McCormick D-Serie
5 models in this series
McCormick D series – five tractors from the IH plant in Neuss from the 1950s, the D 217 Farmall to the D-326, two- and three-cylinder engines of 12.5 to 18 kW, 1,065 to 1,536 kg unladen weight
The McCormick D series was built in the 1950s at the International Harvester plant in Neuss and comprised both standard tractors and narrow-tread Farmall versions for row-crop work; the register lists here the D 217 Farmall, the D-217 Standard, the D-320 Farmall as well as the D-324 and D-326. The number in the type designation names the model size, the Farmall suffix the narrow build for row crops.

The register lists here five versions with 12.5 to 18 kW, or 17 to 24.5 hp, from two- or three-cylinder engines of 1,217 to 1,825 cm³ displacement, torque from 86 to 99 Nm, unladen weights from 1,065 to 1,536 kg, lengths from 2,570 to 2,750 mm, widths from 1,581 to 1,640 mm and heights from 1,397 to 1,560 mm at a rated speed of 1,900 rpm.
As compact diesel tractors for smaller and medium farms, the D series competed with the small tractors from Deutz, Fendt and Eicher on the German and European market, marking the shift of many farms from horse teams to diesel tractors.
When buying used, the condition of the injection pump and cooling system, wear on clutch and gearbox and corrosion on sheet-metal parts and wings matter; spare parts for the Neuss-built IH engines are available through dealers specialising in historic farm machinery. On the older standard versions, steering geometry and the condition of the front axle also deserve attention.
