McCormick Deering?

Directly behind my great Uncle Vernon's house in the ghost town of Kanona, Kansas there's been an enormous vehicle frame which I've always wondered about. The town's been deserted since 1949 and I haven't been there for a number of years.

Posting images of old Kansas Scenes, I placed a photograph of it's rusting carcass on my Flickr site. To see if log onto Flickr.com. Search under People for KansasPhoto. Take a look at the set of photos under Kanona. It's entitled "Great Beast."

I'm fairly ignorant about such things and I've always wondered about it's smooth, but extremely wide rear wheels.

Yesterday, in the only store in Mildred, Kansas, there was a collection of very old tractors advertisements. I immediately saw a photograph of a very old McCormick Deering and I instantly recognized the rear wheels and understood that the holes in the wheels once held cleats that were removed.

If there are any McCormick Deering fans out there, could you send me a note with any information? I'd appreciate it.
