cockshutt, being Canadian and all, did have it's fans around here. While they were never on par with Deere or IH they are not that hard to find when driving around. Being that I'm on the western prairies in wheat country, most of the cockshutt's you find of this generation are the "big" 18/1900 wheatland tractors. Don't think I've ever seen a row crop version. Probably have to head to Ontario for those.
Most guys who were serious about running cockshutt were usually big supporters of CCIL (Co-op Imp) as well. There was a local Co-op Implement dealer right up to the mid 80's so to see a few CCIL, cockshutt, Co-op Imp decaled Deutz's, etc... is pretty common. One neighbor used nothing but Co-op and cockshutt (except for a Gleaner combine) up until the early 2000's. Still has 3 cockshutt's on the farm, the newest of the three is a red 50 series (1950 I think) with a front mounted Richardson snow blower that still serves winter duty keeping the road clear.

Just joined this board this weekend and was browsing older posts. Was glad I checked this one since it showed the entire brochure rather than just the cover in TTT. That picture is still saved in my picture on my computer at work.
Thanks
Bill
