"...is what I would normally say, except I did the smart thing, and I bought this tractor as-is...". Definitely made me laugh. We here in our comfy chairs appreciate your willingness to take on the challenge for our viewing pleasure, Wes. Truly, we do.
I've got a W9 McCormick Deering tractor in much the same condition. It was my grandfather's and I recently was able to get it from the last owner. He just gave it to me because it had sat outside and is stuck solid. It's another case of "it doesn't make financial sense, but it should be fun...". But, it was grandpa's, and I have happy memories of it and him.
That was so interesting to watch that come apart Wes. Your money your time. It what it is. Gonna look fwd to how it turns out. Merry Christmas to you and yours🎄🇺🇸. Like your sense of humor.
I appreciate you grouping me in with mustie1 rather than the Pakistani truck channel(but only because I don’t wear sandals) 😂👍🏼👍🏼 great video as always bud, try rubbing some dirt on it, engines seem to like it when I do that 🤷🏼♂️
Hade a 770 on the farm. Industrial wide front end three point and an Oliver loader. No power steering! What a beast. Grandpa had this John Deere loader on his Series 60 Thanks for posting
Hey Wes, thanks for all the videos over 2020, you helped a lot of us get through a bugger of a year. Enjoy your approach to trouble shooting so many issues, found it very informative. Some folks might complain about you "talking", well silent movies got much better when the characters talked (just saying). It also gives us an insight into what you may be thinking. So, yeah keep talking, beside that you have an excuse your talking to us and not all alone in your shop...lol I would like to wish you a Merry Christmas from my house to yours and a Happy New Year into 2021 (Hopefully a better year for everyone). Cheers and keep up the good work! P.S. Bleeding slows down when you get older, cause your hitting the can to pee more often (I joke)..
@@WatchWesWork come on. You're just a puppy from the lofty age of 66. Just wait till your knees alert you every time a thunderstorm is about 10 to 20 miles off.
"Donuts in the parking lot" woohoo. Man I sure would get the loader off that thing over the scrap pile. Great video Wes should be an interesting project.
Thanks for saving the old thing. I have a 66 that cost me 3000 to get it going but it was a family tractor so who is counting. It was my wife's fathers tractor and she wanted to see it run again. Boy that impact gun is murder with headphones on. I watch Dirt Perfect. That whole crowd always seems to have a lot of fun whatever they do.
When you were taking the exhaust manifold off, armed with a hammer I thought you were preparing to smack a mouse which popped its head out. Great video as always Wes
@@shaney2000 preys foryou and your family, my dad will have been gone now 7 years this December 26 lucky for me my youngest daughter daughter turned 11 at 330am this this morning (dec 24) and my oldest daughter turns 14 on December 29. Joy, happy, sad, back to happy, thank God for family and supportive friends. Try and have a Merry Christmas, and I'll be keeping you and your family in my thoughts.
This was awesome. The Oliver, the bluff, the carnage, the commentary, everything. It was great. Thanks for making this cool video for us, looking forward to this series. 👍 Merry Christmas
Thanks to you and a few other youtubers, I was able to do a revival of my own. You guys gave me the confidence to try and tackle a '78 F250 that had been sitting in the weather for 27 years. (It was even locked up.) This past Thanksgiving I was able to start it and drive it into my dads shop where it awaits the next stage of it's restoration. Thanks, Wes, for all you do. May you and Mrs. Wes and kiddo and Max have a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
I have a pretty good news for you Wes. You’re a terrible liar!!🤣🤣🤣 I sensed from the beginning that you had a surprise for that Oliver. Tank you for all the entertainment you provide us during those tuff times in 2020. Merry Christmas and a happy new year for you, your wife, kid and the dog. Greetings from Brazil.
Will be real nice to see that old girl brought back to life, these old tractors are our heritage & essentially got us to where we are now, so they should be preserved as part of our history,........... Merry Christmas & a Prosperous New Year to You & Family.. xxx
I was really hoping for you to fix this tractor, and when you said that the owner didn't want it repaired i felt a little dissapointed. I guess those bald eagles must have whispered something important in your ears since you went ahead an bought it for yourself. Looking forward to see the tractor beeing brought back to life :D Have merry christmas and a happy new year. Congrats on all the new subscribers 👍🏼
My friend has a Oliver tractor went to Canada with him for a Oliver retreat it was terrific there was a lot of Oliver equipment there tractors and parts nice to see these machines running in perfect condition.
My wife, the nurse, says that the skin gets thinner with age. This can result in easier brushing. I thoroughly enjoy your work and you are Avery competent mechanic.
23:57 "They had us in the first half, not gonna lie" lol. Looks like a great project! Looking forward to seeing it running again. That JD 45 loader sure looks odd on an Oliver.
Wes here is a thought for content. Jerk that loader off of there and either sell it or scrap it. Now here is the part where you forge a new RUclips frontier. Create a new attachment for the 770, maybe a jib crane or a forklift attachment. Next reach out to the Oliver community, see if you track down some of the original engineers from Charles City. Create a documentary that allows the world to see how the design concept functioned back then. Let us see the pieces, assemblies and components materialize on a drafting table with a slide rule. Next take us all on the journey of fabrication, welding, and assembly. And to put a nice a bow on the whole project lets us see how all the drawings for parts, service, and maintenance are joined to create the necessary factory literature. The reason that people so enjoy the older equipment is that the artifacts have a connection to the human soul. These items began in someone's mind. The drawings were made by a human hand. Another human hand turned the lever on a Brown and Sharp screw machine. The sweat from a welder flowed into the flux from a large Lincoln Sub-Arc unit. There is a human connection in the old iron. To my knowledge no one on RUclips has attempted the proposed endeavor. You could be the pioneer Wes. I would watch Wes, and so would a great many others. I have watched enough folks drown poor old engines with either and ignorance. I would volunteer to do some machine work, lay a bead, or pull some wrenches.
I told my son if I was him I would have tried to buy it, then you said "thats where I normally would end the video" that was great. Good video on Christmas eve. MERRY CHRISTMAS!!
I might be dating myself, but in the mid to late 90's (i think, maybe a bit sooner) they swapped the fat they fried the potato chips in ... the results as one former president once said (okay it was a bad impersonator on a morning radio show)... sounded like hail on a farm pond...
My grandpa had an oliver. My uncle still has it. My point being, that tractor reminds somebody of their grandpa and that guy will appreciate you saving this tractor.
At times, I Watch Wes kind of Work.! When you tried to blow back the radiator drain on the Block my thought was pulled the cap and use a 3/16", or 1/4" drill by hand to auger it out. It worked when I was working on my old Triump TR4 motor 35years ago.
No need to make a "mustie1/diesel creek" style revival/rustoration, as you are quite a bit more refined in your methods I feel and take a bit more pride it doing it right-right ;) Keep it up Wes!
I drove an old Oliver 70 over 60 years ago. That tractor was old then. The guy I worked for still lives on the farm in Montana where I worked. He's 91 now. I was 16. Great to see old Olivers in use and getting ready for more use. The 770 has almost double the PTO hp, but only .2 liter more displacement. Amazing that 3.5 liters today gets you 275+ hp (in cars). Looking forward to seeing more on the 770. You made mention of a few of my favorite RUclipsrs! Musti1 is a never miss. Diesel Creek and the dirt guy are right up there too!
I will admit that I felt really bumbed about how bad of shape the tractor was in but it gave me a warm feeling knowing that there are people out there like you that see the inner beauty of old machines. This has to be one of my favourite videos
Ive seen people dump kitchen spices into a tractor radiator to stop leaks, next thing you hear is, well now the motor is shot, i did all i could to save it.
Thanks for saving it Wes. Don’t give up on it just yet. One of your RUclips 100K plus members may just be looking to add an Oliver 770 to his or her tractor collection. You may just be surprised..! Hope you and your family All had a wonderful Christmas too. God Bless.
i found your channel after watching you and dirt perfect.I have binged on your channel now for 1 week ..coming as a union mechanic from Dominick's food.I have a lot to learn about wrenching.[in my next life] I am now a retired thermoking mechanic. you my friend are a gifted mechanic with great content..
Thanks for staying the course. I enjoy watching your video. Old tractors should never die. Scrap the loader. I grew up around tricycle type tractors. That is beautiful to me.
I truly enjoy watching your channel and how down to earth you sound when you show your humanity when you don't fix every project on the fist go. Secondly it is so inspiring how you fully explain your steps as you move through videos as if your entire viewer group is just standing behind you as you work. Great channel and please keep up all the great content.
Enjoy watching you restore and work on the old equipment. The worse shape the more I enjoy it. Like a previous comment I was waiting for wack a mole when you were taking the manifold off! Great video!
Hey Wes, just found your channel and have been binging. Love that you work on such a wide range of engines and vehicles. Has there been a follow-up video on this Oliver 770?
We've had Oliver diesels on dad and my farms since 1953, they start as fast as any when they're up to snuff, we never use the preheaters. My 1650 is tired, probably low compression and injection system worn, it starts a lot better with fast starter, I guess if I was going to spend to get it back to what it once was I would trade it on one that needed less. Your 1650 looks much better than mine does, looks like its worth saving. I m just an old Oliver lover dont mean to be a pest, enjoy your videos.
"I bought every spray bottle that McMaster-Carr sells" -- sounds like the intro to a Project Farm video.
That poor tractor when you took out the oil plug. I've had mornings just like that!
Perhaps that's why your Mum called you Oliver! 😆
(Les ducks & runs!)
After Taco Bell?
Some Imodium may be required.
When you're 65, every morning's like that! Well... almost ;)

Well, to be fair Wes, Mustie1 would probably have 3 spare engines in the stash, that he got for free from the side of the road.
"I just kinda like 'em and I wanna fix it" Boy, if there was ever a reason for every derelict thing I've ever restored that's it.
Yep. Except my "actually fixed it" count is lagging way behind the "wanna fix it" pile.
I retired 3 years ago as a diesel mechanic and i don't want to fix anything dirty and greasy any more.

Wes here is a thought for content. Jerk that loader off of there and either sell it or scrap it. Now here is the part where you forge a new RUclips frontier. Create a new attachment for the 770, maybe a jib crane or a forklift attachment. Next reach out to the Oliver community, see if you track down some of the original engineers from Charles City. Create a documentary that allows the world to see how the design concept functioned back then. Let us see the pieces, assemblies and components materialize on a drafting table with a slide rule.
Next take us all on the journey of fabrication, welding, and assembly. And to put a nice a bow on the whole project lets us see how all the drawings for parts, service, and maintenance are joined to create the necessary factory literature.
The reason that people so enjoy the older equipment is that the artifacts have a connection to the human soul. These items began in someone's mind. The drawings were made by a human hand. Another human hand turned the lever on a Brown and Sharp screw machine. The sweat from a welder flowed into the flux from a large Lincoln Sub-Arc unit. There is a human connection in the old iron.
To my knowledge no one on RUclips has attempted the proposed endeavor. You could be the pioneer Wes. I would watch Wes, and so would a great many others. I have watched enough folks drown poor old engines with either and ignorance.

Enjoy watching you restore and work on the old equipment. The worse shape the more I enjoy it. Like a previous comment I was waiting for wack a mole when you were taking the manifold off! Great video!
Today 100,000 tomorrow 1 million! I’ve watched you since the beginning and you continue to entertain me. Thanks Wes!

Wes' Air Tool Collection: Moving day !
Vehicular Rodent Population: Oh crap !
Positive ground?... Well good thing you weren't trying to fix it on opposite day.. That could have been a disaster!!!
Hey Wes, just found your channel and have been binging. Love that you work on such a wide range of engines and vehicles. Has there been a follow-up video on this Oliver 770?
I don't think it ever showed up again. At least not yet.
@@JustFixIt99 too bad(
We've had Oliver diesels on dad and my farms since 1953, they start as fast as any when they're up to snuff, we never use the preheaters. My 1650 is tired, probably low compression and injection system worn, it starts a lot better with fast starter, I guess if I was going to spend to get it back to what it once was I would trade it on one that needed less. Your 1650 looks much better than mine does, looks like its worth saving. I m just an old Oliver lover dont mean to be a pest, enjoy your videos.
Yep, growing old ain't for the weak!!!
I love the new special effects Merry Christmas!! Money well spent, thanks for sharing.
Them's lasers as Letterman used to say.
Glad you like them!
happy you bought that tractor looking forward to a nice series of repair videos
I was like how is he going to end this video and there’s still like 20 minutes to go? Well played Wes.
In all these years, today is the first time I turned on the alerts for a RUclips channel. Great content and great delivery!
