McCormick UTILITY range – International Harvester's light utility tractors: FU-235 to FU-267 D, D for diesel, four-cylinders of 2.0 to 2.2 litres, 26 to 35 hp, 1.33 to 1.82 t, diesel or petrol
The UTILITY range was the light utility tractor in the McCormick programme of International Harvester, which had carried the McCormick name on its European field tractors since the 1920s. The FU-235 to FU-267 D models and the UTILITY-SUPER FC-C formed the entry class for small and medium farms; the D in the model name marks the diesel version, while models without D ran optionally with a petrol engine, as the fuel mix in the register also shows. All versions carry four-cylinder engines of around two litres.

The register lists 6 versions with 18 to 25.7 kW (26 to 35 hp) from four-cylinders of 2,011 to 2,228 cm³ at 1,650 to 2,000 rpm, torque from 118 to 157 Nm, unladen weights from 1,330 to 1,820 kg, lengths from 2,765 to 3,100 mm, widths from 1,720 to 2,080 mm and heights from 1,416 to 1,700 mm, mostly with a diesel engine, alongside petrol and combined petrol/diesel versions.
The UTILITY range targeted mixed family farms for which a large International Harvester tractor would have been oversized, with simple engineering and low upkeep as the selling point against competitors such as Fiat, Ferguson and Deutz.
On used tractors, engine and injection pump or carburettor on petrol versions, clutch and gearbox, hydraulics and PTO, brakes and sheet metal and frame for rust count; parts for the old McCormick-International tractors now run mostly through specialist dealers.
