Cockshutt crawlers

[walter hudson]

Were any of the OC series crawlers marketed under the Cockshutt name besides the late OC4 ?

The OC-9 was listed in the catalog. Remember the other models had been dropped before the Cockshutt thing.

Were the older models sold in Canada under any other names , like they they were in England.

Walter; You have me confused a little bit. I have been to England twice. The first time we even visted a crawler collector (had over 50 of them) and the Cletrac's were Cletracs and his oldest one was the green model R. The next time I went to the U K plowing contst and they had one there with a chisel plow. It was also a Cletrac HG. Now in Canada what are you calling an older model? Remember Oliver had distribuots for there equipment. One of those was Goodson. You used to see some Oliver equipment namely 66 & 77 vintage wheel tractors over at Yoder & Frey's auction with Oliver and Goodson on the side panels. Any more questions? John

I have seen pictures from England of early HG's that the serial tag said Blaw Knox ,also model FD's. There is also a English toy that you see for sale on Ebay freguently called a Dinky Blaw Knox. I believe this is a model of a FD.
