The company grows to over 6000 employees, most of whom which are women as the men are at war. Still during the war years Cockshutt was able to design its own tractor. This tractor was the Cockshutt 30 tractor. However, because the raw materials needed for industrial production were restricted only for use in the war effort, production was postponed.
