McCormick-Deering  15-30 
A  Three-Plow  Tractor  With 
Ball  and  Roller  Bearings 
at  29  Points 
In  developing  the  McCormick- 
Deering  15 -30, the  Harvester  Com¬ 
pany  has  produced  a  tractor  which 
gives  maximum  service  and  econ¬ 
omy  in  operation.  The  features  in 
design  of  this  tractor  are  the  result 
of  field  experience  gained  through 
18  years  of  contact  with  tractor 
farming  conditions.  Ball  and  roller 
bearings  have  been  used  at  the  points 
of  high  speed  or  extreme  strain,  and 
all  other  parts  have  received  the 
same  consideration.  The  resultant 
smooth -running,  modern  tractor 
meets  the  many  power  require¬ 
ments  of  the  present-day  farm. 
Practical  design,  ease  of  operation 
and  handling,  make  the  McCor¬ 
mick-Deering  tractor  an  ideal 
three-plow  power  unit.  It  also  de¬ 
velops  a  surplus  of  power  to 
handle  a  great  variety  of  belt  jobs 
(threshing,  silo  filling,  husking 
and  shredding,  feed  grinding,  etc.) 
and  its  smooth,  flexible  opera¬ 
tion  and  increased  speed  make  it 
a  leader  for  all  kinds  of  draw¬ 
bar  work.

mick-  Deering  tractor.  Ask  the  McCormick-Deering
