About Cook Tractor

Solid Foundation

Building on Heritage
      Bob Cook and his father Stephen joined in partnership to establish Henry County Farm and Tire Supply serving as a Massey-Ferguson dealer.  By the early 1960’s Bob began holding an annual auction to liquidate his used equipment trade ins.  During the 1970’s his three oldest sons Ron, John, and Jim entered into the business as partners.  In 1973 the contract with Massey-Ferguson was not renewed.  This allowed them to deal primarily in used equipment, new parts, used parts, and rebuilt parts.  The 1980’s saw the addition of three other partners, their sister Linda Christy, and brothers Greg and Stanley.      In 1988 they changed their name to Cook Tractor Co., Inc. and moved to their present location on Highway 7 in Clinton, Missouri.  The new location enabled them to hold a monthly consignment auction and gave them space for expanding their inventory of  tractor and combine parts. In 1990 Bob located property in Germantown Illinois that would be ideal for a franchise store.  With a need in the area for a new and used parts dealer, Greg moved his family to Illinois.   The Germantown store opened in the fall of 1991 and by 1995 another brother Carl joined him.
