McCormick FARMALL-SUPER-BAUREIHE

8 models in this series

The FARMALL-SUPER-BAUREIHE series from Mc Cormick comprises 8 models. Rated output ranges from 19 to 47 hp.

McCormick Farmall Super range A to MD-TA – International Harvester's post-war classics, four-cylinders of 1.9 to 4.3 litres, distillate, petrol and diesel versions

International Harvester sold its Farmall tractors in many export markets under the McCormick brand, named after company founder Cyrus McCormick. The Super range replaced the older letter models A, C, H and M from 1953/54, bringing improvements such as live PTO and, on the Super M-TA, the Torque Amplifier, a two-step underdrive that could be shifted under load. The designations follow the letter logic of their predecessors: A/AV, C, H/HV and M/MV mark the size class, V the narrow-track Vineyard version, and MD and MDV the diesel variant of the M.

The register lists 8 versions with 14 to 34.6 kW from four-cylinders of 1,853 to 4,324 cm³, torque from 157 to 495 Nm, unladen weights from 1,082 to 2,488 kg, lengths from 2,715 to 3,683 mm and widths from 1,419 to 2,134 mm, at rated speeds of 1,400 to 1,650 rpm.

With models from the light Super A to the heavy Super M-TA, the Super range covered almost the entire power spectrum of agricultural tractors of its day and, alongside Ford, Allis-Chalmers and Oliver, was one of the defining ranges of post-war farming in North America and Europe. The fuel variety of distillate/kerosene, petrol and diesel reflects farm equipment's transition to diesel engines in those years.

On used Super models, the condition of the engine and carburettor or injection pump depending on fuel type counts, along with the condition of the clutch and, on the M-TA, the Torque Amplifier, the tightness of the hydraulics, the condition of the front axle and steering, and rust on mudguards and sheet metal. Parts are well available through the international collector market for IH and McCormick Farmall classics.
