Co-op no 3....tractor

Can any of you tell me what yrs this tractor was built- and where I might find one in decent shape to restore? Thanks.

Built 1946-1957

ok thanks....

I think you got the wrong info. The Coop No 3 was built in late 30's to I believe 45 and that was then the Coop E3 that is the same as the Cockshut 30 was started to be built in Canada. The Coop No. 1, No.2 and No. 3 were mostly built in Indiana. And the No. 3 is a standard tread wide front low tractor while the No. 1 & 2 were row crops with a single front wheel. Now the E3 as he gave you the information for his years are correct and it was built in a standard tread but same height as the row crop E3 that was avaible with a trycicle front end with dual front wheels, single front wheel or wide adjustable front end. If you are looking for an E3 or smaller E2 or larger E4 or E5 come to Ohio Or Indiana, possibly Michigan as that is where most were sold new. Just a short way down to Ohio from Brantford Ontario where they were built. No 3 is USA built and E3 is Canadian built. Lots of E2, E3, E4 & E5 or Cockshutt versions around my but very few No. 1, No. 2 & No. 3. The No.3 is a 6 cylinder tractor while the No. 1 & 2 are 4 cylinder same as the E3 or 30. The E series does not use the word Number in the model like the older ones do. So you are asking about a No. 3 and he was giving you information on E3, completely different tractors.

Leroy...thanks for this info- you know a lot about these! I do believe Im looking for a no 3; did you see the pic I posted of my grandads first tractor? I posted it about a month ago and some of the guys here identified it as a No. 3 Co-op; can you look at it for me please?

Grandpas first- or one of his first tractors. - in 1951...he was binding feed I believe.

That is a No. 3. Some were made in Indiana but I don't think all were. On them you sat inside the frame way down low.

google co-op and you will learn a lot. there were some built right before the cockshutt bilt that had letter for model

We have a gentleman in his 80's that pulls a CO-OP no 3.

tractordata.com has some info on them.

ok thanks!

very nice! Where can I find one?

I have one I would be willing to sell, Number 3, not an E-3. E-mail is open

I have a couple for sale in ND

I have friends that have them and some are in the group that founded the national coop club here in Ohio back about the mid 1990's. In 1996 our club hosted the first national Coop-Cockshutt show. The next year it was in Canada at Essex or just a few miles from they were made in Ontario and I was there. We had more of the Coop-Chockshurr tractors at the show here at Wapakoneta than they did where they were made.
