We are trying to find out some more information about our newest acquisition, an Oliver 1755.
Here's the info from the data plate:
Serial: 226-855-676
Model: 675-21025
It should be a 1971 model. I'd be curious to know what engine it should have? It currently has a Oliver/Waukesha 283 gas, but it also has a "Cold Starting Procedure" decal on it, which I've never seen on a gas engine before. We're trying to figure out if the decal is wrong or if the engine is. (It has been repainted, but the decals were taped over and left, rather than being removed and replaced after painting.
Either way, it's a nice machine. Rather well taken care of, with a heavy-duty ARPS loader on it. It is having a slight issue with the hydraulics at the moment, but I think we're on the right track with that.
Also, would anyone happen to have a good, readable picture of the instrument panel on one of these? It's hard to tell what the lights are supposed to indicate, and the light switch has been replaced. We'd like to know what the right one looks like...
This is our first 55 series, so we're having to learn everything all over again. (Our other tractors are either 77s or 50 series.)
Here's a few pics of the 1755 (Our '51 77, which has been with us since it was new, is also visible.)
