Sorry the ride was canceled. Thanks for taking the time to show the equipment. Many memories of assembling the plows, field cultivator, and #5 pickers. While cleaning up an old tool box recently I came across a few of the Oliver keystone stickers that came with implements that needed to be assembled. Might need to send them to you! The wheel rake was made by Darf for several manufacturers. Assembled both Oliver and New Idea versions.
Fantastic FOURTH tractor show. I very much appreciate you taking the effort to SHOW your equipment. Up next...Fireworks ..... Oliver FEED GRINDER MIXER ? Thanks
This was a great video showcasing your collection. I’ve been having health problems as of late and will be having spinal surgery in 2 week but your videos always bring a smile to my face. Keep up the great content.
Hi Ross how are you.I loved your intro to the video it was funny 😂.I think I'll move away to and have an Auction to😂😂.I thought I would comment while I got a second.Thats what I got a lot of in the summer maybe 2 some days .Some days I fill like I'm 80 even though I am 57 to Some days to I just have to stop and smell the roses 😂😂 to because of my arthritis. I loved to your show of your Oliver's and equipment learning about your equipment that I didn't know about all it.I use to farm some to I used to have 40 acers and 5 cows and a bull and a pet pot belly pig and chickens to I even stayed with moms dad and mom he had some wholestiens cows and a jersey cow .And my dad's dad he had 72 acers and a Massey Ferguson to30 or realy it was a Harry Ferguson he had tobacco raised his own feed corn and a big garden and had Holstein cows and black Angus and sharlay cows and variety of cows I use to stayed with them during the summers when I was on summer break in the summer.We both love our grand parents my dad's dad gave me his to30 Harry Ferguson back in 1982 I think I wished I could have kept it but I had to buy my first car to go to work in in 1985.I have a to20 now to replace it in one way I hated to have to sell it.Ill tell you more maybe sometime maybe this winter if you want to here more.Sorry I know you got lots to read to I hope my message wasn T 40:06 to long.Take care Ross and I comment when I can.
Look on the bright side, even though weather spoiled the tractor drive, know you have an excuse to mow/ spray around where all those implements and tractors sat. Great video keep them coming
I enjoy playing with my toys at home also. Great collection of stuff. Don't worry about the Deere not "fitting in" there all green tractors. It's the red ones that will f up your day.
Quite a walk through history. Nice way to celebrate Independence Day!!! Having a couple of other tractor brands in the collection attests to family variety.
Thank you for the show of your equipment I enjoyed your collection so far anyway. When I was a young boy back in the early 70's our landlord had his equipment to get the ground we had to use his equipment and that meant we had to use his two row Oliver ear corn picker the lucky part for dad at least he got to use his own tractor which was a 1080 MF I had to use the landlords tractors and old corn auger and fill two old corn bins a MH 44 and an old farmall M trust me he got the better end of the deal. That and a 1850 Oliver tractor I bought as an adult were the only Oliver's we had on the farm and a 5100 white planter but I always liked them you are doing great with your channel enjoy every video
Ross in the Hart Parr Collector magazine July/August edition there is a small article on the Heritage series and a picture if a 1355 utility tractor. I thought of your silver tractor when I saw it and the article said only 3 have turned up.
I talk to that guy before he sent that article in. I think we found as many as five of the Heritage 1355s. I’m planning on making a video on what I’ve learned so far about heritage paint. Thanks!!
That is a cool idea to have tractor show at the rest stop of tractor drive. Been to a few of those a local FFA club puts on. Might make for a longer stop, but it would still be neat.
Quite the line up you have there! Plenty of room in the field for a 2255,1900, super 99, 995 lugamatic, among of course, more implements. Sky is the limit. If you buy enough you won't have to pay taxes 😂. This was a fun video 👍
I have a 1972 1755, I have always wanted one after sitting a brand new sitting in the dealer show room. I have my aunt's 77 that she bought brand new in 1950 and her 70 she bought used. I have front mounted cultivators for both, a few years ago we cultivated corn with them. I was a big hit with the guys that had never cultivated before. i had spent many hours cultivating corn in my youth. I have 7 other Olivers in addition to the before mentioned tractors
I liked the stories you told about each tractor and piece of equipment. I'll always remember the story behind each of my tractors/equipment too. Great video. Too bad about your tractor drive. Hopefully this coming Sunday will be better.
Thanks for the show! It would be neat to set up the hay train with the sickle mower and crimper. It’s one of those things that alway impressed me with that era of equipment. Sadly my grandfathers Allis setup wasn’t deemed worthy of saving. The old rubber crimping rollers are the only reminder laying out in a hedge row. They wore out about the time a pull swather came onto the farm…
Super 88 -- you really should do some body work, straighten the side panels and paint it. I really like that tractor. I have this thing about things that were built in 1955. We talked about the Ford Jubilee at the fair, it was built the year of my birth. My Uncle Claude used to restore these as a profession. I would really like to see you go all the way with that little thing. Love the ear corn picker and box and the Minnie-Mo Harvestor. Have watched this video several times.
Great video Ross, I love when someone takes care to preserve implements. Most people only want to have and restore the tractors and sadly many implements gets scrapped. I also like to be able to look at implements through the years and see how they evolved as the years went by. Very nice collection. Happy 4th.
You sure have a nice collection of tractors and equipment to play with. I'm a little jealous but proud to see you taking care of as many as you can. The 1755 is probably my favorite for sure
I’ll have to go snap a picture of our old Oliver superior drill steel wheel drill we fixed up and seeded a bunch of oats with it. Worked awesome and actually looks awesome and original.
Maybe "Ebay" has a carb for you for the 880? Also, looks like the right front tire might need some new air added to it. That cutter bar mower, that's what I commented on the other video you posted. Maybe this would be a good winter project, provided you had a shed with heat to work on it in. If you're like me, everything is done outside in the elements lol, still get the job done though. Oh man, that crimper reminds me of the one I had, rubber on metal though. Worked better than what people think they do. I believe mine was a woods, can't remember, sold it. Love your collection, I too enjoy the old antique tractors and equipment, to me, they're still far superior to today's stuff. And, many have forgotten what it really was like back in the day. Great video as always, cheers :)
I checked back at the time I was working on it and there was not one available. I found one now on there but they want $450 so I’ll probably just keep using this one until I can’t stand it anymore.
@@rosstheoliverman Perhaps just keep watching Ebay for one? I've had to keep looking for a part myself once, took a bit of time but, finally found what I needed.
Thanks Ross! I enjoyed the show😊 Im sure glad you included the 2020 and naa, you got to show your diversity. My tractors are all IH but I have a rainbows 🌈 worth of implements. Also I'm glad to hear you have a 4 row head foe the 7300, I was worried after all the horsing around with it you wouldnt get to play with it. Is your 64 drill a 8 foot or a 10 I can't tell. Now that I'm done haying, maybe I'll email you the pics of my drill and plows, I'll have some play time here for a bit I hope it rains though. Keep up the good work👍Thanks for the entertainment.
Dad bought a new Oliver super 55d.new50 baler had a 60.with a culavoter l was to young to know when to slow down and broke the baler to many times was older when I did a lot of corn plowing my uncle John in Michigan farmed with Oliver machinery l grow up in Elkhart county Bill Riley was the Oliver dealer thanks for sharing
Great video. Happy 4th of July. Best tractor show I've seen so far this year! I think that steering on the jubilee is the same as the 550 made by Saginaw steering. I have my 550's tore apart. I took it apart 15yrs and 5 children ago. I might have time to get it going some day.
Thoroughly enjoyed it, Ross. Like hearing about the tractors and I could think of a lot worse things for a bad habit than collecting old tractors. My boy, Cody, has been really interested in the Oliver tractors. We recently bought him a 1555 Oliver that sat workless since 2011. It needs a little work, can't seem to make it run without the choke being out a little but Cody sure loves it regardless. God Bless and Happy 4th!
Enjoyed seeing the 66. My grandfather had a Row Crop 66 just like yours although his had factory diamond plate step plates on the left axle for easy access for the driver. I remember him(70s/early80s) having an Oliver sickle bar mower for it that was not technically a pull type mower nor was it 3 point hitch because like yours the 66 did not have 3 point hitch. It fastened(I think) directly to the draw bar cradle by some kind of proprietary hitch that Oliver made. It had what I would call "dolly" wheels or 360 degree swivel wheels on the back of the mower. I'm trying to remember this from nearly 40 years ago.
This was a great video. I really love hearing the stories about a tractors history. I love the Golden Jubilee Ford tractor. We had Ford and Ferguson/ Massey Ferguson tractors when I was a kid. Now we mostly Deere one New Holland, and an IH 1650 garden tractor on the farm. The MF 165 is the tractor that would be the last to go on this farm. Any advantage to Oliver having the unloading auger swing forward instead of backward like other brands at that time that made combines?
Thanks! The 525 and 535 had a shorter auger and they folded forward. All the other models folded backwards. I assume that it was just so you could unfold it without climbing down.
Thanks for the tractor show and your information along with the equipment. What made you decide that Oliver was the brand that you decided that you wanted to collect/use? Also if Oliver/White was not available, what other brand would you have possibly taken an interest in collecting instead?
Oh Ross Yeah I wanted to say about teflon tape I use it a lot to 😂😂.and I wanted to say I use to restore equipment a lot to and Sickle mowers of all kinds and sell them I still try if I can .I got 2 32 Massey Ferguson sickle mowers for my self to.
And I looked at him, but I was smart then, I said first of all, I said when I tell you to get off the board you get off the board, and I’ll kick you out again 🤣🤣🤣
My dad has a hay crimper like that but it's rubber on steel rolls. It was my grandpa's and I don't remember seeing another one in our area so it a piece I don't want to let get away. I would like to find an oliver mower with a hitch to hook it to. I bought a tractor that came with an 82 mower but the mower doesn't have a hitch. I need to keep my eyes open for a parts machine that has a hitch maybe
@rosstheoliverman we haven't used it for over 15 years. The nice thing is you can store them with the hitch up in the air so they don't take up much room. It has white wheels so I'm guessing it's from the 3 digit Era? I was thinking about digging it out this year to try it out but I didn't have time. Maybe next year 😆
That was a great walk around Ross,I know you probably dont need another tractor I would like to see you get your hands on a row crop 70 Oliver ,awesome collection happy 4th of July to you
Ross, you mentioned something about a garden tractor at the 47 minute mark. Other than that Sears rig you brought home, do you have any garden tractors in your collection? Big Cub Cadet fan here 🙂
Its them Baby mama's calling to see about that increase in child support ......Or if your going to mow the trailer park little Leroy keeps getting ticks. And Congratulations on winning first place in your show lol
I concur with not having to take them to shows. I'm perfectly happy putting them to work on the farm.
They were made to work, I figure it’s better for them than just sitting in the shed and going to a show once a year.
Great video. Love seeing all the Olivers. It's great to see them all being used and not just sitting in a warehouse somewhere. Thank you for the tour.
Thanks Keith! I enjoy using them more than just seeing them sit.
Thanks for showing us your collection Ross!
Thank you for watching!!!
Sorry the ride was canceled. Thanks for taking the time to show the equipment. Many memories of assembling the plows, field cultivator, and #5 pickers.

The wheel rake was made by Darf for several manufacturers. Assembled both Oliver and New Idea versions.
Thanks John! I think you could have a RUclips channel with all the stories you must know from working there back in the day.
Fantastic FOURTH tractor show. I very much appreciate you taking the effort to SHOW your equipment. Up next...Fireworks ..... Oliver FEED GRINDER MIXER ? Thanks
Thanks! I really wanted a grinder mixer. I bid one up on an auction this past year but I didn’t get it.
Great tractor show. Thanks
Thanks Bill!
Awesome collection!! When I heard you say “I had it, I’m getting rid of everything” I said yeah right lol. Born a country boy, always a country boy.
🤣 they won’t leave without a fight! Thanks for watching!
This was a great video showcasing your collection.
I’ve been having health problems as of late and will be having spinal surgery in 2 week but your videos always bring a smile to my face.
Keep up the great content.
Cool, I’m glad you’re enjoying them!! Good luck on your surgery! Thanks for watching!!!

Cool! Thanks for the stories. There used to be a lot of tobacco growing around here but that all kind of went away.
@@rosstheoliverman Thank you Ross .I liked your stories to Ross
@@rosstheoliverman About the tobacco to yeah it's almost gone around here in central Ky I know of a few around that's still growing it around here .
Great video. Thanks for sharing your collection.
Thanks for watching!
Thanks for showing us some of the equipment in the lineup!
Thanks for watching!!!
Look on the bright side, even though weather spoiled the tractor drive, know you have an excuse to mow/ spray around where all those implements and tractors sat. Great video keep them coming
It’s good to get everything out and move it around every so often so yea. Thanks for watching!!
I enjoy playing with my toys at home also. Great collection of stuff. Don't worry about the Deere not "fitting in" there all green tractors. It's the red ones that will f up your day.
I love all tractors so it’s not too bad 🤣
Can't wait for more combine videos
There definitely will be more in the future
Nice fleet.
Thanks!
Quite a walk through history. Nice way to celebrate Independence Day!!! Having a couple of other tractor brands in the collection attests to family variety.
Thanks Don! I always say I like them all, Oliver is just my favorite.
Nice old tractors, like to see them all someday.
Thanks!!
great farm show i love all the stories behind all the tractors an epuipment
Who needs to see fireworks when one can see your collection. Glad you are saving them.
Thanks Gary!
Great show ,now next week you can bring out the other half ,nice line up
🤣 maybe. There’s a few non-runners as you know from other videos.

Thanks Chad!
God job Ross tractors and the emplemts tha were used with the tractors.
Thanks! I think it makes it more interesting to look at to see the tractor with the implement

I just think it’s better than parking along the side of the road. At least there’s something to look at.
Quite the line up you have there! Plenty of room in the field for a 2255,1900, super 99, 995 lugamatic, among of course, more implements. Sky is the limit. If you buy enough you won't have to pay taxes 😂. This was a fun video 👍
Thanks! 2255 is definitely on my short list of things I want to acquire. I just haven’t found one that strikes me yet.
Nice collection of Oliver tractors and equipment
Thanks Richard!

great video ross combine video allways good
Thanks Peter!
Hope you had a nice 4th. Awesome collection. 👍👍
Thanks Tom!!! It was a great day!
Man this is actually quite therapeutic for those of us that thought we had to many tractors. We do not and I need to buy more.
🤣 You can never have too many
Simply Awesome Farm Show video. Thank you for the trip down memory lane.👍👍👍
Thanks Dale!
I liked the stories you told about each tractor and piece of equipment. I'll always remember the story behind each of my tractors/equipment too. Great video. Too bad about your tractor drive. Hopefully this coming Sunday will be better.

Very nice!
Thanks Mike!

Thanks for watching!
amazing collection esp the tractor and corn picker and chaserer bin. health and happiness to you and yours.
Thank you Joe!
great farm show
Thanks for sharing. Every time I pull stuff out people think I’m having an auction haha.
You and me both! 🤣

I’m rearranging my display since I have an extra week. So I might hook the 415 up to the camper behind the late style 770

I also like to be able to look at implements through the years and see how they evolved as the years went by. Very nice collection. Happy 4th.
I feel the same way! I started collecting implements first, because nobody wanted them at auctions. Happy 4th!
I really like your tractor collection. I want to add a Oliver to my small collection ( bucket list)
Love all your tractors old Oliver 7300 hundred combine great machine I hope I can find one
Thanks! They’re out there just be patient.
Ya plan finding one doesn’t run fix like my farmall cub
You sure have a nice collection of tractors and equipment to play with. I'm a little jealous but proud to see you taking care of as many as you can. The 1755 is probably my favorite for sure
I really love the 55 series. I think they were some of the most beautiful tractors.
Happy 4th of July... Ross... nice collection.... cant lose what you lost lost time ago.... nope you never get done on a farm
Thanks! You too!
Oliver plows are the best plows ever built buddy
Great Video Ross, I'm surprised you didn't include your flattop 770.
I’m gonna try to get it out this week. Since I have an extra week to get ready for the ride I may rearrange my display.
Ross, I really appreciate you show and what you do thanks and Happy 4th!!!!!!!
Thank you!!! Happy 4th!!
Love your walk around about your your machinery brought back a lot of memories have a great 4th
Thanks, you too!
Great video Mr Ross
Glad you enjoyed it!
If you where selling I have dibs on the 88 and the 1755
🤣🤣🤣
Geeseze....... I don't have that many hitch pins.🤣🤣🤣
🤣🤣🤣
I always thought the coulter on the end of row crop cultivators was to help stabilize it on hillsides
Im sure it did help
Great to see some of your collection you certainly have some great tractors and equipment
Thanks Stephen!!!
Awesome buddy, I don’t have to go back to work until next Monday. I don’t know what your schedule is but just wanted to let you know
I was just talking to my brother-in-law about that. I’m not sure he’s able to this week, but it’s on his radar now at least lol
Great show, thanks for putting out the effort.
Glad you enjoyed it!!
I’ll have to go snap a picture of our old Oliver superior drill steel wheel drill we fixed up and seeded a bunch of oats with it. Worked awesome and actually looks awesome and original.
Cool! I have one of those as well. It’s very deep in the shed lol

Thank you! Happy 4th!
My brother has a white 6 row air planter but he had to upgrade to a bigger alternator to run all the blowers on his 67 4010 John deere
I have one of those. They made a PTO driven alternator set up. I’d like to find one of those
@@rosstheoliverman yah he was looking for that first thay are very hard to find
Thanks Ross! I enjoyed the show😊 Im sure glad you included the 2020 and naa, you got to show your diversity. My tractors are all IH but I have a rainbows 🌈 worth of implements.

What a great line up of ladies and equipment. Outstanding. "Hey" to Buddy. Happy 4th. Be safe.
Thanks Brad!!! Buddy says “ruff” aka thanks 🤣
I think it's 1650 narrow front end is my favorite
Ross thanks for going through the equipment and tractors and talking about them. Happy 4th of July 🧨🎆🎇🎊🎉 Thanks Michael
Thanks Michael! Happy fourth to you as well!!
Dad bought a new Oliver super 55d.new50 baler had a 60.with a culavoter l was to young to know when to slow down and broke the baler to many times was older when I did a lot of corn plowing my uncle John in Michigan farmed with Oliver machinery l grow up in Elkhart county Bill Riley was the Oliver dealer thanks for sharing

Happy 4th of July from my family to yours Ross. And I grew up on a family farm as well with mixed tractors from Whites too Oliver's love them all!
Thanks Dennis! Happy fourth to you too!
Thoroughly enjoyed it, Ross. Like hearing about the tractors and I could think of a lot worse things for a bad habit than collecting old tractors. My boy, Cody, has been really interested in the Oliver tractors. We recently bought him a 1555 Oliver that sat workless since 2011. It needs a little work, can't seem to make it run without the choke being out a little but Cody sure loves it regardless.
God Bless and Happy 4th!
Awesome! The 1555 is a good little tractor. I’m sure he will enjoy it and it won’t be long before he’ll need another one 🤣

I have several sets of those steps I just don’t have them on any of the tractors right now
After a little research, I think that mower was maybe an Oliver model 82.

Oh Ross Yeah I wanted to say about teflon tape I use it a lot to 😂😂.and I wanted to say I use to restore equipment a lot to and Sickle mowers of all kinds and sell them I still try if I can .I got 2 32 Massey Ferguson sickle mowers for my self to.
There’s definitely a market for sickle mowers if people learn how to use them again
And I looked at him, but I was smart then, I said first of all, I said when I tell you to get off the board you get off the board, and I’ll kick you out again 🤣🤣🤣
🤣🤣🤣
I had to laugh about the auction tag comment…..I’d hate to look to see how many of our pieces have the tag yet.
I didn’t realize how many were still stuck to stuff until I started pulling it all out here next to each other 🤣
My dad has a hay crimper like that but it's rubber on steel rolls. It was my grandpa's and I don't remember seeing another one in our area so it a piece I don't want to let get away. I would like to find an oliver mower with a hitch to hook it to. I bought a tractor that came with an 82 mower but the mower doesn't have a hitch. I need to keep my eyes open for a parts machine that has a hitch maybe
It’s probably a 137 if it has rubber. I think they’re kind of neat because a lot of them got scrapped.
@rosstheoliverman we haven't used it for over 15 years. The nice thing is you can store them with the hitch up in the air so they don't take up much room. It has white wheels so I'm guessing it's from the 3 digit Era? I was thinking about digging it out this year to try it out but I didn't have time. Maybe next year 😆
That was a great walk around Ross,I know you probably dont need another tractor I would like to see you get your hands on a row crop 70 Oliver ,awesome collection happy 4th of July to you
I have two Rowcrop 70’s. I like to find a Hart Parr 70.
Go to red power round up some time you will be thoroughly impressed
Yeah, I wish I had time to go to more shows.
if you have the public you can share their history with them
Hey Ross I have a 351 mower
Cool! They’re handy machines
Ross, you mentioned something about a garden tractor at the 47 minute mark. Other than that Sears rig you brought home, do you have any garden tractors in your collection? Big Cub Cadet fan here 🙂
I’ll probably have 30+ garden tractors mostly walk behinds.
Its them Baby mama's calling to see about that increase in child support ......Or if your going to mow the trailer park little Leroy keeps getting ticks. And Congratulations on winning first place in your show lol
🤣🤣🤣
You probably wish you was smart enough to sell it all lol and that’s why dad and I have 12 tractors LOL
🤣🤣🤣
Add some finish protection while maintaining all that patina with the vice grip garage 'shine juice' ruclips.net/video/HD7AvQZoYcU/видео.html
I’ve seen that stuff that he sells I need to try it.
Tell Ross it’s a hay rake not a tillage tool
Tell ‘em is what I meant
Some people try to use it as a tillage tool 🤣
