Cockshutt 540

Last Updated: June 2024

Overview

The Cockshutt Model 540 is a classic tractor model notable for its use of the reliable 4-cylinder, gasoline-powered Continental engine. With its significant engine displacement of 162 cubic inches, the Continental engine provides a solid foundation for a variety of agricultural applications. The tractor's transmission is characterized by an unsynchronized gear system, offering a total of 8 gears with 6 in forward and 2 in reverse. This detail indicates a level of simplicity and ruggedness in the machine's design, likely valued by operators in its time of production. One notable feature of this model is its early use of a 6-volt starter system, suggestive of its manufacturing period.
