Model History[]
- For Company history see
- Main article: International Harvester
In 1948 the McCormick Farmall C replaced the McCormick Farmall B. The C was longer, taller, and heavier than the B. It developed more power from a higher governed speed, 1,650 rpm instead of 1,400. The C was designed from scratch as a tricycle type instead of being a modified offset design like the B. The C had larger diameter rear wheels and straight axles instead of the previous drop-drive design. The straight axles made it much easier to change tread width.
Tractor Comparison[]
The 20 pto hp Farmall C listed for $1510 in 1950. The Case VAC and Oliver 60 were approximately equal in power and price, while the John Deere MT was priced lower than the Farmall. The Allis-Chalmers C, Gibson H, Massey-Harris MH20, and Minneapolis-Moline RT had larger engines than the Farmall and developed more power. By the end of Farmall C production the new Allis-Chalmers CA, Minneapolis-Moline BF, and Oliver 66 were even more powerful. International Harvester enlarged the engine of the C and turned it into the Farmall Super C.
