Brad Vinkemeier · Jun 16, 2016

Hi my name is Brad Vinkemeier I have been an IH collector for almost 20years I have I believe is a 1926 McCormick-Deering 15-30 I am trying to figure out exactly if my 15-30 is 1926 or if it is earlier perhaps a 1925 the serial number tag is missing it has the rounded governor housing open throttle shafts and linkages it has one small exhaust pipe in the middle of exhaust manifold and a large exhaust pipe coming out at the rear of the exhaust manifold it has the water injection carburetor it has the small gas tank large kerosene tank and the water tank it has flat roller bearings in the front scalloped wheels what I mean by scalloped the hub's where the spokes are riveted to the hub hub looks like a star the front left rear fender is same height as the right side unlike later models is there any casting numbers I can go off of any information would be very helpful thank you in advance

crawl under it and look under flywheel housing and you will see the day month and year stamped in casting. the later 22-36 will have the v belt and an oil filter.

Thank you very much I will take a look next time I get out to the shop I also have 1927 10-20 and a 1932 22-36 but thank you very much

I have found that the date on the casting does not always match the date of the SN

The numbers on the frame are not always going to be exactly the same as on the tag but as long they are close is what matters on my 15-30 it said it was made 3-4-26 which I knew It was around 26 but out wanted to know more accurate date but thank you all very much for the help
