very interesting unit.
Great video!!! I know a guy that has 3 wd-40's in my area. I have a wd-9 that is a real beast. Trying to buy a 450 deisel at the moment, but wife wont let me. I just love those start on gas deisels
farmall fan I have several wd 9 a swd9, swd6, a td6 and 400diesel. None of them run cracked heads and some bad cylinders. Now I have no time or $$$ to work on them but someday
take that wonderful wife to wherever and do whatever she wants and tell her you love her then if all else fails beg like a fool but get that 450
Go Buy it then ask for forgivniss
@@neredneck7230 Chemiweld is magic-in-a-bottle!
@@patrickschneider6174 thanks I’ll have to check it out
I would love to see and listen to it run the sawmill or a thresher at the Albert City Threshermen's and Collectors show in Albert City, Iowa.
Yes me 2!!!!
Pain in the ass to start but it's a whole lot better than a mule.
Garrett became part of Agricultural & General Engineers (AGE) in 1919. Before going bankrupt in 1932 the company developed a diesel powered tractor considered by many at the time to be the finest in the world. One of the company’s associates was Frank Perkins who went on to achieve great things.
Cool. I always wondered what the first one was. Now I know!
My dad recently got a W 40 it’s the 39th to the last one made this one was commonly used at the Virginia State fair the To power sawmill back in the 70s and 80s
I grew up with a MDTA, started on gas the swished to diesel, she was a workhorse.
IHC was a very innovative company.
I spent a good part of my youth on a Farmall MD. I sold it wnd than purchased it back but it needs a total restoration ... . My retirement plan!
I grew up near New London WI and when I was in my teens I had the use of a 1936 Case gas powered tractor. No idea where it ended up.
Sure engine's have a long way! But the old engines will still run after all the years
I was wondering why that Diesel engine had a magneto until I saw the starting procedure.
Now I know where International got the motor for the original TD-9. There was also a gas version, the T-9.
❤️
Hell, the IH my brother and I used in our grove was 48 BHP= this is at 44
There's a WD 40 on farm next door in Australia serial No 2001 it's in a shed and all original
long live him and that old tractor it looks better than day ihc sold it woonder where parts came from for engine?
Wonder if he has an extra set of those 32" tires?
I find it interesting that the founder of Internationals last name is"DEERING".
The founders were Cyrus McCormick and someone Deering. They merged together and formed IH
@@CheeseMiser William Deering
IM FROM Wi
20 miles south west of Pulaski
cool! yesterday I bought a nice john Deere 40,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
OLSKOOL I used to have a JD 40 but sold it when I moved out of NY.
Is it a 40 utility or 40t. Cuz I'm sitting on my 40 t right now
A different attitude. Almost like the easier life has gotten the more unhappy people are. I was always intrigued by how IH engineered their early diesels in regards to starting as much as I am with starting the John Deere's using a pony engine like the 70 diesel that I grew up with.
you mean the first American Diesel... because in Europe there were the Lanz Bulldogs and the Fowlers that have Diesel engines in the 1920s.
We have a 1925 Imperial McDonald diesel.
has...ha...good video , Old driver old tractor ....
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Interesting that their was a WD-40 before their was a WD-40.
"Their" who? Homonyms and homophones. Learn them. Starting with "there", "their" and "they're".
@@coloradostrong Oh, sorry I sometime mix them up. Good thing we have English teachers on line, Thanks Mrs. English !
#Squatch253 just listed a video for a possible complete rebuild engine (if not, lots of parts) for this tractor.
My Friend had a Farmall M Diesel you couldn't leave it in the Shed and Get your breath
god
Heard that was first year for rubber tires-???? 1935
Add a turbo to it! Haha 😂
Beautiful restoration but shouldn't a 1935 be painted gray?
I was wondering that too
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.
Farmall Fanatic didn’t think to see you here but I guess your Chanel is about farmall/McCormick
@@colewise6493 i saw the title and destroyed the play button lol
Ikon Sees Mr No A lot of dealerships repainted the gray tractors red when they had them. It would take about 3 to 5 years off of a used tractor. I worked in the 80’s for what had been a IHC, Pontiac, GMC dealership in the 30’s, 40’s, 50’s. In the 60’s & 70’s it added Buick, Chevrolet, & Steiger. In mid to late 70’s it gave up the IHC & Steiger. In the 80’s it added Oldsmobile.
I heard a lot of IHC stories.
1917 to 1928 fordson tractors were kerosene powered making them earlier
WD-40 lol
He farted trying to start it 3:31
So this is what you do when your rich and white I guess.
first world diesel powered tractor was the italian "Cassani 40cv" 1927
Cassani was the man created the brand "Same"
it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cassani_40_CV
Deutz experimented with diesel engines in tractors pre 1910. McDonald and Benz both sold a diesel powered tractor in 1922. So Cassani was not first.
@@sjg3890 it wasn't a farm tractor.... it was a truck
Do you mean Deutz? That's not what I read. It may have been the other way around as in Rudolph Diesel experimenting with his engines in Deutz tractors around 1907-08 roughly. I take this as the first diesel powered tractor. There is so little information on it. Cassani was certainly not first.
