Tim: Actually you raise a good point. I guess the only 46 through 61 Cockshutts that really had any similarity to Olivers were the 40, 50 and 570. One tends to get a bit carried away on the long relationship between Cockshutt and Oliver.

On the subject of Massey Harris and Cockshutt, these two companies were putting the gears to IH and Deere prior to WW#2. Had they not seen the extended interuption of war production the farm landscape would look much different today. In the late 1940s they both had tractors far superior to Deere and IH. Problem was their dealer network had suffered so badly during the war, Deere and IH overtook them. Just looking at some statistics the other night. Cockshutt 40 was the first tractor tested at Nebraska with IPTO. These guys get on here raving about their Farmall M and SM. Little do they know a Cockshutt 40 will eat a Farmall M or SM, on a drawbar pull. Same between Cockshutt 30 and the farmall H. And full live power take off, almost a full decade before the rest, not some make shift M&W hand clutch. And oh, those smooth running 6 cylinder engines.
