[AT] Cockshut, Oliver, Coop etc.

[Ralph Goff]

Its true that most of the Co-op machinery was actually Cockshutt with orange
paint and different decals. My Cockshutt 40  and 50 for example were
marketed by Co-op as the E4 and E5. I've got a few spare hoods here and at
least one has the Co-op decal. Same treatment was applied to the combines in
the 1950s. Cockshutts with orange paint. For a visual comparison check out
one of my favourite harvest lineup photos from the old days.

I'm pretty sure there was another line of Co-op tractors though in the late
40s. Had a Chrysler flathead six as I recall. In fact I'm pretty sure I have
a picture of it here somewhere.
