A beautiful unseasonably warm day in Sask. so it was nice to stand 
around looking at a few old Cockshutt tractors owned by a neighbor of 
mine. This 40 still works for its living moving round bales with the 
front end loader.

This 1850 was bought new in the mid sixties and now has over 12,000 
hours on it. The Perkins diesel has never been opened up for repairs in 
all those years. Tractors were packed so tight in that shed that I could 
not get a real good photo of them.

The real item of interest was the original one-owner Cockshutt 30. A 
decent repaint job on this one and its spent most of its time indoors. 
The little Buda started right up and ran smoother than I would have 
expected of a nearly 50 year old tractor.
