MCCORMICK-DEERING SUPER BWD-6 POWER
ENGINE DETAIL
The McCormick-Deering Super BWD-6, powered by the International Harvester BD-264 diesel engine, offers a balance of power at 50.5 hp and relatively low operational RPM (1450), providing efficient torque delivery suitable for heavy-duty tasks. With a displacement of 264ci, it efficiently manages heat dissipation via its liquid-cooled system, yet the oil and coolant capacities (8 qts and 22 qts respectively) necessitate regular maintenance for optimal performance. Ideal for agricultural applications requiring steady power with durability, the tractor may face challenges in terrain demands due to its size despite its robust build.

MCCORMICK-DEERING SUPER BWD-6 ENGINE
The McCormick-Deering Super BWD-6 is powered by a robust International Harvester 4.3L 4-cylinder diesel engine, providing reliable torque for demanding farm tasks. Its 17.4-gallon fuel tank offers extended operational capacity, making it suitable for longer workdays in the field. However, the relatively smaller engine displacement may limit power for larger implements or high-load conditions compared to modern tractors.

TRANSMISSION
The McCormick-Deering Super BWD-6 tractor features a gear transmission with 5 forward and 1 reverse gear, providing adequate versatility for various field tasks. Its dry disc clutch offers reliable engagement but may require more maintenance compared to hydraulic alternatives under heavy use. With an oil capacity of 44 quarts, it's crucial to maintain proper fluid levels to ensure optimal performance and longevity of engine components.

MECHANICAL
The McCormick-Deering Super BWD-6, with its 4x2 2WD chassis, is ideal for light to medium-duty farming tasks but may face traction challenges on uneven terrain or soft ground. Its mechanical steering provides direct feedback, enhancing maneuverability, while the 5-speed gear transmission allows for reasonable speed control and versatility; however, it may lack the ease of operation found in modern hydrostatic systems. The open operator station design facilitates visibility and airflow, but potentially exposes the operator to environmental elements.

MCCORMICK-DEERING SUPER BWD-6 TIRES
The McCormick-Deering Super BWD-6 features an agricultural front tire size of 6x16 and a rear tire size of 13x30, optimizing traction and stability during field operations. The larger rear tires enhance weight distribution and reduce soil compaction, making it suitable for farming applications. However, the narrower front tires may lead to challenges in steering and maneuverability in tighter spaces or uneven terrain.

DIMENSIONS & TIRES
The McCormick-Deering Super BWD-6 features a compact 78-inch wheelbase, enhancing maneuverability in tight spaces, making it suitable for smaller farms or diverse terrain. The combination of 6x16 front tires and 13x30 rear tires offers a balance between traction and stability, allowing for effective plowing and cultivation tasks. However, the smaller front tires may limit load-bearing capabilities, so careful consideration is needed for applications requiring heavy lifting or towing.
