I used this tractor with dad in the late 60s and have now acquired it. I describe it as my old rusty tractor. How can i find out more about oliver tractors and more especially this one and which other years and models have the same parts if i want to restore it? i have been told they are easy to get running. (i can still turn the crank.) thanks! wendy |

Would like to have a set of wheels, rims and tires 18.4 x 34 for 1855, have a nearly new set of 18.4 x38 tires and wheels, to trade or sell. joe richard hamilton ohio |

I can tell you that Maibach tractor in Creston Ohio will likely have or can get most any part you need for it whether you're just fixing or overhauling. Engine overhaul parts can be pricey. I spent 3 times as much on a "60" engine overhaul as I did on my Allis-Chalmers CA engine overhaul. I didn't cut any corners on either one. Being able to turn the crank is a plus. Start with tune-up parts and fresh gas and oil. That gets most engines running again. Theres a book written by Herb Morrell who was an engineer at Oliver that is very informative. |
