My 1956 Cockshutt 40 Deluxe is finally 100 % done....It was basically done a year ago but I decided to repaint the hood before the decals were installed..I didn't get the repaint done until recently....I had a lady that does graphics install the decals today because I'm no good at it..It has a nice running $500 Buda 262 in it from a Gleaner F combine..The wheatland fenders were poor so it now has some fenders from a 30..

Pic 1-Sitting in the junk yard where I bought it in 2013..The 230 Buda was full of water and had 2 spun rod bearings so was junk..

Pic 2-In the yard this afternoon...This is not a professional paint job but it looks decent from 20 ft...O'Reilly's mixed the cream paint and the red is New Holland red..

I personally that think the Deluxe series Cockshutts are a very nice looking tractor..There are practically none in my area..

I like it! Dad has a buddy that was huge into Cockshutts for a long time. He has slowly gotten out of it, but he had lots of hard to find ones he hauled over from Canada 20-30 years ago. He had golden arrows, blackhawk, deluxe. I believe the one he just sold was a 35L Blackhawk, but I don't know what all the nomenclature of them means. They are a very nice looking tractor and seem to have a lot of good features for the time.

Truly a great looking tractor. Glad that you saved it from the junk yard. I really liked the 50's Cockshutt tractors with the round tin. Nice tractors to drive , good gear selections , with lots of power. Thank you for sharing your pictures
 
Thanks everyone....It will be at the Adrian,MO show on June 25th and at the Ft Scott,KS show in late August..I
will also tractor pull with it several times....That 262 Buda sure sounds sweet..
 
I know where another 262 can be bought for $600..Its already off the combine...I also have a friend that has one..
