Cockshutt – other models: Canadian tractors with bought-in engines from Waukesha-Oliver to Hart-Parr and trade names such as Golden Eagle, 18 to 123 kW
This collective page gathers Cockshutt tractors outside the named series. Cockshutt Farm Equipment grew out of the Cockshutt Plow Company, founded in 1877 in Brantford, Ontario, and in 1946 introduced the Model 30, which the company presented as the world's first tractor with an independent power take-off (live PTO). Some models in the register carry different trade names, such as Gambles Farmcrest 30, Golden Eagle and Black Hawk – Cockshutt tractors were sold in North America under several brand names by different distribution partners.

The register lists 31 versions from 18 to 123 kW and 12 to 165 hp with four- and six-cylinder engines. Engine suppliers included Waukesha-Oliver, Fiat, Continental, Buda, Hart-Parr and Minneapolis-Moline; fuel choices spanned petrol, diesel and, in part, LPG side by side.
Alongside Massey-Harris, Cockshutt ranked among the significant Canadian tractor makers and supplied mainly the North American market. In 1962 the company merged with Oliver and Minneapolis-Moline into the White Motor group, subsequently continued under the White Farm Equipment brand.
On these post-war tractors with frequently bought-in engines, identifying the actually fitted unit matters first, since the engine supplier and trade name could vary by market. Carburettor or injection pump, clutch and power take-off are the classic checks, and spares are supplied by specialists in Canadian and American post-war tractors.
