What were the years that Oliver's were manufactured?
I had heard that they were not manufactured after '61".

The last year that a production tractor rolled off the line with the name Oliver on it was 1976. It was a 2255 that was destined for export. The first tractor to bear the name Oliver was a prototype that the Oliver Chilled Plow Works was about to put into production, before they merged with Hart-Parr(among others). This was in the late 20's, with the merger happening in 1929. After the merger, the Oliver name was added to the tractors and the Hart-Parr name was slowly phased out.

To the best of my knowledge, only one of the 'Chilled Plow' Oliver tractors is know to exist today.

I recently purchased a two row Oliver corn picker, model 83. Where can I get an operator's manual or any other information?

Go to the links page on this site and click on the link for the Floyd County Museum. They should have the manuals you are looking for.

Jerry,
I learned at the HPOCA show that there were only 100 2255's made in that production run in 1976.
