Just found your channel, what part of the country are you in? Back in the day, we had a Oliver 70 and #15 combine. It had the auxillary continental motor. Your #2 sure looks similar. I remember the last time dad used the 15, it tore the canvas apron due to a broken frame. He got an old MM model S self propelled to replace it, he didn't get along with the bigger machine so he parked it. Dad later got a #18 to replace it. I still have a 18 in the barn and a HP 70, havent used them for a while, that 18 was a good machine. When I started farming on my own in 69, I used the 18 a bit, replaced it with a Deere 55. We no longer had a viable Oliver dealer, so went to IHC.
THATS A REALLY GOOD VIDEO😊
Love seeing these machines work
Smooth 👍 so glad I got to a couple of your past shows!
Sweet
Still getting the job done!

Central Iowa
is that an original plow shares radiator cap on the 70 ?
Yes it is! 👍
I bet that left you wishing for a bigger field
YES! Always sad to run out of Field!
