McCormick Cub
Series: Other models
The McCormick Cub is a tractor from McCormick. Power comes from a four-cylinder engine; from 1 litres it draws 9 hp (6.9 kW). Rated output is reached at 1,600 rpm, so it works in the lower rev range.

It runs on petrol; the engine is water-cooled. As standard, it runs on 4.00 x 12 tyres at the front and 7 x 24 at the rear. 253,185 units were produced in all. Within the range, rated power spans from 9.4 to 55.8 hp; with 9.4 hp, the Cub sits at the bottom end. The next one up is the CT28HST with 28.4 hp.

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.
