Do the 15-30 and W-30 have any components in common? Were they built at the same time, or did the W-30 take the place of the 15-30? Thanks.

If you are referring to the chassis, engine, transmission, differential, final drive, etc., then they would not share any parts. However they would probably share some lesser items such as clutch pedal, steering wheel, radiator cap, air cleaner, brake lever, seat, magneto, gas tank, oil pressure gauge - those types of items.

I respectfully disagree with CNKS that the W30 was the forerunner of the W6/9. If you were to make such a rough comparison, then only the W6 would follow after the W30. The W9, being much larger would then roughly follow the 15-30 and 22-36. But in general I have a problem with these "follow-ons".

Dad owned both a 22-36 and a W-30, not at the same time. I was too young to drive the 22-36 but by the time he owned the W-30 I was old enough to have MANY hours driving it. Later he owned an M and a WD-9.

I did not mean to compare the W30 to the W6/W9. All I meant was that it was ONE of the last models before the new W series came out (see below). The W4/W6/W9 were intended to be, and were, a new line of tractors that had little resemblence to the older W series. There was also a W40 built into 1940, less HP but heavier than the W9. You are correct that we probably shouldn't compare the older W series with the later W4/W6/W9. I believe my dad had a 10-20 or a 15-30, it was not running by the time I started driving tractors. All I know about the pre-letter series tractors is what I read in Guy Fay's books.

CNKS, I now understand your position and I wasn"t trying to be critical. We all learn from these forums. Thanks. I also have a lot of hours on a 10-20 owned at the same time as our W-30.

I know little about either except that the two are not related. W30 was forerunner of the W6/9. 15-30 was built 1929-1934, W30/F30 1932-1940. W30 had a 284 cu in engine, 15-30 a 425 cu in engine. Doubt if they shared any parts at all. 15-30 weighed 6540 lbs, W30 4820. However, both were used for the same purpose, pulling tillage implements or belt work, as opposed to row crop. The F30 was the row crop version of the W30. 15-30 had no row crop version.

15-30 and w30 sheetmetal will not interchange. gas tanks wont interchange. aircleaners either. 15-30 is a bigger tractor. w30 was the upgrade for the 10-20, although they ran concurrently in production. w30 is sort of by itself for parts, lots on it where only made for the w30. 15-30 was upgraded to the 22-36. bigger bore,larger valve ports,ect... more or less then to the w40. pg

cnks, you seem to have a good knowledge of these things. Do you know the cu inches of the 10-20?

I don't have any knowledge about tractors below the letter series or later than the 460/560. I refer to two books: "International Harvester Tractor Data Book" by Guy Fay, and "International Harvester Tractor 1939-1985" by Ken Updike. These are both data books, containing specs, etc. Guy Fay's is more detailed, but Ken Updike's covers the later tractors.

pg, I guess I screwed that up. I think you said 10-20 is same size as the W 30 not 15-30, excuse me.
