Does anybody know anything about them? What was the connection with Cockshutt,and what all did they manufacture and where? I think I read somewhere that they made tools and where based in Milaukee. A neighbor was telling me about a 2-row BlackHawk planter he bought new, only used it 2 seasons(he said it was junk). He traded it for a 2-row AC that I bought from him. He still has the manual for it. I'm guessing that BlackHawk was made in Waterloo,Iowa (Waterloo is in BlackHawk county). Thanks in advance.

The info about cockshutt and blackhalk . is found in the book" Cockshutt the complete story" Cockshutt purchased blackhalk company in 1952 and continued to make planters and pickers till 1957 when they closed the factory. It was located in Bellevue , Ohio.

When were the first Black Hawk tractors made? Also was a 35 Blackhawk the only size made? or was there a larger/smaller one? Thanks,

Justin

In 1956, Cockshutt came out with their "Deluxe" paint scheme (cream sheet metal, red grille) on model's 20, 35, 40, and 50 (the 30 was exempt from this). They called all of these Blackhawks, to let everyone know they bought Blackhawk. They only used the Blackhawk name in the first part of 1956. Later '56 and '57 models were simply known as (20,35,40,50) Deluxe, except the 40D4, which was called the Golden Eagle (in the US). I have a late '56 Golden Eagle. In 1958, Cockshutt replaced the round nose tractors with the Loewy (from Studebaker!) styled models...
