I'm new to the Cockshutt tractor world. An acquaintence of mine has a Cockshutt Blackhawk Special tractor that I'm interested in. Can anyone tell me what a Cockshutt Blackhawk Special tractor is compared to a Cockshutt 30, or 40 or ?? This tractor has the 4 cyl Perkins Diesel engine in it which is stuck. Is it difficult to get parts for the 4 cyl Perkins diesel engines? What years were the Cockshutt Blackhawk Specials made? What is the significance of the Blackhawk over the regular Cockshutt tractors?

Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated.

The Blackhawks with the 4 cyclinder Perkins were decaled as Golden Eagles and you might check for signs of vibrations on the tractors with Perkins engines,they were known to shake the whole tractor while running.

In June I stopped at the Red Power roundup in Mansfield Ohio on the way home from a business trip. What has that to do with this, well there was a made in Great Brittan 450 Farmall there. Those had the L-4 Perkins engine as the standard engine and the guy had it running while I was there, smooth as any four cylinder and better than most. If you go through one and take good measurements, and rebuild to those measurements, ballance the rotating parts, get your fuel system in good condition they will run good.

The tractor was a good sound tractor and good on fuel. That tractor was the first to introduce the Perkins engine to North America. Remember that Perkins is now owned by CAT. The engine model is the L-4 which was very popular in Europe, but that was 50 years ago. There were less than 5000 of those engine imported to the USA. More questions?

The Tractor you describe replace the Buda after Buda engines were sold to A-C. It is very good on fuel. The engine is the Perkins L-4 engine. This engine was very popular in Europe being used in British Internations, a repower kit for Fordson's etc. Just remember lessthan 5000 of them were imported into the USA and also the engine is 50 years old and Perkins is not in the Cat engine group. Anything else for the minute?

you might lisen to the real experts but I know of NO Cockshutt Blackhawk special

Blackhawks were Cockshutts sold in the USA...

now it haveing a 4cyl Perkins should indicate it is a 40D4 -- yes a special tractor but I never ever heard of it beeing called a special.
