McCormick Deering W-30

Hey all -

Attached are photos of a 1939 McCormick Deering W-30 tractor that followed
Calvin & I home from the East coast of the Thumb of Michigan yesterday.
The thing runs & drives well. It realistically needs a few days of
several tweaks and some fluid changes, and would be good enough for the
painting process (scraping, wire wheeling, bumping & them painting) to
begin.

Per the book, it is a 1939 and was originally ordered from the factory with
rubber tires, thus giving it a road gear. None of the tires match nor
look all that good. It has 4 speeds, is crank start (and started right
up after sitting nearly 4 years on some pretty smelly gas), and per the
book, weighs a little over 5000 lbs.

We have lots of stuff going on at home these next few weeks that is
unfortunately not tractor related, thus it won't get a lot of attention for
a few weeks, but we will be working to make sure it is ready for the
Riverbend Steam & Gas show in Allendale, MI on July 15-16.
