THE COCKSHUTT SHED - Tractor Album

Pictured is a Co-op E4 (Cockshutt 40) tractor which was purchased new by Tim’s Grandfather, Emil Lundeen, in 1951. The Lundeen family farmed with this tractor well into the 1990’s on the family farm located near Oklee, Minnesota. The E-4 was a steady work horse into the mid-80's. Even after the large diesels were used for the heavy work, it did much of the light duty work around the farm.

The tractor was purchased and restored by Martin Schulz and his son, Dennis Schulz, of Euclid, MN in 1996.

This plow is a vintage Oliver rubber tire 3-14 Plowmaster. It still has the original moldboards with the part numbers clearly visible and it has one original tire.

When I was 14 years old, in addition to farming the acreage for 40 dairy cows plus calves, I plowed up 150 acres of soilbank with the E-4 and the Plowmaster.

You will notice that there is no power steering and no hydraulic lift on this tractor or plow. You pulled the rope to drop the plow in the ground and pulled on it again to raise it. Every time you hit a rock, the whole works came unhooked. There were a lot of rocks!

Tim’s granddaughter helps drive in a parade. She is the 5th generation of Lundeens to "work" on this tractor.
