A 1941 CO-OP Model B-2 Junior tractor has become a treasure to the Fred family.
My grandfather Lavon Fred bought our 1941 CO-OP Model B-2 Junior tractor back in 1983 from a salvage yard near Delphi, Indiana. He restored it a year later. I remember the B-2 Junior always being around the farm in Grandpa’s antique tractor collection. It was one of his favorites and was a reliable, smooth-running tractor.

Cook’s 1969 Allis-Chalmers Mfg. Co. Model Two-Twenty is a fine example of this rather rare model, but its low serial no. of 1026 makes it even more special. Between 1969 and 1972, beginning with serial no. 1004, the A-C factory in West Allis, Wisconsin, produced 1,765 two-wheel-drive units like Cook’s, plus 100 with front-wheel assist beginning in June 1970.
