Flew back home from a west coast wedding and was reminded that this is displayed in the baggage claim area of Harrisburg International Airport.

To my knowledge, I do not remember the IKE COCKSHUTT BLACKHAWK 40 having the optional hour meter installed on this tractor.

YES, The tractor is the original tractor currently on display at the HARRISBURG, PA INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT. The tractor front end was changed at some point after the presentation from the adjustable wide front end to a narrow front end so a mounted corn picker could be installed.The tractor was WELL USED and the engine was changed & rebuilt due to engine water freeze damage. The tractor as shown was found and restores to its current accurate condition by the late Floyd Miller, York, PA between 1990 and 1992.

The tractor was prepped and delivered by the Farm Machinery Dept.of the Lebanon Valley Farm Bureau Cooperative Association, Lebanon, PA........My Dad managed the store during that period (year 1955). I still vividly remember the event......I was 8 years old.

The COCKSHUTT BLACKHAWK 40 was chosen for this event by the three Farmer Cooperatives (PA, OH, & IN) BECAUSE they were all members (along with 11 other regional farm supply cooperatives) of the NATIONAL FARM MACHINERY COOPERATIVE, a DISTRIBUTOR of Co-op and later COCKSHUTT (Canadian Built) tractors and farm machinery.................!!!

The tractor may have been manufactured in Canada, but the
engine (Buda) and transmission/rear end (Timken) were made in
the USA.
 

The CANADIAN Government had nothing to do with the IKE COCKSHUTT BLACK HAWK 40 tractor presentation!

The entire deal was conceived and fully funded by: INDIANA FARM BUREAU COOPERATIVE ASSOCIATION, OHIO FARM BUREAU COOPERATIVE ASSOCIATION, PENNSYLVANIA FARM BUREAU COOPERATIVE ASSOCIATION, and COCKSHUTT FARM EQUIPMENT, INC., BELLEVUE, OHIO.
