THE COCKSHUTT SHED - Model 60 Standard Tractor

COCKSHUTT 60
STANDARD

Serial No. 412251

The COCKSHUTT 60 Standard was manufactured in the years 1942-48by the OLIVER CORPORATION. With the exception of the rear axial trumpets, it was identical to the tractor which was painted green and sold as the OLIVER 60.

Wayne's grandfather, George Jackson, purchased this tractor in 1948 from McGAVIN FARM MACHINERY of Walton, Ontario. It was the only tractor that he ever owned. Equipped with a 16.9 HP engine, it provided power for a 2 furrow Cockshutt plow and other farm equipment. For many years after Mr. Jackson's death it sat out in an orchard until Wayne acquired it in December of 1990. As a result, bringing it back to life was a challenge. With a little searching, most parts were easily found except for the light switch.

Restored during 1992, the finished product was on display at the Ridgetown Fair in August of that year. The 60 was used around the farm as a second tractor until 1998 when a crack was discovered in the rear axial trumpet. The resulting repair job led to a complete tear down and new paint job.

Completed in June, 1999, the 60 was ready for display at the Ridgetown Buffalo Days Parade and Antique Car and Tractor Show in early July and the International Cockshutt Show in Athens, Ontario the following week.
