McCormick-Deering W range – five US standard-tread tractors from the W-4 to the W-30 plus the Farmall-30, four-cylinder engines of 1,853 to 4,649 cm³, 11.8 to 23.5 kW, 1,150 to 1,700 rpm
The McCormick-Deering W range comprised International Harvester's standard-tread tractors of the 1930s and 1940s with a classic fixed track width, as opposed to the narrow row-crop build of the Farmall models; the register lists here the W-4, W-12, W-14 and W-30 along with the row-crop Farmall-30 in the same power class. The models were driven by four-cylinder engines, some of the International C-152 type.

The register lists here five versions with 11.8 to 23.5 kW from four-cylinder engines of 1,853 to 4,649 cm³ displacement, unladen weights from 1,315 to 2,404 kg, lengths from 2,616 to 3,734 mm, widths from 1,270 to 2,267 mm and heights from 1,219 to 2,057 mm at speeds of 1,150 to 1,700 rpm; the models ran on kerosene or petrol engines, some on distillate.
Standard-tread tractors with fixed track width such as the W range were used above all where the narrow row-crop build of the Farmall models offered no advantage, for instance for belt work, transport and in regions without pronounced row-crop farming; International Harvester thus offered a second chassis concept alongside the Farmall line.
When buying used, the condition of cylinder bores and carburettor, tightness of the cooling system, condition of the belt pulley and PTO and corrosion on sheet-metal parts matter; spare parts for the IH four-cylinder engines are available through dealers specialising in historic farm machinery.

What to check before buying
- Check the hour meter against the service records — a replaced instrument is the most common gap.
- Compare the data plate and chassis number with the papers.
- Check the weights in the papers against the figures here — attachments change them.
- Check front and rear tyre sizes: mismatched pairs strain the drivetrain.
- Shift the gearbox cold and warm — jumps only show up at temperature.
- Load the hydraulics and watch for sag.
- Ask about parts availability for this build year — the running costs hang on it.
