A Tractor Tribute: See The Beautifully Restored 1947 W-9 McCormick Deering

We head to central Texas for the story of a beautiful W-9 McCormick Deering farm tractor like one that was used in the rice fields of the Lone Star State back in the 1950s. Bernard Selensky restored this tractor to honor the late Neil Burnside, a World War Two B-29 pilot and rice farmer who helped out with work opportunities back in Bernard's high school and college days. The W-9 tractor was in the International Harvester line up from 1940 to 1953. Burnside farmed about 500 acres of rice with four W-9 tractors.

    Mr. Burnside must have been a very special gentleman to impact a young man in such a lasting way. We should all aspire to being a Neil Burnside style mentor to a young understudy in our lives.

    Up until the mid 1980s a neighbor farmer had a W9 and used it for plowing and pulling his one row corn chopper.

    Back in the day when people cared and handed down more than material things. I have tools and odd bits from 60 years of collecting and treasure some items given to me by men i looked up to and learned from over my youth. collected items have a real value when its from a man who cared and helped me in my youth. Thanks to all of them. I am now passing on stuff to the next generation.
