[AT] McCormick 15-30

[Easley, Greg]

No, I don't have a rig to haul, or a good place to work on something that
big.  I bought six other tractors from the widow lady who owns it, and she
asked if I'd be interested in taking the McCormick too.  What I'd really like
to do is find someone who was interested in buying it for a reason other
than hauling it straight to the smelter man.

Are you thinking of making it into a puller. I have a 15-30 and a 22-36 and
have thought of doing that. I dynoed the 22-36 and it read out at around 38
HP at 540rpm  But these old bucket piston long stroke engines have
incredible lugging power.  At 300 rpm the dyno was reading out at just under
70hp and was still chugging and barking with no sign of giving in.  I don't
know how this compares to other tractors but just found it interesting. Just
an FYI since I know you are into pulling.
