Black Knight, were did this come from?

Recently I have been researching through a few old sales lit. for info and pics of these tractors in preperation for the up coming BK repair and restoration. It has finally occured to me that no where in the info I have does anyone make reference to a BK. Only the description Demonstrator or Goldlen Opportunity Demo's are mentioned. Does anyone know the orrigin of the name Black Knight? Rod.

Rod some where I have or read a bit on it have to do some thinkin on it here are a few pics of them, now this is my thought on the name, Agri King = Black Knight would have not sounded right to have been called a Black King?? just a thought cnt

Nutty thats a good thought, the name Black King does not sound very apealling. Rod.

Jim I'm 'fraid were stuck with Barry for another 4 unless someone can definitively uncover his school records that state he was enrolled as a foreign student and then there is the issue of fraud, renoucing his US citizen ship, what passports he held, etc. Wouldn't that be a revelation!

the Golden Demo was first then it worked so well for sales and getting people to try one they expanded the program with the Black Knight and I will say the program worked very well for us cnt

I agree also, but I might add that from the time I first voted for president(1956) to date I have not seen the change in presidents(dem or rep)
have much to do with the well being of farmers. About all I have seen is a different picture of them in the farm offices.

There is a Black Knight tractor just north of Sterling CO. I don't know if it is a 970 or 1070. When I have time I'll try to get a picture and find out he owner.
