And some advice on what to look for when buying one. Thanks Mike L. Angola, IN | ||

I don't know of any for sale in my area at this time, but there usually is one or two on Ebay on a regular basis. The main thing to look for in a 60 is a good engine. Engine parts are getting harder to come by all of the time. Gaskets aren't too bad, but to the best of my knowledge, pistons and sleeves are no longer available. Boring of the sleeves and using a stock piston is a way of getting around this problem. Next, I would check the front frame. They can be cracked, usually near where it bolts onto the transmission. From what I have been told, tractor pulling is one of the main culprits for this problem. If it has all of the sheet metal, that is definitely a plus. The side panels over the engine compartment are being reproduced, but the grille pieces are not, and can be a challenge to find a good straight pair. Those are the main things to look for that I can think of now. They are a great little tractor that is easy to haul to the shows. | ||

There is a 60 on the West side of SR#13 betweeen SR#120 and Middlebury, IN. I believe it's a 1953. The grille and wheels have been painted white, but the sheet metal looks to be straight. I could stop and take a couple of digitals to e-mail you if you'd like. | ||

If it is a 60 it cannot be 1953 as they were only made to 1948. If it is a 1953 it is a 66. | ||

I have what I believe to be an Oliver 60 Industrial tractor four sale. I'm in Washington state and need to sell it to pay off a school loan. Please email me if interested. The tractor is mostly all original and runs great. I'm thinking that it has the original green paint on it that is pretty chipped up from over the years. It has been garaged kept for the past three years. I can email pictures to anyone who is interested. Chad cdteodoro@comcast.com |
