My great uncles farmed with Oliver tractors because they were easily freshened up. They had a super 88 two 66 row crops. They worked them like borrowed mules.
Had super 88 gas with loader, picked up a large round bale one winter day just after my uncle left and had told dad we needed to plate frame with heavy steel as he had seen them break in half, it broke in half and layed me across the hood. Found another frame welded hole in engine closed and used it another 10 years
On my farm there are Oliver's 1850 & 880 and a 1650 cockshutt. Also have 2-105, 2wd & 4wd 2-155, 4-150, and 4-210 white, though not all are still being used but some are.
The family farm was sold several years ago. I disked with a 1900 Oliver with front axil assist. My brother had a 2155 Oliver. We also had a Vista G100 Moline that my brother still has. A John Deere 4010 rounded out the big tractors. the small tractors were an 8N Ford and E3 Cockshutt.
Actually that would be an Oliver 1950, not a 1955. It was equipped with a 212 cid 4 cylinder 2 stroke cycle Detroit Diesel made by the General Motors Corporation. Jimmy was a slang term for Detroit Diesels. Nebraska Tested at 105.89 pto hp.
I think this tractor may have some turbocharger issues. My dad had one of these and it never smoked that much and it looks like he has a loss of horsepower
This field is 25 miles from Lake Ontario. The growing season is too short for a second crop of soybeans. They were plowing to smooth out the field from a tile project.
If that was going to happen it probably would have happened years ago. The 1855 was the problem model until an oil cooler was added. The original 2 piece rod bearings were a problem until updated with the one piece design.
We have an Oliver 995 with a 3 cyl Detroit engine, we only use it in tractor pulls, it weighs 12,000 lbs including the driver and it consistently comes in first place. When starting it up and staging it the people come out of the woodwork to see it, quite the noise of the old Detroit.
Too much horsepower from that little 310 Waukesha,the 1755 was much better with that engine,we pulled a 4 16" in heavy soil and hilly ground,a non turbo 310
Arrow Engine Company of Tulsa Oklahoma owns the rights and patents to these engines. According to their latest shop manual, this engine, fully updated with Arrow OEM parts is rated at 122 continuous HP. Mine is dead nuts on at 120 HP. I would further point out that an Allis Chalmers 7020 with only 301 c.i.d. Nebraska Tests at 125.51 PTO HP. Quality of componentry and assembly is essential for these engines...actually for ALL engines, regardless of cubic inch displacement.
@@davelovell7705 very true, I am a believer of higher Cube engines for more torque at at lower RPMs, but true, heavier built, quality Parts would make it more durable with adequate cooling oil and water, it was amazing the power Allis Chalmers got out of the 301 and durable, but I would take their 426 instead
I always did like the sound of an Oliver
Seeing an oliver hard working in the field is always a sight😄👍
Those Oliver tractors are good looking.
I seeded hay today with my Super 88 diesel. Almost 10,000 hours and still a reliable tractor. Great video as always!
Very cool. What type of drill do you run?
@@bigtractorpower for this, a Great Plains Solid Stand 13.
Always fun watching an Oliver going through her paces!! Thanks Jason! Like the Rops on that 1955!
Great video. One of the best that I have seen. Thank you for sharing.
I think the 770 was the most underated little tractor ever along with farmall 504 row crop great work horses
I like Oliver's and love old school farming . Man does this video bring back the memories .
Not really an Oliver fan but love the old school working the field!!!!
Great video
Love seeing the old iron still out there everyday working the fields. You can’t beat the old stuff for sure!
I grew up with Oliver’s tractor. We had a 1600, 1750, 1850, and a 2050. Love them tractors.
That is a very good looking tractor right there. I much prefer the looks of this one to those with the underslung front axle.
Thanks for the Oliver, brings back memories
My favorite brand.
Great brand. I always enjoy the opportunity to feature Oliver.
I got one just like it!! Very nice tractor.
Crickey, she's certainly working, blowing a ton of coal, do her good, only just maintaining traction too, great video. cheers, Andy in Adelaide.
Great video. Love those olivers. Thank you
Love those Oliver's. We farmed with them for seventy years.
Cool tractor!
Awesome tractors. We had an 1855 for many, many years.
Wow! Love that sound.😊
The visuals are helpful for understanding how these technologies work
My great uncles farmed with Oliver tractors because they were easily freshened up. They had a super 88 two 66 row crops. They worked them like borrowed mules.
Love the video I spent countless hours on a 1655 Oliver great tractors
oliver for life
Great brand.
@@bigtractorpower Family's got an 1850. No problems since we bought it used. Best tractor we own. Powerful, and reliable.
My husband loved their 1850❤
Very nice tractor
A great 70’s classic.
Nice video big T 👍👍👍
Nice tractor. It's ageing better than me at 50 years old lol...
Now he's plowing doing a good job.
A small farmer up the road from me uses an Oliver. I believe he plants with it? I see Jason you're almost to 600K subs!! That's AWESOME!!!
We have a 1955 Oliver white with closed cab and finder tanks she needs restored tho was my grandpa's main tractor
Very cool tractor with all time option.
@@bigtractorpower also has the twin pto and over under
how deep was he plowing ?? 1955 should play with 4-16 unless he awful deep ... as it appears
My guess 10"
@@duanehanson8842 He's moving right along too.
Yes, that plow is buried, you can see the dirt is slamming up against the trip housing way above the shin plate.
He's deep you can see the void between the bottoms is crowded, good thing no trash to cover.
Maybe they're doing that on purpose tho. There's no trash maybe they're trying to break up deeper compaction
Nice...!!! Did that transmission have "over and under"...??
Judging from the decal on the hood, yes
Nice tractor 👍👍. Our one landlord is an Oliver fan.
Olivers on our farm: 880, 2 - 1850s, 2 - 4-150s (sure, they're White....but close enough)
Close enough in my book too. Very cool.
I used to love chisel plowing with my uncle’s 1655.
when tractors were built to serve genrations, not years
Intill it throws a rod.
We still run some Cockshutt and White badged Olivers. Incuding a 1955
I enjoy seeing your farm on RUclips and Instagram. I hope to feature some of your cool sumac red machines someday.

He better keep the oil checked. We used 2 806 internationals pulling 5 / 18's.. I don't ever remember the struggle being that bad even in red groud.
Good video.
Operator needs to get tractor and plow on the same page regarding the "line-of-draft' !! Front wheels are crabbing towards the furrow wall.
We pulled 5/16s with our 1955 fairly easy.
Pulled a 5-18 5 bottom #548 w 619 bottoms spring reset with a 1970 G950 MM south of Mineapolis, 😂 Lakeville area
Wow very cool. I filmed a G-1050 plowing a few years ago.

That tractor 10 years newer to me,amazing tractor for 55 .
No disrespect but you may be confusing the 1955 for the year rather then the model number?
Cool pair for sure didn't realize they made plows n such
Oh yeah back in the day Oliver had a full lineup of equipment.
Oliver-White plows were the best. High clearance for corn stalks but not so heavy like a DMI
When White bought Oliver it was a sad day methinks🇬🇧😎
Farmed with a 1750 cockshutt basically same tractor as Oliver 1750 with a cab 310 natural engine rated at 85 hp but pulled better than a 1030 case
Coulter #4 is MIA, and #1 is just along for the ride. Plowing plenty deep though.
What can ya do. There's not much trash to cut anyway
Category III 3 point was also an option.
The family farm was sold several years ago. I disked with a 1900 Oliver with front axil assist. My brother had a 2155 Oliver. We also had a Vista G100 Moline that my brother still has. A John Deere 4010 rounded out the big tractors. the small tractors were an 8N Ford and E3 Cockshutt.
Oliver, the other "green" tractor.
My uncle had one. He called that the Jimmy diesel.
Actually that would be an Oliver 1950, not a 1955. It was equipped with a 212 cid 4 cylinder 2 stroke cycle Detroit Diesel made by the General Motors Corporation. Jimmy was a slang term for Detroit Diesels. Nebraska Tested at 105.89 pto hp.
@@davelovell7705 , yes my bad, you are correct.
I think this tractor may have some turbocharger issues. My dad had one of these and it never smoked that much and it looks like he has a loss of horsepower
I was wondering how many manufacturers back then offered ROPS with a canopy?..
Pretty sure all of them. Deere and international had them in the 60s
👏👏👍👍🚜🚜👌👌🇧🇷
They should be putting beans in.
This field is 25 miles from Lake Ontario. The growing season is too short for a second crop of soybeans. They were plowing to smooth out the field from

Don't get too close to it, you could get hit with a rod.
If that was going to happen it probably would have happened years ago. The 1855 was the problem model until an oil cooler was added. The original 2 piece rod bearings were a problem until updated with the one piece design.
1955 are always turbo charged..

Lovely tractor but it's smoking more than a Ford!
Old iron...
Too much horsepower from that little 310 Waukesha,the 1755 was much better with that engine,we pulled a 4 16" in heavy soil and hilly ground,a non turbo 310

This Oliver was really 'running on coal' under load. Not sure if it's normal for the era. Or else, the engine may need some TLC...
Oh yeah roll that coal lol
Normal
