Farm Implements of
McCormick-Deering and
International Harvester

McCormick-Deering and International Harvester designed and produced farm equipment that liberated human resources, otherwise committed to providing daily sustenance for the family. The invention of the reaper by Cyrus McCormick became an enabler for entry of the Industrial Age. From the first successful reaper demonstration in July of 1831, to the introduction of other farm implements then coupled with the advent of the tractor - International Harvester has delivered a powerful combination of machines which largely enabled mass crop production.

Today, aging farm implements are among the most difficult items to locate, to repair and to find accurate information to support period correct restoration. As with our passion for tractors, we are also working to identify farm implement enthusiasts as well. However, we don't expect this area to progress as rapidly as others.

One of the best places to see historical implements teamed with antique power is at the myriad of tractor and threshers shows around the country. These active and working demonstrations occur on any given weekend across the country and you can check out our "Links" page to find a show in your area.

So, all that being said, we welcome your suggestions and assistance in developing this area of interest. As always, we hope to make available stories from you and others who have worked to restore antique farm implements.
