Farmall C 3 Point
Farmall tractors go all the way back to the early 1900’s, but the Farmall C’s came in to production in the late 1940’s. It all began when a merger happened between many large manufacturing companies. The McCormick Harvesting Machine Company, which was formed by Cyrus Hall McCormick, as well as many other manufacturers all came together and created the International Harvester Co.
They were well-known for producing harvesting equipment. The beginning of their legacy started in 1905 when they started experimenting with tractors. They weren’t your standard cub size tractor, they tractors were massive and very powerful. But, one of their downfalls at the time was that they were very clumsy.
The International Harvesting Company was just started to experiment on tractors and their first ones were providing to be useful in several situations, mainly large areas because of their size. There size was also a downfall, because they were not the best tractor to use for small farms.
They attempted a small tractor later on in the future and it became an instant star, the Mogul 8-16. McCormick-Derring farmall tractors continued to be made as well as shrunken throughout the years. Then came the famous letter series of tractors that started in 1939. A, B, H, and M.
International Harvester produced many of these machines in their time, and they were extremely well known as being one of the biggest manufacturers of farm tractors. Eventually, time went on and in 1984 the company was bought out. There is a long list of tractors that existed throughout their time, I’m going to go through the list to let all of you know when and what they were called.
From oldest to newest:
Farmall B from 1939 to 1947.
Farmall M from 1939 to 1952.
Farmall H from 1939 to 1953.
Farmall BN from 1940 to 1947.
Farmall Super A from 1947 to 1954.
Farmall Cub from 1947 to 1957.
Farmall C from 1948 to 1951.
Farmall Super C from 1951 to 1954.
Farmall Super M from 1952 to 1954.
Farmall Super H from 1953 to 1954.
Farmall 100 from 1954 to 1956.
Farmall 200 from 1954 to 1956.
Farmall 300 from 1954 to 1956.
Farmall 400 from 1954 to 1956.
As you can see, there were quite a bit of farmall tractors made, and they all came to an end by 1956. But from 1924 to 1963 they sold the most row crop tractors. Suprisingly the Farmall H was the best seller and at the end of manufacturing it had sold over 390,000. McCormick-Derring farmall tractors have so much history to them, they have definitely paved the way for harvesting machines today. They were the first for many new inventions and breakthroughs in the harvesting world.
Businesses have picked up concepts and ideas from this company, they have shaped history in their own unique way, and advanced in technology over the years, always producing better and newer tractors for people and companies to use, investing in a farmall tractor if a tractor is needed in your situation is a great way to take it back fifty years and drive around what they drove back then. You’ll realize that the quality of work is comparable to what we have nowadays. But, of course it won’t be exactly the same.
Technology is getting better and better every year, businesses are advancing and it is inevitable that new products, and new breakthroughs are going to be happening over and over again. Someday we’ll see tractors run on water, simply by putting a few, or more gallons or water into a tank and then your tractor will run on the most abundant natural resource in the world that consists of over two thirds of the world.

Pile of parts Farmall B
I got an early start this morning and got this project together enough to run and drive it! The only problems I ran into is the radiator has a seeping leak and I had to swap out the carb for a different one.
Pile of parts Farmall B: second update
I had time after work last night to get some more done on this project. I got the engine mounted and then got the front end bolted to the engine. I used some line up pins to help center the engine and it lined right up and went in.
Farmall Tractors Are My Love
I love the Farmall. And own a piece of Americana. While driving up through Sussex County near the Delaware beaches recently, I spotted a lone Farmall Tractor, I think it was a venerable H, rusted and vine covered.
