McCormick - Deering ?

Saw this today at a roadside restaurant. Thought I'd share it. Colors seem to be all wrong, but what do I know

It looks like my W30 but it is on steel.

I have one like it, that one is missing side currents. Mine is gray, don't think there is suppose to be any red.
That one has a lot better rear fenders than mine. Also mine does not have the factory draw bar.

Looks like a 10-20

D beatty · Feb 6, 2018

Any tractor made after Nov.1 1936 was painted red. So you can find 10-20 or W30 in gray or red depending on when it was built. My 1938 W 30 never had currents.

Can't help much with the tractor, but I think that's the Country Cousin restaurant in Centralia, WA.

How's your dad? He came to see me one time to look at my Oliver 550, for some reason.

That old tractor has likely served several faithfully for a longer time than the owner has lived and deserves something better than the ugly, disgraceful green and yellow paint. The old tractor should have been permitted to rust and ripen for his last years of faithful service. It perhaps plowed the wheat fields to produce flour to make the bread to feel soldiers of the War or powered the sawmill to make lumber for school and church buildings. It has had its dignity taken from it. Now he weeps tears of 140 gear oil remembering how some farm family celebrated the new tractor that would relieve the tired old mules and save the owner from having to walk out to the barn to feed the mules. The sons of the owner boasted to the other boys at school of the new tractor. The owner would faithfully open the petcocks on the side of the oils pan to assure that there was engine oil level to work a ten hour day. The neighbor boasted how little kerosene it to plow the back field of a neighbor's field as the owner volunteered to help a sick neighbor make his last crop. Sweetfeet. please rescue this tired old tractor and give him a better retirement than sitting in front of a restaurant with people walking by and saying, "glad we have something prettier today!" Owner needs to give an apology for the abise and neglect. [erha[s give a confession at church.

Or, we can just mind our own business because it's their tractor and they can paint it whatever %$#@ color they want to...

Fact of the matter is the paint is probably helping to preserve it more than anything, "wrong color" as it is.

Mike M · Feb 7, 2018

They must of been reading all the threads on here how Green & Yellow costs and brings more money ! So there you go . It might not of captured your attention otherwise ?

SweetFeet · Feb 7, 2018

moonlite,
Awww, it's too late - once painted, you can never go back.

Well, at least not for a long, long, long time.

Still an interesting hunk of old iron to park outside a business.

rustyfarmall · Feb 7, 2018

Obviously it was painted by an un-informed person who believes all farm tractors were produced by John Deere.

Moonlite37 · Feb 7, 2018

Looks as bad as John Wayne in a mini-skirt and Go-Go Boots! Sweetfeet/ You just need the painter(?) to give an apology followed by a novena

Must have been built by Case Deere before McCormick bought them out and they went their separate ways.

RalphWD45son · Feb 7, 2018

You are correct Coshoo

dr sportster · Feb 7, 2018

That was painted by a real wise guy !

RalphWD45son · Feb 7, 2018

And he is doing fine. teaching me about AC's. Got his WD45 converted to 12 volt with sealed beam. Working on the CA now. Thanks for asking.

Hi, I believe rrlund is right. Ha ha EdWill Oliver BC

Poor old W-30 needs rescued

tractorguy38 · Feb 7, 2018

This tractor could also be the one that sits beside the restaurant at the end of highway 12 in ELMA WA

hd6gtom · Feb 7, 2018

1020 with add on oil filter. Mine did not have 1.
