    What Did You Do With Your Green Tractor Today?

    On and off I have been working on my ‘51 77. A few months ago, I had a guy who is a retired mechanic come in to help me figure out why one cylinder had low compression. Turned out to be valve adjustment. I gave him the carb rebuild kit I had and let him do that. New plugs and points and timing...

    Oliver 77 paint questions

    Apparently 1951 was a year when several changes were made and not necessarily all at once. My ‘51 77 does not have the yellow center hood stripe or the yellow stripe on the frame. If it was meant to have the yellow stripe on the side, the frame casting would have an area that stands out for the...

    Oliver 1800A

    The two accounts of its history sound like a pretty good fit to me. I haven’t seen one, but I thought I’ve read that if you had a build card, it shows the name of the dealer that it was shipped to from the factory. That would add another supporting piece of information. If the serial number tag...

    I’m trying to help a friend. Does a gas 1550 have a positive ground?

    To Paint or Not to Paint, That is the Question

    I think in an earlier post you said your deadline to finish was August 2024. How’d it turn out?

    Partial Preview Eastern Hart-Parr to White Show

    There was a dynamometer on site at this show so I took my 77 over to see what I could find out. The operator of the dyno asked me if I wanted him to run the test until the tractor stalled. I didn’t think that was a good idea. So then he asked if I wanted to test it for peak horsepower. That...

    Happy 8-8 day

    Not a great photo but this was our gas 88, circa 1969. It was the work horse. Dad sold it in 1973 when he bought a new tractor to replace it.

    Happy 8-8 day

    Our 1953 88 Diesel from 1962, probably not long after my father bought it. It was like the Eveready Bunny. One of my favorite tractors. It stayed in the fleet until Dad had his auction in 2007.

    Thank you and You’re Welcome. The rollover plow owner brought it in hooked up to his Cockshutt 1850 before dropping it off in the row of implements.

    A few more photos from the show. 49 tractors out on the ball field spelling out “OLIVER”. Hope to post the aerial view sometime. I’m told some of the last words of the owner of this Hart-Parr to his brother was to get the tractor to this show. Kids pedal tractor pull Display for past...
