Member: Harvey Dose

Tractor: 1958 Cockshutt 550

When Acquired: 1999

Summary: In 1999, Harvey Dose accompanied Noel Brumm to Lanesville in southern Indiana to pick up a Cockshutt Noel was buying. While they were picking up Noel?s tractor, they saw another one, a 1958 Cockshutt 550, painted black. The owner felt it had a major problem since the engine didn?t turn when the starter spun. He was getting married soon and needed extra cash so he agreed to sell Harvey the tractor at a relatively low price. Once home, Harvey and Noel fixed the ?major? problem with a punch and hammer. The ring gear had slipped on the flywheel and simply needed to be tapped back into place. The only other work Harvey had to do was mount the prominent bull horns on the grill.

Harvey recently passed away and we will miss seeing him on his black Cockshutt, as shown here at our 1999 show.
