We had a Minnie-White AT 1400 one size smaller than that. Was in great condition cosmetically and engine ran awesome, thing always started. Brakes never worked, it was loud and seemed a little under powered without a turbo. Awesome tractor for what it is. Guy few miles away owns it now.
Oliver 66, I thought I was a JD guy but in the past I had a few of your wish tractors. Out of school I worked 22 years for Central Tractor parts co. I was fortunate to have access to reasonable cost new and used parts, so I collected a few tractors. I had farmall 460, 560 diesel, 806 D, MM 670 diesel super, and 1 that I think you would have liked, A super 955 diesel. It was a White cab and chassis in back through the over under and a MM diesel front end. I've kicked myself a few times for not keeping it. I really did like the WFC cab. That tractor only had 1100 hours when I sold it. Keep up the great videos.
This tractor and the other one you mentioned need saving now before they deteriorate further. But gee she would be a beaute to own and do up . A green and white Oliver white moline4wd tractor . I have never seen one.
Awesome video! Hope you do one on the 2255 that you're also considering if you haven't already bought the 2655. Can't wait to see what happens either way!
Nice tractor that would be awesome to see in action! I remember this past year I worked at a machine shop and we did some work on a few Minneapolis moline engines and they are huge, I remember moving those blocks around and they were something else and helped putting the cranks in the crank grinder. I always was pretty entrigued by how big they were too.
On tractor house there is a 2655 at the tractor Doctor. He is about a hour west of me in eau Claire Wisconsin. He has a whole shed full of really cool Oliver tractors even a self propelled forage chopper.. He seems to know a lot about Oliver's if you have questions maybe you could call him and pick his brain. I totally agree with you they are a bad ass looking tractor.
That's a great restoration project depending on how long you want to wait before you feel comfortable about putting it in the field. If you can get it bought for what a salver would pay to get it, you probably ought to go for it. The worst thing about the articulateds is that they ride like a log wagon. I had an IH and swapped it for a challenger. Expect to go ahead a spring for an air ride seat. LOL!
That thing is a beast. My papa used to have a moline a4t-1600. I tell you, that was a very impressive tractor to a 4 year old. You should do a video for that 2255 you mentioned as well
That would be a cool horse. I have always loved articulated tractors. I will warn you though some makes and models can be very expensive to repair. I know guys that switched to MFWD because they where cheaper to operate. I would make sure the pivot points where the tractor articulates are good. You can put a jack under it to see how much slop you got. When me and my buddy got out of high school he bought an 8640 for his first tractor. I remember him buying new tires for it and it was $10,000 in 1995.
well I vote yes on this!!!! I was in the same situation as you I was using 4020s to turn ground and it worked but I have a huge love for 8 wheeled articulated tractors and thats why I have a 7020 deer but like that tractor the one I bought needed a ton of work but I'm slowly gaining on it you will absolutely love turning ground with that machine trust me
Oliver66FarmBoy I actually know the location of two different 7520s just gotta have the 💰 money lol. My 7020 runs with my 9 shank chisel I also have a 3pt (ripper) to try this year
If the engine runs smooth with out any trace of knock in the engine when warmed up it might well be o.k.. GET RID OF THE TURBO!!!!!! I had a 585 in my 2-150. Great lugging engine and fun to run. I loved mine. The WFE mechanics around here were violently against putting turbos on them. Too easy to get them too hot when working them hard in hot weather. The mechanic told me " when you are pulling it hard on a disk or field cultivator in late spring the only gauge to watch is the temperature gauge! It is easy to get the 585 running too hot. Just throttle back 300 rpm and shift down until it cools off toward evening." The 585 will keep pulling hard until you have it too hot and score cylinders and pistons. Expensive to overhaul! The mechanic had overhauled one 2655 three times because the owner's hired men didn't watch the temp gauge. If the engine is good and the other things mentioned below check out you will have a lot of fun with it
I think I seen one in the red and white paint scheme on Tractorhouse last week. I think it was a White though. It would look good on a set of 710r/38s too.
+Terry Presnal (TerrellFarms1) The one on tractorhouse is a Moline. I wouldnt mind having that one but its to far away and to rich for my blood at the current moment. lol
Your needs don't cost you much, it sure your wants that get expensive LOL it doesn't have to make sense oh, you want that tractor, then you should have that tractor, I get it!! I just found this video in 2022 so I know a lot of time has passed, doesn't matter I enjoyed the video and I hope you got the tractor!
Oliver Oliver boi when I saw that the name of this vid i swear that my jaw fell to the floor that 2655 if it is one of the last built it would have some history i would love to see that on your farm kicking ass as iv said before you farm is like a safe haven for Oliver tractors i would not let this one slip away she a beast nice vid Oliver im looking d=forward to hearing more on this tractor
If you miss at his buy you will miss it for the rest of your life. If the owner lives in Mexico now you man at need to sweeten the handshake a little if you know what l suggesting.
I personally think the 2255 would be better for you. mainly because to me a mfwd is more useful than a articulated tractor is for the amount of ground you cover. also parts for the 2255 would be a hell of a lot cheaper and what helps is there is still alot of 3208 caterpillar engines around to this day
i went to a ffa auction sat and they had a oliver 1650 and a 1800 both diesel both narrow front!! both original paint decent rubber!! 1650 brought 3200 and the 1800 brought 4200!!! i was wishing i had a use for the 1650 on my 8 acre spread!!! after see you are buying a big 4 wheel drive for 75 acres maybe i should have!!!! lol
+gerald volkenand Yea ya shout have. Its not to hard to find a use for a 1650. They are about as handy as a Swiss army knife. Big enough to handle some decent tools but still really nimble and not that heavy.
The cab looks just like the ones on the White 4-150 and as far as tires go add a set of 23.1x34 and she would look good. My cousin has a White 4-150 with the 23.1x34's on it and he has no problem with traction running with singles. I'll bet that Oliver has a lot in commend with the White 4x4 tractors than you might think. Worth checking into. Bandit
+Bandit farmer I think it would look good with those on it but the problem with going down to 34's is then I would have to come up with a set of wheel centers for it. I dont know though, it aint even bought yet so these decisions arent really a priority yet.
Just an idea. I hope you get her bought as I agree they are bad a** looking tractors ! It never hurts to dream big and I hope this one comes true for you. Bandit
Just the 20.8 38 tires and rim your looking 3 to 4 thousand and another thousand or so for new glass and door repair plus all the cable and linkage R & R
I seen a 2655 sitting in Washington state last week at a museum. Not sure what there doing with it it was sitting outside this place had so much old farming equipment almost look a salvage yard rows of stuff.
I say get it...invest in your farms future and power your gunna want it someday and it wont be there don't make the mistake I made with my old 2050 get the thing now even if you dont have the money to work on it yet just having it to save it is worth it
I have a Oliver Sicklebar Moore I'm not sure what it is but the casting on the gear Box is Z-425 Trying to find information about it maybe a manual for it cause it needs some parts
My biggest concern about that 2655 is the pivot pin. If the tractor was neglected, was the pivot pin greased, and how much wear is in it? That is one reason I'm not much of a fan of articulating tractors. Sure is some cool factor there though.
+1850oliver180AC Well the pivot on this thing is covered in so much grease and oil from not being washed that I think it was self lubricating. lol Anymore you can pick up an older 4WD for better than half the price of a FWA so its hard not to buy one.
Oliver66FarmBoy There was a 4-150 for sale on the Terre Haute craigslist a while back for 3 or 4 thousand, but it needed something fixed (I don't remember what). I just think they are unnecessarily large for the power they make. They will pull through wet spots, but they take the space of 2 tractors in a barn. If Oliver made a crab-walk tractor I would be more interested in that; like a Case 1470 or an International 4100. If I had 30 to 40 thousand dollars to spend, I would have a CH Cat Challenger over an articulating tractor.
Me and my dad know the guy that bought that tractor brand new and we use to farm the ground it worked in and the guy also has another oliver dont know if its a 1800 or an 1850 but the tractor
+kls1724 The 310 was known to have issues at High horsepower to but Im farming with one of them. Besides you cant hardly throw a rock without hitting a 2255 and if I got one it would have to be FWA cause I dont really want another big 2WD tractor for working ground. I could have that 2655 bought, fixed and in the field and still wouldnt come close to spending what I would just buying a FWA 2255.
man ik how you feel I'm looking at a bigger tractor right now for my hay operation always need more cash. and is that a Allis Chalmers in the background
I agree. $2500-4000 tops. Too much needs done. Too bad you can't just buy it shut it down for a year to do a complete restoration but good grief the cost would be backbreaking. Might be better as others say to find a decent 2255
People take the stuff of Craigslist because you talk to people wait around all day for them they never show up Craigslist is pain in a$$ it is great looking tractor your right about 4000 because thease old projects eat up lots of money time and get eat up
Be great if their was good parts tractor or bone yard with few of them parts are so dam expensive for old tractors .I love it looks like clean old tractor if you can get it working really good its still cheeper then any new tractor that have all the stupid luxurious that always keep you from starting if it runs and you can get it 4g and put 10000 thats cheep hp 🎉
Screw it just buy it that beast will walk the dog with that glenco and you have hard ground and with that hp and 4/4 you can do some pulling and it will be awesome and when you do buy I'm soooooo gonna have to drive down to see one in person lol I hope it works out for ya
Have you considered stepping up to a White 2-135 series III or newer? Once you get done screwing with this tractor you could have something newer, more reliable and in overall better shape.
+Joe Sweet The thing is I want a FWA if I go with a row crop tractor so that puts me in the 25-30 thousand range on a White, not a practical price tag for 75 acres. As for the Steiger your missing the point of having an Oliver theme on the farm here.
I would think long and hard before buying that tractor.. I could get you in touch with a one owner 2655 with 2500 original hours. A neighbor of mine has one. He has only kept it because its somewhat rare, and it was the last new tractor his dad bought. It sets inside their shed, and only gets started 2-3 times a year. He wont use it in the field, because he says it was pos new and doesnt want to break anything, since it might have some collector value.
I'd take the cab off. Those cabs were noisy and weren't all that airtight and the a/c , if it had it, didn't keep you cool as being out under an umbrella.
They are neat, their is a cool factor, but they are a morphodite thing, an 585’s are expensive!!!, an parts are getting rarer by the minute, I’ve been in them up to my ankles. In my opinion they don’t make enough power for their weight. My advice, not that anybody needs to take it!, buy another white, like a 4-225 an put a 8.3 cummins in it, plenty of weight, better hydraulics, three point, the good pivot setup, good power with a cummins, but not so much to hurt it, an I know what everybody’s gonna say, “ holy crap that’d cost a lot of money “, well It doesn’t hurt so much if you shop around an find the right parts, an don’t just buy on a whim, an if you found a good articulated white you can run the 3208 for awhile or quite awhile to justify it for awhile, my other piece of advice, Don’t buy on the cool factor!!, cool doesn’t put grain in the bin or milk in the tank!!!, any tractor can be cool it just might take some time
Minneapolis Moline tractors had these cabs. White used them after they discontinued these tractors. Anyone feel free to correct me if I'm wrong please.
That is a $3500 tractor. Needs mech. work, rubber, cab kit/repair, hyd. don't even work. Owner prolly knows it too, been sitting long enough for a tree to grow behind it. You call him? Offer him anything? You never know, guy migt feel it is worth more, but then he might look at it as better to have cash in hand then a tractor that just sits needing work. If you want some info on MM engines, or even just the A4T-1600 go to these forums: forum.minneapolis-moline.com/ great group of guys there. I wouldn't be afraid of the engine, but I would take the turbo off. 585 will pull all day without a turbo. Make sure it has enough fuel for working, and keep heavy oil in it, it'll do the job. Also, IMO I prefer the duals- you would get a lot less compaction for the tillage work. Not a big deal for a ripper, but for other tillage like a disc etc there is a lot of science behind reducing compaction vs crop yield. If you don't need perfection, keep an eye on Craig's list, 18.4's show up on there regular.
If you get that and throw a turbo on it, that WILL BE THE DREAM TRACTOR! Those things are NOT common! I think I just peed a little... It's a little rough. It even has a cab! what do they want for it?
@@Oliver66FarmBoy a lot of the heating issue in warm weather could be solved by outing bigger radiator on, but that means messing the front up so removing turbo is better option or leaving it non but not increasing the size of tillage gear behind it and just using some lower revs
+tim pille I dont know if its necessarily the best 4000 you could spend, I would be dragging home a complete rag. But damn a rag has never looked to bad ass! LOL

You need to get that for sure! Very cool!!
That is a sweet looking tractor!! Hope everything fairs your way and you can pull the trigger on it because damn thats cool.

That looks like a nice restor!!! Now you just need to find yourself a sponser for old tractor parts!
Wow I had no idea Oliver made a big tractor 👍👍 that’s a nice tractor it looks like it’s n pretty good shape
No he never did get it bought, the seller would'nt drop much on price...l guess that's why it didn't sell on Craigslist.

+Oliver66FarmBoy oh mate I will be
If you miss at his buy you will miss it for the rest of your life. If the owner lives in Mexico now you man at need to sweeten the handshake a little if you know what l suggesting.

there's a 2255 on CL in the thumb that might be worth checking out too...says new engine and good tires for 5,000.
+David Hunt Yea I saw that. It looks like its in about the same shape as this one and its farther away.
a friend of mine converted his 585 ci LP to the 800ci LP from a oil feild pump engine you just change the top end and connecting rods
i went to a ffa auction sat and they had a oliver 1650 and a 1800 both diesel both narrow front!! both original paint decent rubber!! 1650 brought 3200 and the 1800 brought 4200!!! i was wishing i had a use for the 1650 on my 8 acre spread!!! after see you are buying a big 4 wheel drive for 75 acres maybe i should have!!!! lol

That would be for looks only as they had all kinds of problems
That is A cool tractor. Hope you get it so I can see videos of it in the field.
Cool looking tractor
+David Goethe Yep it is!
Hey did you end up buying the 2655 very cool tractor thanks for the great videos god bless keep up the great work
Just the 20.8 38 tires and rim your looking 3 to 4 thousand and another thousand or so for new glass and door repair plus all the cable and linkage R & R
That is awesome I hope it works out for you
My neighbor had that tractor for a short time an did some engine work to it
I seen a 2655 sitting in Washington state last week at a museum.
Not sure what there doing with it it was sitting outside this place had so much old farming equipment almost look a salvage yard rows of stuff.
I would buy it. It looks really cool
+JD FAN 99 Its the ugly underneath that could be an issue though.
did you get the beast?
That thing would be awesome
+Jacob Besler No it would be AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!! haha
I say get it...invest in your farms future and power your gunna want it someday and it wont be there don't make the mistake I made with my old 2050 get the thing now even if you dont have the money to work on it yet just having it to save it is worth it
Hope you got it.
From time to time here in the Mid Atlantic region a 2155-2655 will come on the market. If you want me to I'll keep an eye out for one .
Look for one for me
Watched this when you posted originally wonder if the old girl is still there
Burning Springs Ky,
Almost Home, London.
what engine is in that
So what happened with it? Did you get it?
I'm with ya you need this !
+ratrodbubba I dont know if its need so much as really really really want. lol
+Oliver66FarmBoy I'm guilty of the hole want it and getting it more then needing it lol
I really really hope motor is good and the price is right. That is one bad ass pice of machinery.
+Mr Nate What, were you expecting me to get a tractor that wasnt bad ass. LOL
+Oliver66FarmBoy Why don't you look at a white 4-150 probably more parts availability and the 3208 cat is very common.
Low horsepower probably about 145 hp from 585 cu inches. Moline engines were big but not strong enough for turbo.
That has to be 1970’s or older, but how hard is it to find parts for them?
Well as not ataagat hard he reconds . He got all the parts for his 4.150 ok.
I have a Oliver Sicklebar Moore I'm not sure what it is but the casting on the gear Box is Z-425 Trying to find information about it maybe a manual for it cause it needs some parts
Great fine

+Jake Hess The guy that owns this thing now is a Mexican so lord knows what its fate is going to be. He has an 1800 Diesel to.
Probablely just rust up more and more.
I would go with a 2255. The moline engines were known for some issues with that much hp... The 3208 is a good engine. 2255.

Do it Save it from the scrap yard!
+Shawn Zenz I hope to.
The Allis for sale?
I hope the motor is sound and the price is right so you can get it home.
+canvids1 Meeeeeeeee to!
SWEEEEEEEEEEET 2255 or 2655 ether one is awesome! then youll need a bigger soil saver lol
+C&J FARMS No, those tractors tended to blow up if you over worked them. She will be plenty happy playing with that 9 shank.
I want one
Would’ve been cool to save but cost is a lot too
Berrian springs. In Michigan
What ended up happening with this ground pounder ?
ruclips.net/video/IKHgc544XP8/видео.html
the tires look more than thou hours on it
That was my thought, but on the other hand a 585 probably wouldn't live long enough under a turbo to roll the hr meter past 10k lol
Did you buy this?
the tractor looks like a lot of work. have you looked at other options as in other 2655 that looks like a ton of work
+Ben Alten I have yet to be scared away by a project, especially one this cool.
+Oliver66FarmBoy this will definitely be your biggest project if you do. did you call the guy yet
man ik how you feel I'm looking at a bigger tractor right now for my hay operation always need more cash. and is that a Allis Chalmers in the background
+olivertractor1650 Yea its an Allis 7000.
+Oliver66FarmBoy nice to bad it's to far away that be perfect I'm looking for a 100hp tractor.
I agree. $2500-4000 tops. Too much needs done. Too bad you can't just buy it shut it down for a year to do a complete restoration but good grief the cost would be backbreaking. Might be better as others say to find a decent 2255
Ill just hold out for the right 26 to come along.
Oliver66FarmBoy just get the 4-150 a bigger brother. 4-180, 4-210, it goes on. I know you like the green but it's not too far off
I already bought a 4-150. Youre way to late on that one.
Oliver66FarmBoy which is why I said get it a bigger brother lol
People take the stuff of Craigslist because you talk to people wait around all day for them they never show up Craigslist is pain in a$$ it is great looking tractor your right about 4000 because thease old projects eat up lots of money time and get eat up
are you getting it
2655
it's been rode hard and put away wet but its rare enuf I'd buy it
+Mike Mercer Good thing I specialize in buying rode hard and put away wet. lol
+Oliver66FarmBoy lol that's some good shit there. just remember paint ain't always great.
Be great if their was good parts tractor or bone yard with few of them parts are so dam expensive for old tractors .I love it looks like clean old tractor if you can get it working really good its still cheeper then any new tractor that have all the stupid luxurious that always keep you from starting if it runs and you can get it 4g and put 10000 thats cheep hp 🎉
I see it has a three point so I know its not a bareback but I could not tell if it had a pto or not?
+Fieldman12 No PTO but I wouldnt have a use for one on a 4WD anyway. I just want a 3 point.
Screw it just buy it that beast will walk the dog with that glenco and you have hard ground and with that hp and 4/4 you can do some pulling and it will be awesome and when you do buy I'm soooooo gonna have to drive down to see one in person lol I hope it works out for ya
+Michigan Farming Im trying to be a little smarter than just screw it at this point. lol
+Oliver66FarmBoy if you need hp would you consider allis chalmers 7000 series
No way. The colors would clash. lol
+Oliver66FarmBoy lol
Have you considered stepping up to a White 2-135 series III or newer? Once you get done screwing with this tractor you could have something newer, more reliable and in overall better shape.
+Joe Sweet Also if you are dead set on a 4x4 look a Steiger, they can be had pretty cheap. They are darn near bulletproof for their price point.
+Joe Sweet The thing is I want a FWA if I go with a row crop tractor so that puts me in the 25-30 thousand range on a White, not a practical price tag for 75 acres. As for the Steiger your missing the point of having an Oliver theme on the farm here.
I would think long and hard before buying that tractor.. I could get you in touch with a one owner 2655 with 2500 original hours. A neighbor of mine has one. He has only kept it because its somewhat rare, and it was the last new tractor his dad bought. It sets inside their shed, and only gets started 2-3 times a year. He wont use it in the field, because he says it was pos new and doesnt want to break anything, since it might have some collector value.
Did you buy it
I'd take the cab off. Those cabs were noisy and weren't all that airtight and the a/c , if it had it, didn't keep you cool as being out under an umbrella.
How much was he asking for it?
They are neat, their is a cool factor, but they are a morphodite thing, an 585’s are expensive!!!, an parts are getting rarer by the minute, I’ve been in them up to my ankles. In my opinion they don’t make enough power for their weight. My advice, not that anybody needs to take it!, buy another white, like a 4-225 an put a 8.3 cummins in it, plenty of weight, better hydraulics, three point, the good pivot setup, good power with a cummins, but not so much to hurt it, an I know what everybody’s gonna say, “ holy crap that’d cost a lot of money “, well It doesn’t hurt so much if you shop around an find the right parts, an don’t just buy on a whim, an if you found a good articulated white you can run the 3208 for awhile or quite awhile to justify it for awhile, my other piece of advice, Don’t buy on the cool factor!!, cool doesn’t put grain in the bin or milk in the tank!!!, any tractor can be cool it just might take some time
You know this video is from 2016 right?
He wants 32000 for it as of this last winter. He won't come down a bit.
Are you in Michigan then....thought you were in Indiana?
Somewhere in the corn belt.
I think if you wanted to get that poor Ole Tractor really nicely restored I’m guessing $18,000.00. I would offer $8000.00 to buy!
18 thousand would barely buy a new set of tires....
One in the fence line in Custer Park Il
Did you buy it ?
would you ever sell your 18 combine?
+David Hunt Nope, when equipment comes here it is here to stay.
Whats the story with the cab from White?
Minneapolis Moline tractors had these cabs. White used them after they discontinued these tractors. Anyone feel free to correct me if I'm wrong please.
Did you ever buy it?
That is a $3500 tractor. Needs mech. work, rubber, cab kit/repair, hyd. don't even work. Owner prolly knows it too, been sitting long enough for a tree to grow behind it. You call him? Offer him anything? You never know, guy migt feel it is worth more, but then he might look at it as better to have cash in hand then a tractor that just sits needing work. If you want some info on MM engines, or even just the A4T-1600 go to these forums: forum.minneapolis-moline.com/ great group of guys there. I wouldn't be afraid of the engine, but I would take the turbo off. 585 will pull all day without a turbo. Make sure it has enough fuel for working, and keep heavy oil in it, it'll do the job. Also, IMO I prefer the duals- you would get a lot less compaction for the tillage work. Not a big deal for a ripper, but for other tillage like a disc etc there is a lot of science behind reducing compaction vs crop yield. If you don't need perfection, keep an eye on Craig's list, 18.4's show up on there regular.
20.8 r46s
Put LSW 1400’s on it.
my bad I meant 2655
If you get that and throw a turbo on it, that WILL BE THE DREAM TRACTOR!
Those things are NOT common!
I think I just peed a little...
It's a little rough. It even has a cab! what do they want for it?
+66Oliver I dont know yet. Have to get ahold of the owner.
What ever happened with this tractor?
Can't go wrong with a IH 4366 or 4586.
+Crackerjack Both the 4366 and 4586 were commonly known for blowing motors. Plus I dont run IH.
@@Oliver66FarmBoy a lot of the heating issue in warm weather could be solved by outing bigger radiator on, but that means messing the front up so removing turbo is better option or leaving it non but not increasing the size of tillage gear behind it and just using some lower revs
I've seen green Whites.
Ok, congratulations?
We were minneapolis\ cockshutt dealers
Crazzy only 166hp back then that was work horse now 166hp is for pulling the wagon
best 4000 you could spend not many of them running a round let's hear that thing sing with that ripper
+tim pille I dont know if its necessarily the best 4000 you could spend, I would be dragging home a complete rag. But damn a rag has never looked to bad ass! LOL
