    Grandpa's Oliver 66

    POST CORRECTION: My uncle bought that tractor in about 1952 not my grandfather. OLIVER is in white on the left side and ROW CROP is in white on the right side not red. Hopefully I remember to take my camera to the farm next time I go.

    Thanks for that. It would be nice to know how many screws are holding the plate and what type of screw they are. They appeared to a hex head or allen key type but the implement shed was a bit dark and I had no lighting. I found this photo of someone holding a distributor and it would appear...

    I was changing the points yesterday and backed off the screw hold the points in place within seconds I noticed that screw missing after moving the wires to remove the points. There is one hole which appears big enough for that screw to fall under the plate. I removed the "c" clip which U...
