Hi I am currently restoring my 1938 Cockshutt Hart-Parr 80 which as you know is a rebadged Oliver 80.

Now I already know prior to 1940 the were the same colour of Green as the Oliver 80 but what colour should the wheel rims be Orange or Red?.

I have has a few replies to a previous post stating the wheels should be orange but I am having trouble convincing my father as he is adamant they should be red in colour as we have a book compiled but the International Cockshutt Club which states the they where shipped as green and Red until mid 1939. Despite having received a reply from a member of that club saying they were Orange Can anyone provide me with some more information.

Here is links to photos of the tractor

Can someone supply pics of an early Cockshutt Hart-Parr 80 showing the decals with won"t have the maple leaf I believe. I also require photos of the light switch position and how the battery should be secured pics of the bracket/fixing etc. Any other pictures of another 1938 Cockshutt Hart-Parr 80 would be most welcome.
