Could anyone tell me about history, parts availability, etc, for Blackhawk implements? When I was a kid we put in all our corn and beans with a 2 row Blackhawk planter. I believe that parts were available from the Farm Bureau Co-op here in Indiana as late as the mid-60's, as I rebuilt the fertilizer boxes, castings, and drive with new parts that my father had bought there. The planter didn't seem to be very old then, as it still had a good coat of bright red paint on it, but it did have the old-style trip mechanisms on both sides for the wires used to "check" the corn rows. I have seen the Blackhawk name used with Cockshutt treactors, and wondered if this was their line of implements? A few weeks ago I bought a Blackhawk grain drill
(13 hole) on rubber at an auction. Pretty good shape, but it could use some new parts for the fertilizer drop tubes, etc. I have seen only one other Blackhawk 2 row planter, but this one was probably a slightly older model, as it had a much wider frame to accomodate the wider row spacings used years ago. I would like to find another of these planters to use with the 8N Ford I recently bought for my 4 year old son. Any help or information would be appreciated.

I have a Blackhawk Corn Planter, Year 1912, Model J147. In excellent condition. My Grandfather bought it in 1912 at an island in the ohio river around St. Marys, W.Va. it has been in our family since then. He used it for many years, his daughter got married to a west virginia boy in 1940,they lived on the farm on the Ohio river and,used the planter until 1960, when they moved 1 mile west to another farm,Grandpa died in 1960 at the age of 82. The planter was used until 1962, with the use of a 3 point hitch on a 1952, 8N Ford Tractor. After that Dad moved off the farm to a 3/4 acre house and lot, where he completely refurbished the planter to its original condition, as it is today. My Father passed away Jan.16,2004. He never found what the planter was worth, or, if anyone would be interested in it. We are trying to find a good home for it, and, would appreicate any info. about who would be interested in it.. Please send info. to dandj1988.2@netzero.net or David Cottrill 308 Maple Wood DR. Locust Grove, Georgia 30248

Don't know a lot about Cockshutt other than it was absorbed by White Motor Corp. in 1963 (I think). I do know that "Blackhawk" was the name given to a lot of Cockshutt seeding equipment. Possibly Blackhawk was a seeding equipment manufacturer that was merged into Cockshutt at some time and Cockshutt continued to use the name. Another example would be the Oliver Superior drill. American Seeding who built the Superior drill was merged into Oliver and Oliver continued to sell the drill as an Oliver Superior. Cockshutt was a Canadian company that marketed a lot if its equipment in the U.S. throught the Farm Bureau Co-op system under the name Co-op. About the only difference was the model numbers and paint color. Any new parts would have to come from an Agco-White dealer. Highly unlikely that they would have anything but may be worth a try. Good Luck.
