    Plow Day-May 2-Keystone Oliver Club

    I’m a little late getting this up but then again it isn’t like it’s breaking news🙂 We had 15 people plowing, eight using Oliver plows. Forty acres plowed.

    Oliver 546 Plow-Years of Production

    I have this model plow that I bought used. I want to make a show display sign for it and would like to list the years this model was made. Based on past posts on discussion forums, I understand it was made beginning in the early 70's and continued for some time after White branding, the color...

    Keystone Oliver Collectors Plow Day

    Beautiful day. We only had 12 acres to work with so we limited participation to club members. Five of us made it.

    Ford 150 Plow-Oliver/White Equivalent?

    I saw this Ford plow and noticed some similarities to Oliver plow design. I know Oliver built plows for Ford at one time. I believe Oliver or White had a variable width plow. But don’t know if it was made like this one. I was wondering if there was an Oliver plow model that was made with the...

    RC 88 With Wheatland Shields

    Old Time Plow Boys Club had this at the Classic Indoor Tractor Show in Lebanon, PA this weekend. I had this in a post a while back. Found out since then that the tractor was originally used somewhere in Canada and then to the next owner in Wisconsin before making its way to Pennsylvania. Took a...

    Keystone Oliver Club Plow Day

    Took place this past Saturday. I didn’t bring my Oliver 77 but I did use my Oliver 546 plow behind my Farmall 826. We had 17 people plowing and by the end of the day, 60 acres were plowed. Of the 17 tractors, there were 8 Oliver plows being used with them. I don’t have great pictures to post...

    Unusual Sheet Metal On An 88

    This picture was sent to me recently. Though I don’t know the whole history of the tractor, it shows some sheet metal around the operator platform that I have not seen before. It reminds of what you might see on a wheatland Farmall. I suspect it is a homemade piece. I don’t know what else...

    Olivers at Threshermans’ Reunion at Kinzers, PA

    A few photos from the show at Rough & Tumble. The HP 28-50 was running one of the threshers later on.

    Serial Number On Tractor Display Signs

    Why is it that you often see the serial number of a tractor on the small signs they attach to the sides of the tractor at shows or in parades? Might it have to do with a requirement for judging?

    Chain Rating

    This is some old tow chain I got when I cleaned out the barns after my father passed away. I was curious about the markings on it and if it was from an old rating system; specifically the “M” and I., N., R.

    Mechanical Lift

    This question just popped up in my mind today as I was thinking of work I did on my 77. When did Oliver stop offering the mechanical lift? I am going to guess it was still an option through the three digit series since they still had the holes in the frame to accommodate the cultivator pipes...

    A Terminology Question

    Is this my “plow” or my “plows”?

    550 3 pt hitch

    Did all 550s come with a three point hitch or was it an option that ended up being on most of them?

    Overachiever

    Was at a plow day on Saturday. I saw this tractor and plow. Kinda thought it belonged to the host so I asked him, “Is that your 1850?”. “It’s a 1550” he replied. (I suppose I should have been able to tell, besides just a quick look at a rusty model spear) When I said I was surprised to see that...

    Oliver Plow Bottoms

    Is there any difference between the 419 and 619 moldboards? I have always seen them listed side by side in catalogs and considered them interchangeable. I needed one new moldboard and ordered one from a supplier that was listed in a catalog as R619-16, series 419, 619. The one I received was...

    Cutting off plow share ends

    I’m working on fixing up an Oliver plow I bought last year. Looks like the previous owner cut off the end of the share. A friend of mine who was my plow guru and recently passed away, had told me that that “tail wing”, for lack of a better term, was mainly for cutting alfalfa roots more...

    Oliver Dealer Stickers/Decals

    Does anyone have any photos of actual dealer stickers they’d like to share? There is a thread on a discussion forum of a different color showing them that I have found interesting. I wish I had one to put up to start this off but I don’t.

    What Is An Original Tractor?

    A recent issue of a collector magazine I get had a feature of a show where awards were given for ; Peoples’ Choice, Best Restoration and Best Original. (Nothing new, right?) Now it seems there is a general consensus that repainting a tractor leaves it as no longer original. My question is; what...
