Several tractors I recall having names on this farm were when we had 4 
Cockshutts in service or close to it. There was the old original 40 
{"Rattler" that had a characteristic and never ending rattle from the 
timing gears. Another was old "Hummer" named after the previous owner. 
The third 40 which according to what we were told had at one time in a 
previous life worked at a coal mine, we simply called "the coal miner". 
The Cockshutt 50 was simply "the 50" since it was the only one.
Nowadays the 50 mostly rests in the shed. The "Rattler" sees frequent 
use but it no longer rattles having had an engine transplant from the 
Coal Miner. Hummer has been disassembled and become a parts donor.
The story behind the names. Any others out there?
