I just found your channel about a week ago and have been watching your videos. I gotta say I’m a little jealous of your Oliver collection especially the fwa. My grandfather ran Oliver’s brings back good memories. Thanks
Love that old girl 🙂 Is the engine a development of the Hercules version used in Diamond-T 981 tank transporter tractors? She sounds lovely and certainly has some power!
Company I worked for back in the stone age had a 1955 open station, fender tanks and I really enjoyed my time on that machine. Never got sick of the engine sound. He also had a 2-150 and 2-105 fwa (also had the 2wd front axle so we could take the front axle off over summer)
Well, you can add my name to the list of admirers of the 1955, looks and sounds great. The Gehl 4625 and 350 did awesome jobs too. I really like watching your line of equipment at work, you make them do the job, no panty lace work on your video. Thanks for sharing, and i hope you have a great Sunday.
I'm discing corn stubble now, and almost planted the 4-225. I was able to back up and hit it again and was able to get out out. So that's already a good day in my book. Thanks!
That 1955 is not only a great looking tractor but it runs great too. Love to see the older equipment still doing daily chores on the farm. Great vid Chris. I hope the spring is treating you well & here’s to a successful planting season. Cheers from BC
Typically, about the first thing I do when I get an Oliver is take the cab off if it has one. This one was in such good condition, I decided to keep it.
1955 sounds great. if you ever have any manure you want to get rid of, load up the spreader, hitch it to the 1955, and haul it out here to western PA. I haven't had manure since 1998, when I got rid of my cattle.
Love your videos Chris you got the best appreciate all your effort and time to do these videos I know I told you I got it 1855 with 2500 hours I'm working on a water pump and the radiator that it didn't need but if you're digging into it do everything hoses and everything I used it for 15 acres in my field I feel like a badass farmer up on that big tractor I love it it sounds sweet wait to get my Straight stack with all this Biden stuff having a tough time to get the three and a quarter inch inside diameter stack but all state parts supposed to have it next week we'll see 3 310 are the best sounding I still think they're awesome engine in the 1855 I just needed more oil Cooling look forward to your videos every night got your shirts and hoodies and stickers get her done
Maybe the 2050 can do some discing. I'm adding a switcher valve to my 18 foot 271 disc and packer so I don't have to keep switching hoses around on tractors with only 2 remotes.
Ok sorry it took so long for me to respond again. It turned into a busy day around here! Anyway my plow question is; on my 575 4btm hydraulic reset semi mount plow, I cannot get the last two bortoms to go in the ground deep enough. The front two I can get to penetrate the ground good, almost to the point if them tripping. But the back two just do not seem to go deep enough. So I was wondering if you had and advice or tips on what to do.? The plow itself is in good shape, I just recharged the nitrogen in the accumulater and also the hydraulic system as per the Oliver manual. The points and moldboards are not new but in good useable shape. Also my ground is heavy topsoil that really dried out in a hurry this past week.
This is mostly alpaca. It's like when the wife has a new outfit that she's been hiding in the closet months so that when she wears it the first time she can truthfully say "This? New? I've had this for months!" Not quite total bull, but something about it stinks.
Yep. The pto shaft had to be replaced, but fortunately I was able to put one together from parts I had. I put an idler pulley in place of the wood block that had rotted and let the chain jump off, and that was something I had laying around, so it was a relatively cheap fix.
That spreader does look similar too the knight 350 we had at one time but we didn't have the top beater and ours had taller 20 inch truck tires, they built some good spreaders
Gehl seemed to go back and forth. Knight made this one, but then Gehl made side spreaders for other companies. I guess no one wanted to get their fingers dirty!

great video thanks 👍

This one is a joint venture between Oliver and Waukesha.
@@ThatOliverGuyChris I love the sound of a Waukesha! My granddads 1955 fwa had it too. That's his only Oliver, but its my favorite 😍
Man that 310 sound😃 thanks for the excellent camera placement
I know what you mean, they have a beautiful sound.
Just needs a straight pipe now😉
@@humefarms210 no
Well if you're gonna do that must've put a turbo charger under it lol
@@Adam_Poirier Ol Hoss had a turbo out the factree
I’m all about recycling. Not to be too forward, but dang Mom has a big garden.

That's neat. I've often wondered if someone would go to the trouble of switching axles. Thanks for commenting and watching

@@ThatOliverGuyChris I would agree with that. Always good when you can avoid a lot of added work.

Spring has finally turned favorable and I have gotten a lot done in the last week. Thanks!
I really enjoyed the ‘Live’ corn planting stream the other night. That worked out well.
Great video. That should make thing grow!
Mom's garden always grows well. 😆
We had a 2055 4wd assistant had to sell her 15 years ago anyone ever seen it only 88 made
That's a nice looking 1955. I especially like one with fender tanks and open station. That cab though would be handy keeping one out of the elements
Typically, about the first thing I do when I get an Oliver is take the cab off if it has one. This one was in such good condition, I decided to keep it.
I always liked GEHL equipment. Quality stuff.
I always thought gehl parts were over priced. They used to make good chopper boxes though.
I use a 350 spreader works nice do you have hydraulic apron adjust?
No, mine has the 2 speed gearbox.
@@ThatOliverGuyChris what is the cylinder on the side up front for?

That's awesome! Thank you very much!
That's a old dicke John planter box on the dash, haven't seen one like that in a long time
Great video Chris, its always good when the 1955 is out and working!! Maybe the 2050 next???

Holy chit man! We always did the same thing...
I usually stick to spreading B.S. , but I did put a load of horse manure on the garden the other day

Another great video bro, do the solar panels power the farm or for another use. Safe travels
Those belong to my brother. All the power from them is sold to the electric company. He produces more than he uses so they pay for themselves.
I'm telling you, you should wear a mask in the grain bin. Great video 👍
I always think about it afterwards. Actually about 10 minutes in to be honest.
@@ThatOliverGuyChris did you see, someone in Hillsdale has a diesel 1850 with hyrdaul shift for 6000
@@bendunkelman4853 no. Marketplace?
I need someone in Connecticut to have a 1755 for $6000 lol. That would make me very happy. Actually I would settle for Southern Massachusetts as well
That 1955 is my favorite tractor you have. followed by the 1550 utility
Oh man, you have those snowmobiles sitting out... Please put those in the shed.. I still have my old 1997 polaris 700 twin.
They're my brother's sleds. I'll let him know. 😆
Wow 1st it’s been a while😀.
Up and at 'em!
Was the manure spreader a easy fix seeing you broke it last year?
Yep. The pto shaft had to be replaced, but fortunately I was able to put one together from parts I had. I put an idler pulley in place of the wood block that had rotted and let the chain jump off, and that was something I had laying around, so it was a relatively cheap fix.
Solar farming, We need more of that.
That's my brother's setup, and it all gets sold to the electric company. He produces more than he uses with those panels
That spreader does look similar too the knight 350 we had at one time but we didn't have the top beater and ours had taller 20 inch truck tires, they built some good spreaders
The neighbors had a Knight without the top beater and it didn't break stuff up nearly as well.
I see you guys didn't use the drone this time lol.
Lol. I think it's having issues, or a profound fear of poo.
Was the top beater on the Gehl spreader a factory option or it came standard?
It was an option. That particular model was built by Knight for Gehl, and we sold some Knights without the top beater.
That is a nice 1955 do you use that tractor for planting I see you have a Dickie John monitor in there
I usually plant wheat in the fall with it.
Why use the little loader instead of a real tractor it looked like you had enough room for a real loader tractor. lol
That is the big one. 😆
Nice 💩 video Chris 👍
Funny how everyone sold a 💩 spreader, but only a few made them.. pretty much the same thing with skid steers.
Gehl seemed to go back and forth. Knight made this one, but then Gehl made side spreaders for other companies. I guess no one wanted to get their fingers dirty!
@@ThatOliverGuyChris ya, and New Holland mixed in there too..
