I love all tractors but when I was a kid I was partial to the John Deere’s as that’s all my grandpa had, then I seen an Oliver at the county fair tractor pulls one year and it stole the show I was impressed. Now years later I’ve been looking for one to restore like I did with my John Deere A. Great video man.
The Oliver is running and operating great. It would be nice if you and Victor could do a little bit of a restoration on it. Like replacing some of the hardware that's rusted and worn. And giving it a good cleaning and painting it. The Oliver would be something that Dan could use when he's a young man. If you could find an old Oliver just for parts especially undercarriage. It's great to see the old equipment being used but not abused. Thanks for taking us along with you as you make memories for Dan.
Neat video, I was surprised you pulled both trees at once! The crawlers are hard to beat in the snow and mud. We've got an OC-6 and OC-46. Thanks for the great camera shots!
I've got a 1952 OC3 Oliver just like that but not running, never found a carburetor for it, I've had it now for 30 years, And it has new tracks when I got it. Great video 4Dan..👍🏼
Very impressive makes me want to get my Oliver OC4 running again... I'm in Southeast Canada in New Brunswick. You got lots of views. I may have to upload some Oliver crawler vids on my channel, lol. Thanks for sharing there eh!
There is something very ‘in synch’ about this footage. A man really enjoying his machine in nature. It would be cool to see you pulling a long toboggan/2 people on skis; or a hayride cart through the forest. I think the purr of the engine is part of it as well, it doesn’t seem like an overly noisy tractor.
@@thomas7770 thanks 😊, ya it’s not a very loud machine compared to some of my other ones lol. I do actually do wagon and sleigh rides for the kids and family 😊
My son has 0c3 that has been owned by two families. Like new . Completely restored to new condition. with front blade. Amazed by what it can do. Think his is only 48 inches wide.
I usually am not into things like this, but I liked it right from the beginning, I would love to take this out for a ride for an hour or two, looks like a load of fun🤪You don't see those everyday.
Nice machine is a farm tractor as the low hitch is for field equipment, for logging there are arches and risers for the hitch to put the log wieght on the hitch.
I got a lot of old machines old iron but I never had an opportunity to buy a crawler like that my grandfather he scrapped one out back when I was worried about 9 or 10 years old I wish that hadn't happened but anyway yeah that's a great looking machine and it definitely is running good
Hey thanks! And ya my grandfather got rid of a few things I wish he would have kept around to lol but like you I was to young to say anything about it lol but hopefully I’ll be able to keep these old things around and running for my kids! 😊
lol that would have been a crapy time lol on a older video when we where testing it after getting it running we had to put a throw out bearing in it but at least it was on solid ground 😂
Oued the old Cat D2, post WW II to skid elk AND poles out of the quakies in December one year! Another elk away from the haystack where it fell in another December! Good memories!
Lmao 🤣 it’s funny when people point out the ol canadian accent cuz I forget we even have one. Last time I was in the states I went to Florida and I was talking to my wife in a store about what to buy and I said eh a few times and the cashier was giggling and finally i said what! He says I’m sorry but your Canadian obviously arent you? just never actually heard a Canadian accent like that before 😂
ha ha im just messing with you , seriously though that machine is sweet , the speed and wide track on that is impressive ,love the old machines and am starting to collect them myself beginning with a 1961 international td340@@4Dan21
@@idahormj66 oh nice! That’s a cool machine too! I love collecting the old machines and saving them, they are better then anything they make today in my opinion 😊
@@johndeerekid8490 Yes I could be he is an idiot. I had to totally rebuild the undercarriage of my MC including machining the idlers and rollers to take tapered roller bearings, new pins and bushings in my rails and me rebuilding my final drives. I have 10k in parts in mine. I used a hole saw to cut relief holes in every other grouser 15 years ago.
@@johntolvstad7210 If you actually got up off your butt to look at a snowmobile you would see pressure relief holes through the track so that the track will not fill with to much snow and rip, I dont have to look as I own four snowmobiles and two crawler tractors both of which have a snow pressure relief hole in every other grouser.
Excellent footage! Growing up on a farm, this was the 1st machine we were put on (6yrs old)!
That’s awesome! 😊

Love the stance and simplicity of that machine.
Ya I love how simple it is too 😊

I'll be dipped. An old tractor with a conversation kit. Awesome one of tew. 👍👍

After the 1:30 mark, you have some really wonderful footage of that machine riding through the forest in the snow!
I was thinking the same thing when I edited it! :p

Yes they are really good machines for the size of them 😊
Judging by the fact that one tractor has already broken down here, and now the second one, it seems to me that this place is enchanted :)
Lmao you could be right 😂
What a cool piece of machinery!
I had a oliver cletrac co3 46 in wide 10 inch track , A lot of fun but you have to stay on top of them
I usually am not into things like this, but I liked it right from the beginning, I would love to take this out for a ride for an hour or two, looks like a load of fun🤪You don't see those everyday.
lol not to many around anymore but they are fantastic little machines! 😊
@@4Dan21 🤗
So such a cool machine. So neat
Cool rig. Runs great.
Thanks 😊
Man, that crawler practically floats through that snow
I had a Oliver o C3 Forty six inch track 0:02 lot of fun. You have to stay on top of them though. Yeah it has a clark transmission
Nice machine is a farm tractor as the low hitch is for field equipment, for logging there are arches and risers for the hitch to put the log wieght on the hitch.
Yes you are correct! 😊
That was great!
Thanks 😊
Impressive little oliver
Thanks 😊
That thing is fast.....cool stuff.
I had a oc3 in the 80s to haul my wood out,worked good for its size
Ya they definitely are great little beast 😊

I remember my uncle put in a clutch in the Oliver crawler when it was in the calves pen three foot deep mud (60 yrs ago)
lol that would have been a crapy time lol on a older video when we where testing it after getting it running we had to put a throw out bearing in it but at least it was on solid ground 😂
Another Great Video 📹 😊
Nice machine dude! Exactly how i would have unfrozen those logs... hit it with the track , chain up... and roll! Victors's skill and luck! lol
lol thanks man 😂
Fuel tank and hood looks exactly like my my parents 1947 B F Avery. Shift pattern same also. Herculies engine.Pro with pully looks same also
Nice Machine
Thanks 😊
Очень крутой трактор! Не ломайте, держите его.
Yes I will do my best to keep it going! 😊
That’s sooooo cool
Oued the old Cat D2, post WW II to skid elk AND poles out of the quakies in December one year! Another elk away from the haystack where it fell in another December! Good memories!
Sounds like fun! 😊
Nice tractor. You might want to slow down a bit, save on that undercarriage. Speed is hard on undercarriages.
Thanks 😊 and ya I just wanted to see how smooth it was in the snow, if I go that fast over rocks I’ll be thrown off 😂
Yeah I’ve done that before on a 1010 jd
😎👍
That sure is a wide stance on that crawler.
I know a guy from eastern Canada when I hear him. Ontario, Nova Scotia? Surely not from New Foundland 😂
lol Ontario :p
That easy oat worked great. Haha. Jk. I like the accent
Lmao 🤣 it’s funny when people point out the ol canadian accent cuz I forget we even have one.

Where does one get this magic easy out tool set
lol Amazon :p
Is it hydraulic drive thanks
Hey good question! No it’s gear driven like other old tractors of that era with wheels 😊
I grew up on Oliver’s.
What year is the crawler?
There where made between 51-57 I believe this one is a 53 😊
To remove that bolt you may need a straw from mc Donald's
In desperation I tried it one time on a water pump bolt
Little things mean a lot
Прикольный луноход.
🤣 thanks
Is it a Oliver or a kletrack ?
Well it’s an Oliver Cletrac OC3, but it’s after Oliver took over Cletrac. I believe this one is a 53 😊
My OCD hates that cotter pin job.
oh sure lets make victor do it
lol well I mean it is his job and he’s better then me at it giving him a better chance of success 😂

You are wearing you tracks out faster without snow relief holes in at least every other grouser.

Snow is lube just like a snowmobile

You need to get yourself a proper tap handle dude!
It’s out not oat
The faster you travel the faster you wear undercarriage!!
