McCormick: the Farmall Super Cub (1960) with a four-cylinder engine, 983 cm³ displacement, 13 hp at 1,850 rpm and a weight of 950 kg
The Farmall Super Cub belongs to the smallest size class in the Farmall family and was intended for farms with limited acreage as well as for gardening and orchard work, where a large field tractor would have been oversized. Small tractors of this kind took on mowing, tilling and light transport tasks for which a standard tractor was too unwieldy.

The Farmall Super Cub has a four-cylinder engine of just 983 cm³ displacement, producing 13 hp at a rated speed of 1,850 rpm. At 950 kg, it is one of the lightest tractors of its time, noticeably smaller than the larger letter-designated Farmall models.
A four-cylinder engine of under a litre sits in a class more comparable to small-car engines than to classic field-tractor engines. Engines of this kind ran at comparatively high speed to reach output sufficient for the task despite their small displacement, rather than relying on the low-speed pulling power of large diesel engines.
When buying such a small, old tractor, the condition of the carburettor, ignition and cooling is especially important, since small engines of this period are more sensitive to wear than large units. Given the vehicle's small size, the frame, steering and implement mounting points should also be checked closely, along with the fuel tank and lines for age-related corrosion.

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.
- Load the hydraulics and watch for sag.
- Ask about parts availability for this build year — the running costs hang on it.
