Ethylene glycol-based antifreeze with corrosion inhibitors. Typically a 50/50 mix with distilled water. Refer to manual for specific type and freeze protection level.
Common Wear Points:
Wear in pivot points for linkage, clutch wear (if manual shuttle), hydraulic system leaks (seals), common for tractors of this age. Proper maintenance from the manual mitigates these.
Electrical Corrosion:
Electrical connection corrosion in damp environments is a common issue for agricultural machinery, requiring regular inspection and cleaning.
Heritage:
McCormick is a historic name in agricultural machinery, revived by ARGO Tractors. The MC series represents a continuation of this legacy with modern technology.
Evolution:
The MC series replaced or evolved from earlier McCormick or compatible tractor designs. The 'Power6' designation indicates specific engine upgrades or transmissions introduced for later models.
Production Period:
Likely produced in the early to mid-2000s, following ARGO's acquisition of the McCormick brand. Specific production dates for each model variant would need to be confirmed.
