Nice find, and you are lucky everything works quite well for a tractor that has not been run in 10 years. The brakes on these were not the best. My brothers 1400 only has brakes on 2 of the wheels.
A great find to a great collection, Andy. Keep up the real-time, first-person presentations, quality recording and timely releases. I appreciate the social remarks you make about the history of the tractors and equipment you show. You are fun to follow.
Beautiful collection Andy! About 20 years ago, I had a very nice UB Diesel I sold to keep my two daughters in two different colleges at the same time. What a costly period in our life's that was to live through! My younger brother acquired the tractor from the Denver School District and hauled it to Pennsylvania for me (what a guy!). I got it running and used it on my small farm while my girls in elementary & high school till those collegiate bills maxed out about 3/4 the way through the third year and something had to go! I grew up farming with Oliver's & Farmalls. No Moline dealers close by and I was so happy to finally have the one 😊 I ended up with! While it lasted anyways.... ❤ that G 955 !
Andy your’e Livin the dream. Very nice collection. I only wish I lived where I could find more MMs that weren’t complete trash. That A4T is an amazing find!
The UB is one of the best looking tractors ever made in my opinion. My Dad used to have a gas UB. I would love to find another one that hasn’t been modified for tractor pulling.
Congrats on the 1K. You have a nice line up and had some luck with that A4T. Nice Oliver in the background along with some JD riders. Wish more people would take care of their equipment and keep then under a roof.
About a week ago I started my oliver 2655. First start in about 17 yrs. Started pretty good, but had to use a screwdriver. The key turned the fuel pump on, but wouldn't engage the starter. It has a bearing out on the main transmission shaft. You have to start it with the clutch in , transmission locks up otherwise. Always broke down. But thinking about giving it another chance. Not very powerful, Always ran hot, brakes never work, weird gearing.. very fast in road gear. So fast we never had it full speed, starts to wheel hop and gets uncontrollable. Would be perfect for a grain cart, or does ok with a 7 bottom plow ,about it.
Grandpa had an A4T-1600 for about 25 years. I remember after a head gasket blew, it got switched to 2-150 heads. And it snapped a right front axle. But other than that, no real problems. It wasn’t our Versatile tractors, but I thought it sounded good and could lug. He pulled a 9 shank Soil Saver and did other tillage with it.
That looks like the kind of place that could have lots of interesting goodies stashed away on it.
Love the Modern Machinery
Looks like some other interesting projects on that property
I bought a G955 about 25 years ago.
Picked up an 1870 10 years ago.
Need an Oliver 1865 yet for the complete trio.
That brought back some memories I work for a guy they had two of them and two of the Oliver’s we farmed with
Nice work !

My dream tractor!! 😍 I've made it a priority to eventually own an A4T 1600. What a great find Andy!
Nice find, you should see if the owner will let you do a will it start on that oliver in the back lol.

Congrats on a 1K+ subscribers.
Can't believe ypu found that tractor and in that condition.
I know, I’m still in shock about getting it running and driving.
I think I see a Oliver too.
Yes, he is going to get it going again he said
That is one of a few tractors I never got to drive😢
So now the question is do you put the other one back together too, or use it for parts and keep the 1355 complete
Still debating the next move with that one!
Will you use the other one to make one good one, or fix both?
Still trying to figure that out.
What model was that Oliver in the tall grass?
I think 1850
can u help what hp is the mm 302 super DESEIL PLEASE
50 HP
What horse power is it, roy denmark
150 HP. Not much by todays standards, but was a horse back in 1970.
So, did you buy a lottery ticket while you were out? I would have after that!
I know, super lucky
