McCormick/IH hybrid? March 01, 2012 07:43AM
Heres my thoughts, seeing as you cannot build a true mccormick for the super farm class, would building an ih (say 1066) then putting a mccormick hood (the ones that resemble the mx 155) and register the tractor as a mx 155, but for the mccormick fans, you get a paint job that shows mccormick stickers peeling off and have mx 155 stickers underneath?
I know this will start a fight, but I'm curious to what the opinions are on this!

McCormick tractors are the old mx maxxums so I don't see a problem. No different then all the new trctors pulling with the good ole 66 series hidden underneath.

yes, but those classes are more lenient on manufacturers lines. for a super farm, the sheet metal has to match the tractor or an updated version which makes building a mccormick difficult

use the cummins from what i understand the 8.3 block will accept the 9.0 crank, if I am not mistaken eddie kerr went this route for his families oliver. I wouldn't be worried about the engine as much as the rear and trans who out there is making custom gearing for a McCormick. I would love to see one but personally I think it would fit in a light pro class better than superfarm. Heck for that matter the 5.9 are getting some big numbers for the truck guys but I don't know if it would be enough torque to compete in a superfarm.

The Case IH 7140 had the 505 (8.3) Cummins in it, as did all the 7100 series I believe. From what's on Tractordata.com, all the Magnums have the 8.3 Cummins from the factory, even though all the pulling tractors with magnum tin have the IH 400 series block.

The sheet metal part numbers on the first series of McCormick MTX are exactly the same as the Case IH MX 100-170. You shouldn't have any trouble painting it the McCormick colors, but you would have to register it as a Case IH to pull it in NTPA.

the ztx series from McCormick all used the 8.3 cummins but how many would know a mtx or xtx from a ztx

Mr. Richwine doesn't care about the rule book. It.s his way, the rule book is only really the ntpa comic book!!!!! If you build it, they.ll approve it. just send in the membership fees...

I believe the 5.9 and the 8.3 have the same bolt patern on the back of the block.
Dont quote me on this but I hope it helps.

You are all missing the OP's point. If you build a 1066 then put maxxum sheetmetal on it, It is still an IH-CaseIH tractor. No different than putting magnum sheetmetal on it. Then you can put whatever paint and decals on it. As long as it is registered as a mx1?? Case Ih its all good!
