New tractor

[NDIHC]

Do you know what the red one is to the right in front of the shed? It seems to say Nockel on the grill, but obviously not sure. Is it Russian or something like that?

I'd about bet it is Rockol. Made in Indiana and sold in Canada through Rock Oil co. According to goooooogle anyway. I had never heard of them myself until you pointed the tractor out.

ROCKOL I was in and out of his shop when he restored it. It fit into the lesser known category. A lot of parts were the same as the CUSTOM and several other makes at the time. Cork found a book on it someplace. I was not able to go to his auction when he sold over 100 running tractors. I was always there for other reasons and only heard him telling someone else some details. The attempts to start manufacturing tractors in that time period they used a Doge rearend for that size tractor.
Cork worked for John Deere starting in high school until retiring from then in his late 60's. He had a photograph memory and could spout off part numbers of antique John Deere tractors. I went with him a few times to junk yards when we were in our late teens and set listening to talk with other John Deere lovers. We were born in the same year about six months apart.
