When Agco was merging Minneapolis Moline, Cockshutt, and Oliver together under the White umbrella in the early 1970's, it looks like you could get the same tractor from each of the three companies with just a different color scheme. I looked on the net to find an A4T articulated four wheel drive in the Cockshutt brand and couldn't fine one. I found one in the Oliver and Minneapolis Moline brand, though. Can anyone enlighten me?

According to Tractor Data, the 2150 was the largest tractor to bear the Cockshutt badge

The Cocshutt brand was the first to disappear and be replaced by White. White branded tractors in Cockshutt red paint were sold in Canada.

Don't think the Plainsman wore Cockshutt lettering. There were some MM's painted red for sales north of the black line.

Edit: Here's a link to more info on the matter.

The A4T tractors were built from 1969 through 1972 with a total of 1,676 being produced in that time

That information left me a bit confused. Is he saying that only 1 2455 was ever produced? There seems to be

contradicting evidence. Even the production numbers for the 2655 seem to different at other sources.
Hopkins was a mess in those years and I can’t speak for Charles City or Chicago.

I did however look at this one in Glencoe recently and it can be found on Tractorhouse.

You know, I can't say I'm any authority on those tractors.... but I did hear something about it on Big Tractor Power once.

Didn't really read much of the page that was linked. Was half asleep already when I put that up. After a bit of digging, the tractor I was thinking of is the A4T-1600 in red with MM lettering. Which isn't a Cockshutt product.
