Achto 27,570 #8 Posted October 22, 2017 4 hours ago, ACman said: Great pictures!!! I sure like that Cockshutt, a model "50" if I'm correct. A simple tear down & resto she could look/run like brand new again. I would love to have it in my collection. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ACman 7,618 #9 Posted October 22, 2017 (edited) Buddha Diesel engine...welded rear widen rims. It would really look nice all restored but it would be a expensive endeavor . Here’s a couple pictures of the farm from 1973 . This is a really cool site . Edited October 22, 2017 by ACman 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mike in NC 341 #10 Posted May 28, 2021 Yeah, but there are not that many Cockshutt's around. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Handy Don 12,217 #11 Posted May 28, 2021 The farmers in my family were good at keeping old stuff running, but when something finally couldn't give useful service it got no more attention! (Should clarify that this applied to machines, not people!) 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ACman 7,618 #12 Posted May 28, 2021 (edited) Our family’s Allis Chalmers dealership was a Oliver dealership before that and was a Farm bureau /Co-Op for decades . Still have some nos cockshutt parts in the store. There’s a handful of Cockshutt and Co-Op around these these parts. Our Cockshutt definitely needs to be restored especially being a rare diesel .
