Help identifying these McCormick Deering Machines?

These machines have been fairly well preserved in the barn at our 200 year old family farm in West Virginia. I know that the machines are relatively "new," but I don't know anything about them--when they're from, what they're used for, interesting characteristics. It was easy to pick out the brand name on the first machine because it was so well taken care of, but I don't have any information about the ride-on. Could anyone help me out with this?

They are grain drills. They are used for planting oats, wheat, rye and other similar food grains. They are in excellant condition for being from the 1920's-1940's.
 
Thanks, do any of you know a closer estimate of when they were made? Or where I could fine a year or serial number on the machines to find out more?

I'm also interested in learning more about how to take better care of them so that they stay in such good shape. They're in the barn and we don't use them so they don't get too much weather unless it's really nasty out.
 
My best guess on the one in the middle photo would be from the 30's. I have model 11-7 that is made mostly of wood with wood wheels. It gets used for a few acres every year and works well. I have found mine to be from the 20's. Hope this helps.
 
Poke around here for awhile and you should find what you are looking for,

Middle one is the newest being a IHC Model MF and made up into the 1950's in both the high wheel model on steel or a 36" rubber tire or a low wheel rubber tired model. The F in MF indicates fertilizer. M is the plain drill.
