Cockshutt 30

[M Hoffmann]

I have found a Cockshutt 30 in the woods price is right would it make a good puller, would it be worth while to build up the engine. Thanks Mike

We have a 30 that we have been pulling for about 3 years in stock classes 3.5 MPH. Overbore kit pulling cam,electronic ign, pulling carb, 13.6 rubber. Does very well in 3500-4500# classes. Toughest competition seems to be the Oliver 70's.
We also pull a 35 and a 570 Diesel. Have won lots of trophys. It's all what you like, we like Cockshutts.

Mike you must have found some parts you didn't tell me about.

you can build the engine up some but there's not a lot of room to go real big on the engine. i think it's the same as the 40 engine with two cylinders less (same basic block, same bore & stroke).

The 30 is a tough little tractor and does a good job in 3500 to 4500 stock type classes. Be sure it has the high/low splitter, not all 30's had that. As for building, Cu.In. is very limited and not a lot of HP gain. They are not fast, but will craw to the top of there class. A few of them in my area and they all do very well in the stock type classes. I had one for about three years and I won more with it then any of my other tractors I've had. Parts are not hard to find and they don't break the budget.

Welding man, how light can you get your 35 ?

 

[Welding man]

Mike,We took a lot of stuff off and tried to get it down to 4500 but just couldn't with 15.5 rubber. Mine is a narrow front. So we start it in 5000#.Have not pulled it too much but hope to this year. It has upgraded 226 engine.

Hey M Hoffman, where are you located?

 

[30 puller]

Welding Man what engine is that 226 out of.

A 226 is a Hercules for his Cockshutt 35. How muchmoney do you want to put into the 30?

 

[Welding man]

J. is right the 30 has a 153 Cu in Buda-the 226 is an upgraded version of the GO 198 hercules found in the 35.It was bought new from Hercules a few years back.

 

[Welding man]

J. what did you have in mind for the 30? Mine needs a little more tweaking to get those Olivers.E-mail is open

I was reading your responses to your question abt the cockshutt-30, I been running a 30 for about 10 years now and not to many people know they made a
4b182 motor, the same motor as the 50 less 2 cylinders, bored block can go 30-40 over no problem, the put the 30 head back on with some nice chevy vorteck valves ans springs, and all the other goodies and no problem with the 77,s
