James Cockshutt started the Brantford Plow company in 1877. The venture was successful and in 1882 the organization was incorporated as the Cockshutt Plow company. By the 1920s it was a leader in ground tillage equipment and needed to get into the tractor business. A venture with Allis Chalmers was unsatisfactory and they turned to Oliver-Hart Parr, selling their 6 cylinder 18-44 model but moving to this streamline styled model 70 in 1937 when it became available. They were sold either in Oliver green or Cockshutt red and cream and were quite popular sellers.
