Oliver diguised as a Cockshutt

johnnyo · Oct 15, 2014

I bought a Cockshutt 1550 tractor. It has been painted because it's kind of a darker red than I think most Cockshutts were. It was advertised as a Cockshutt 1550, & those are the labels on the hood of the tractor. I was looking at it closely the other day & I see spots of green on the engine, by the distributor & a couple of other places.. Could this have been an Oliver painted over??? Serial number is 173-314-502... And I got to wondering is this indeed a 1550?? Or did somebody just put these decals on? It has a Cancade loader on it, & the loader has been painted the same color as the tractor.. But the lettering CANCADE are visible faintly through the paint..

Probably belonged to Randy. OOPS. He paints the
red ones green......

Look at the serial number tag. Does it Say Branfort on it?

I will check that tomorrow because it's at my friend's shop for a clutch..

Yes, pretty much identical, But to me mine is a bit darker red, more of a maroon, but when I first bought it the pictures looked brighter.

Hey now,you've gotta admit,this was an improvement. lol
The only 1365 Oliver around with a Brantford tag.

I have a 1855 that is Oliver green under the red paint.
Was sold brand new not 150 miles from me.
There is a green cab with a Cockshutt sticker on it for sale on Kijiji, looks original paint
