I Couldn't resist buying this beast

McCormick W9 Tractor Added To My Fleet

[@tyfrank3427]

Those are not remnants of home made hydraulics. Those are remnants of the factory hydraulics. The tank and valve are the correct ones. All that's missing is the pump and hoses. That's a fuel pump, not a diaphragm fuel shut off. Originally they didn't have a sediment bowl on the tank, just at the fuel pump. Never run in firth gear off road.

[@lohiacres4651]

That makes sense. I was confused the diaphragm pump as fuel shut off. Yes, the tank sediment bowl was a later addition. I wasn’t sure about the factory hydraulics. Happened to see a Farmall MD today and it has exactly the same tank, valves and has the missing hydraulic pump Thanks Ty for your valuable information

[@very5ick112]

yeah what he said : Never run in firth gear off road

[@paulmurphy5964]

I see why you couldn’t resist. Nice seeing the parts new and old presented the way you did. Good job.

My Grand Dad had a W-9 when I was a small boy, 65 years ago. In the spring 3 men would take shifts plowing with it 24/7.

[@lohiacres4651]

The guy I bought this from has almost the same story. Yes she is a beast

[@virginiagraber9070]

WOW Nice. W-9 DAD Years ago, Awesome!!! Thank you. (Naaman ,Indiana)

[@Patrick-xd8jv]

We had a WD9 to pull a 5 bottom plow. For “fun” once, I hooked it up to a 22’ 480 disc and it pulled it fine, but slowly. Best to turn the steering wheel while rolling 😬

luv them old girls

[@rusttrail3]

What a gorgeous tractor, I love this, it's like a Farmall on steroids. 🤣

[@wilmamcdermott3065]

I ran one of those thumb wreckers pulling a breaking plow was rough on the fingers at 8 years old. My dads was a WD9 super

[@deweydodo6691]

Fuel pump bolt down on our tractor has a plate over. Gravity feed works just fine.

Nice to see her running!!

We had International harvester company set up shop in Australia in 1912 making farm implements later tractors but also opposition company's like fordson, Massey Harris, nuffield, Massey Ferguson , Chamberlain tractors Australia the company was eventually bought out by John Deere

New sub here. I'm an International/Farmall guy myself.

[@gilreynolds9282]

Good job cleaning the carb

[@brokenwrench1]

what does the large lever do that is to the right of the seat. IH had a W9R made for rice, a hand clutch was installed so the driver could stand up and clutch the tractor

[@lohiacres4651]

That lever is for locking the brakes when parked. This one has foot clutch

Thanks. I have noticed it after the video is uploaded. Will keep a watch on this next time

[@davidvogel6359]

what did the fluids look like, engine, transmission, rear end, radiator, gas tank? looks like it could be a good one.

[@lohiacres4651]

Fluids are all looking good except the engine oil little murky. The gas tank sediment bowl had varnished gas, so needed some cleaning before the start

[@wilmamcdermott3065]

Big enough to do most things on the farm back in its day

[@jefferystrange7476]

Nice find and great clean up on those parts. What did you use?

[@lohiacres4651]

Regular parts cleaner from Princess Auto. Can’t remember the brand

[@wilmamcdermott3065]

Loved the case 932 i had

[@lohiacres4651]

The one you see is case 931. She smokes a bit, but otherwise a good runner

@@wilmamcdermott3065I hear you. Coincidentally I have a Cat D7E 17A. She needs some tinkering

[@jackmill4235]

That is not a home made hydraulic handle.

[@lohiacres4651]

You are right. Those looks be all aftermarket items installed after the fact. Edit: Some forums says they are IH factory offered add ons. Not sure

[@deweydodo6691]

They look like newer hydraulic parts off a 600/650
