McCormick International – Farmall range: the collective page of historic small tractors from the Farmall Cub to the F-270, 6.9 to 25.7 kW, diesel and petrol engines of 976 to 2,228 cm³
This page gathers the register's historic McCormick International Farmall tractors: the Farmall Cub and Super-Cub and the F range F-135, F-137, F-235, F-240, F-265, F-267 and F-270 along with the Super FC-D and the FCN. McCormick International was the trade name under which International Harvester sold its Farmall engineering in Europe and the United Kingdom; the Farmall Cub itself was introduced in 1947 in Louisville, Kentucky, as the smallest Farmall and was built into the 1970s. On the F models the appended letter D marks the diesel version, as the register data confirm: the D models F-135D, F-137D, F-265D and F-267D run on diesel, the versions without the D suffix on petrol.

The register lists here 13 versions with 6.9 to 25.7 kW (9.75 to 35 hp) from two- to four-cylinders of 976 to 2,228 cm³, unladen weights from 594 to 1,875 kg, lengths from 2,502 to 3,330 mm, widths from 1,200 to 2,330 mm, torque from 69 to 135 Nm and rated speeds from 1,600 to 2,000 rpm.
The Farmall Cub was for decades North America's most-built small tractor and its narrow build shaped the cultivation of row crops; the European F models of the McCormick International range served small and medium post-war farms before being superseded by larger International Harvester ranges.
On used examples of these classics, the condition of the engine and carburettor or injection pump, clutch and mechanical gearbox, rust on bodywork, the completeness of fittings such as mudguards and exhaust, and the availability of parts through vintage-tractor specialists count; original paint and markings affect collector value.

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.
