My calendar's current month's tractor picture is a 1936 Farmers Union Co-op #1. Anyone know who made that?

I don't believe Farmers Union had a tractor factory. They did sell Cockshutts re-branded so maybe this is an early Cockshutt? It has a single front wheel with what looks like a very heavy yoke.

I think they were assembled in St Paul Minnesota, the part came from where ever. The Cockshutte were made by Bill Cockshutte from Canada.

I don't think Cockshutt was involved with Coop in any way at that time. Some of the Coops of that era were made in Indiana and others were made in a different state that I forget name of but in eatern USA. And when Cockshutt started having tractors they were rebadged Olivers up untill 1946 when they started building their own tractors.
