Introduction
CO-OP E2 Row-Crop Tractor
The CO-OP E2 is a row-crop tractor produced in Brantford, Ontario, Canada, between 1952 and 1953. It served as a mid-century agricultural machine designed for standard field operations with a total production run of 4,000 units.
Engine and Performance
The tractor is powered by a 4-cylinder Continental 140 gasoline engine. This liquid-cooled unit features a displacement of 140 cubic inches (2.3 liters) and operates at a rated speed of 1800 RPM. The compression ratio is 6.75:1. An oil bath air cleaner is integrated to ensure engine longevity in dusty field conditions. The engine delivers approximately 33 horsepower, providing sufficient output for typical row-crop tasks of that era.
Transmission and Drive
The E2 utilizes a gear-type transmission system offering four forward speeds and one reverse gear. This configuration allows the operator to select appropriate ground speeds for various agricultural implements. The machine is configured as a two-wheel drive tractor, standard for the row-crop segment of its time.
Mechanical and Operator Environment
Stopping power is provided by independent mechanical contracting band brakes, allowing for precise steering assistance in the field. The operator works from an open station, which provides clear visibility of the implements. The tractor has an operating weight of 2,820 lbs (1,279 kg), which can be increased to 4,761 lbs (2,159 kg) when fully ballasted. It is equipped with 5.00-15 agricultural front tires and 11-24 agricultural rear tires.
Conclusion
The CO-OP E2 is a representative example of 1950s row-crop engineering, offering a balance of power and mechanical simplicity. Its design, characterized by the Continental engine and a standard gear transmission, makes it a functional tool for light to medium agricultural duties, historically valued for its accessibility and serviceability.
