Can anyone help me find a picture of a bright red McCormick Deering tractor that a prosperous North Dakota wheat farmer might have bought in 1934 or 1935? I am writing a biography of Coya Knutson, Minnesota's first congresswoman, who grew up on her family's farm (Christine and Christian Gjesdal, parents) near Edmore, ND. She told me in a 1984 interview that she drove one of three new tractors home from the store in Edmore to their farm eight miles away. Her father and a farm hand drove the others.
I'd love a picture, or a lead to a picture of a similar tractor.
Is McCormick-Deering the current company name? Its the name she told me in 1984. What would have the name been in 1934-35? Thanks so much!!

It is my understanding Farmall tractors were not painted red until 1936 or 1937. Prior to that time, they were painted a dark gray.

The McCormick Deering Tractors would be under the Farmall section of this site. The 1934-35 tractors of their line would be the F series ( F-12, F-20, F-30). The McCormck Company and the Deering Company (not Deere) merged and formed the International Harvester Company.
