The late Bob Pettigrew of West
Kilbride, Ayrshire,
Scotland, was the proud owner of this fully restored Cockshutt Model
1900
tractor. Produced in 1963 at Charles City, Iowa, it was imported
from British Columbia in 1995 and restored in 1999.
Here it is shown previous to participation in the Braid Valley
Vintage
Tractor Road Run through Northern Ireland. The Canadian flag is flown
in
honour of guest Pete Strong, who participated in the event.
Bob had imported several Cockshutt tractors from Canada -
including
a 540 Gas, 560D, 570D and a 30 Gas - previous to his death in 2003.
Current owner of the Model 1900
is Brian
Millar of Northern Ireland who, with Samuel Millar, is also a member of
the Braid Valley club. The Millars have 18 vintage tractors in
their
collection which includes all makes and models - John Deere,
International,
Case, Fordson, Ferguson, Newman, Lanz Bulldog, Allis Chalmers, David
Brown,
and others.
