Found This Grille

[Rande]

A bit out of the ordinary, but I think its cool. What do you guys think?

I like it. What kind of tractor is that?

 

[Rande]

Looks like a Cockshutt.

Should be plenty of those around....

I like it too!!

Nice shape to it. Tractor grilles got nuts for a while pricewise, the rat rodders were after them more than the tractor restorers. I think that has leveled off some lately though.

Nice find.

The way the hood rolls over to the grille is a good transition

Would look awesome on a track-t or narrow bodied speedster.

Looks like an old Oliver tractor. Any names on it?

Would look awesome on a track-t or narrow bodied speedster.

That's exactly what I thought.



It's definitely a Cockshutt. I believe it held the row cropping speed record.

Hey Rande

Would love to get all the stuff that used to be behind that grill shell (like the tractor). I could get to plowin my dirt in my yard...maybe grow more corn too...I would be more self sufficient than I am now...old tractors as just as cool as rat rods....

We had a Cockshutt-grilled roadster at my show a couple years ago... they are very nice.

Cockshutt grille made the cover of the latest Street Roddeer issue.

It does look good. Looks like I have some junkyard work to do.
