Tractor sighting

centash · Jul 10, 2019

Taking a few days off and touring Prince
Edward County and Wolfe Island in eastern
Ontsrio just north of New York State. Lots
of farmland but it seems prosperity has
left with the farmers,lots of unused farm
buildings. Did see s few old tractors and
one fellows IH collection. Some of the best
corn we have seen this year and lots of
unseeded acres due to the wet spring. On
the way back to our campsite we came across
a dairy farm having their annual twilight
meeting and BBQ....what better place to
stop and eat and enjoy the local
atmosphere. Thanks Loyslist farms!

Have you ever been down to Lambton county? My grandfather was born in Florence in 1855, moved to Michigan and eventually to Minnesota in about 1905. We have traveled through that country a couple of times, seems real prosperous now.

What is the beautiful gem in between the Massey and the propeller?

McCormick Deering W-30?

in-too-deep · Jul 10, 2019

I thought McCormick, too.

But, the top radiator tank isn't quite "tall" enough, if you know what I mean, to be a McCormick.

But now I'm thinking MH Pacemaker. Which is on my to-do list.

McCormick-Deering W-12

Athol Carr · Jul 11, 2019

That little tractor between the Massey-Harris and the propeller is definitely a 12 series McCormick-Deering, it has the later attached McCormick-Deering nameplate, the tank is 12 series but the wheels make it a W-12 (pneumatic tyres were an option) as the O-12 had pneumatic tyres, the Fairawy-12 had 8 inch wide steel wheels or pneumatic tyres, the I-12 had solid rubber front tyres or pneumatic tyres. Whether it is a W-12 or W-14 could only be determined by a closer look at the right-hand side of the engine, the W-12 had a engine vent as a pipe running diagonally down across the front of the engine whereas the W-14 had the vent on the side of the valve cover. An example of a 12 series is my 1937 (December 1936) O-12, OS-2346

Nice pictures. No Twilight meeting in our county this year, local Holstein club couldn?t find any farmers willing to host the event. With everyone so far behind in planting and haying, I sure couldn?t find fault with no one volunteering. Don?t stray too far from the north shore of Lake Ontario, or you will be out of farm land , and into the land of rock and trees.

Thanks for posting, Athol. You've got a gem there!

If you like IH, there's an extensive collection not far from where you are in Athens Ont. Owned by Tackaberry Construction. Never been there myself but have seen some of this tractors and trucks at the IPM when it's in this part of Ontario.

Happy camping
