September’s featured photo was submitted by Oscar Ginz of Guiliford, Connecticut.
“This is our 1948 CO-OP E3 that is within a few serial numbers, and identical to the one, that mechanized maternal grandfathers family farm in May of 1948. It took 7 years to find one that fit the bill and almost 2 years to restore it. The tractor underwent a complete nut and bolt restoration from 2017 to 2019, in honor of the late Gerald M. Sales of Clarissa / St Cloud, Minnesota, bringing in a new era of farming. One of the finest examples of an early E3.”

Very well done. One does not see many of these restored, so happy for you that you found a suitable rebuildable tractor. Enjoy!
I also have a 1948 how do I find the early coop paint
Nicely done tractor
NICE TRACTOR HOPE TP SEE AT THE SHOWS FROM MY HOME STATE VERY COOL
Co-op tractors were very rare in our area. We had John Deere, IH, Allis-Chalmers, Massey Harris, Ford, and Ferguson dealers within 10 miles of home and Oliver and Minneapolis-Moline dealers within 26 miles.
Did Co-op make a cultivator for their tractors? I see where the cultivator would attach to the tractor frame somewhat like an Oliver.
Your tractor looks very nicely restored.
