Cockshutt combine ?

[55 50 Ron]

Was there a model 150 Cockshutt self propelled combine in the mid 1950s?

Thanks

Never heard of a 150. There was a 428 back then in the fifty’s maybe early sixties

Google says there was. It says they came out in 69, after the White buyout. Says they shared components with Oliver and White combines, but doesn't say which ones. Claims they had a 150 horse Chrysler engine and a 170 bushel grain tank. If that's true, I'd think that would make them about the same as an Oliver 535 or 545. Can't say for sure. Consider the source, it could be AI.

It's simply weird how that works. Just got done doing a search & came up empty handed on the 150. Did find there was a SP110, SP112 & SP115.

Even checked my pics, as I thought I had some. Nope. It's a beauty of a 428.

The MAM collection contains a Cockshutt 428 self-propelled combine. The 428 was in production between 1956 and 1962. The standard 428 come with a 12 foot header however 10 or 15 food headers were offered as options. Other standard equipment included a Chrysler flat head 6 cylinder industrial engine offering 76 horsepower and a Cockshutt Drive-O-Matic traction drive which was a four speed transmission coupled to a variable sheave drive. The variable sheave drive was hydraulically controlled off a foot pedal on the operator’s platform. This combination offered ground speeds varying from 5/8 to 9 MPH. The table was hydraulically raised and lowered.

The cylinder had 8 rasp bars and was 311/4 inches long and 21 7/8 inches in diameter. The speed of the cylinder could be varied from 727 rpm to 1178 rpm. The separation area was 32 inches wide and 117 inches long.

The above information was found at the Manitoba Agricultural Museum. and as my memory is digging in, I am remembering that the 428 was the model I was trying to remember. The web site has a picture of a 428 which proves to me that the 428 is what I was after. Thanks to all responders. Ron.

If I was closer maybe, but I don't drink. Our "friend" You Tube has a nice video of a 428 harvesting in Bruce County, Ontario

I do remember them 428’s around here. I still have the Minnie 4292 which is the Cockshutt 542. I did a lot of combining with it in the 80’s and early 90’s till I got a Massey 750.

Neither the 535 or 545 were even close to that big. The 8900 had 145 horse and a 170 bushel tank. The only Cockshutt combines in 69 were the 525-45 and 5542.

Glad you figured it out. The 428 is a sharp looking machine.

Edit: That's weird. Could have sworn I hit "Save" when I was done typing last night. Better late than never??
