On a Cockshutt 540, there is a raised tin strip on each side of the hood to which the decal reading "Cockshutt 540" is attatched. Is this tin strip the same color as the tractor tin (cream colored) or is it pure white? Some of the B&W photo's I've seen seem to show it a lighter color than the tinwork elsewhere on the tractor.

Hi Alberta Mike,

The COCKSHUTT hood spears on your 540 and all 500 series tractor should be painted pure white.

When ordering your decal set from Ohio Keith McClure, specify whether you have an all harvest gold tractor 1958/58 which requires brown 540 background decal, or red belly tractor 1961/62 which requires black 540 background decal.

When Oliver took over Cockshutt in 1962 and discontinued the Cockshutt built tractor line, the hood spear is about all they used from the Cockshutt tractor. These spears were used on the Oliver built tractor for both Oliver and Cockshutt right up the the WHITE tractor name in 1975.
