may be, probably is, the coolest thing I've seen this month from a "maker" and family point of view, a 1/2 scale McCormick Deering tractor a dad made for his daughter, at the Symco Union Thresheree



thanks to my sister for noticing this and sharing it with us!

McCormick-Deering 15-30, 1924-26 with the Pomona Vortox model 118 oil-bath air-cleaner


To see a few others, look up Pat Prom, from Eden Prairie, Minn. Prom previously built three different half-scale Deere models - including an 830 Deere - that were featured in Farm Show magazine (Vol. 22, No. 3).  https://www.farmshow.com/a_article.php?aid=12351

and Bud Hengstler, Richard Etzkorn, and Bob Zink, of Wapakoneta, Ohio, using their full-size tractors as models.

  1. FYI That man did not make that McCormick Deering 110, it was made by Francis Sturm

    1. Ok, you say so, but my sister talked to them and said he did. Can you tell me where I can verify online that Francis Sturm made it?
