I bought a 550 last year that is rather good shape and has the 3 pt hydricks, but none of the pull, lift, and sway bars. Know they can be purchased as rebuild but would have half the cost of the tractor invested.
I could use the full set if anyone has the set. I have the top arm.
I also have a 540 that could be used for misqueto prevention if anyone has a good engine. It will cost be about 1K to rebuild this one. That is what my 20 cost and that was six years ago.
I am from Vincennes where Dad was the co-op manager. At one time we had five cockshutt tractors.
I brought the 20 home several years ago and Noel advised me on restoring it. I normally have it at the club show and the county fair. So, I had the bug before I knew Noel. Dad bought the 20 new and we used it all the time on the farm for small jobs.
I have also spent some time working with Jim Murphy, who I think you know. He has the bug
