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.

 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 .

Yeah, but there are not that many Cockshutt's around.

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!)

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 .
