    Indiana Oliver sales results

    I attended a farm sale today near Lafayette, IN. It had an interesting selection of Oliver equipment that was in good working order. The tractors had been painted but not the best. All though were solid mechanically. Oliver 402 (I believe) - 4 row planter - $225.00. I thought this was a steal...

    JD killifer subsoiler on steel wheels

    Hi Mike: Since some time has passed and nobody has responded to your request I decided to throw out my comments. My suspicion is that these things are generally unavailable to the point where each one sells for whatever anybody in the crowd is willing to pay to get one. Sometimes, maybe for...

    77 Row Crop Trans Oil

    I have an Oliver 77 Row Crop with a gasoline engine built in about 1955. Today I drained the oil from the differential and transmission. The oil was of identical consistency from both drain holes. I have no manual for this tractor and am a bit confused as to how to add the new oil. My guess...

    Anybody have any knowledge as to what has happened to the man that runs Tired Iron Farm in Brostol Indiana? I placed an order for a John Deere hood in December and have been unable to make contact of any kind since then. Is he still in business? Thanks in advance.

    After market fenders

    In the past eight years I have purchased three sets of replacement fenders, and hoods. I have been very pleased with all of them. The fenders for my AR and D came from Robert LaFever in PA. The metal for my BO came from Detwilers in Minnesota. In every instance it took me about two days to...

    THE INHERENT DANGERS OF OUR PASTIME

    More than once the conversation at our local tractor club has revolved around farm accidents. I don’t think there is one of us that have been involved in farming longtime that does not consider them selves lucky to have not been killed or seriously injured. For some reason, we just got lucky...

    John deere D

    If I set everything up RIGHT, my 1929 John Deere D will start every time on the first impulse. With their huge pistons it would take unbelievable strength to flip one of these over the way you can a little John Deere A. Consequently, a lot of time and effort must be spent following a strict...

    BO SHEET METAL

    In the past few years I have examined everybody’s reproduction fenders and the best by far are made by Detwiler. Their 2007 catalog lists BO fenders at $425 a pair. And the pulley guard for $55 (#B1054) They even have (#1076) Citrus Grove Skirts for $650. In the catalog they state, “Our...

    John Deere A PTO

    On my 1938 AR the PTO shaft had been twisted off just where the cross-bold hole went through the shaft. All I had to do was drop the oil out of the rear end to a point below the PTO and back out the threaded packing nut. My tractor proved to be easy,,no need to open case top. To avoid oil...
