1850-1900 shift pattern plate

[mogman]

It appears my 1850 has the same shift pattern as my 1950, but I cannot find a plate anywhere, there are many out there just none are correct.
so I am looking for one, both reverses (high and low range) are over right and up, 6th is down (high range) right and down.
One guy has a decal for $10 but I would like a plate.

Did the 50 series use a plate? My 1600 has one, but the 1550 and 1850 have decals. Maybe check an 1800?

I believe those were all decals. Maybe check with oliverdecals.com because they also do reproduction serial plates, maybe they could do a custom shifter plate. I don't know.

Now I think about it, the plate on the 1600 isn't even up on the dash. It's on the lower cowl by the steering wheel tilt pedal.

My 1900 has a plate, (so there should be one) it's down below the console next to the data plate, like I can read it that far away, well I had no trouble reading it 25 years ago when I got it.

Ya, that's why I'm wondering of only the XX00 series were the only ones with a plate and 50 series all used a decal. You'd think Maibach or Smitty would have one, but you might have to go and walk an Oliver boneyard and find one yourself.

I wish there was one within a bazillion miles from me used to be a guy up near Hobson TX but I lost touch with him.

I am sure I have one on an 1800 which is the same pattern as far as I know. Problem is I am in Ontario Canada so probaly not worth the shipping cost? I suppose I could try mailing it to you if you want to pay the postage? I will take a look in the boneyard tommorow and see what I have first and post a pic.

Sounds good, let me know.

I believe rrlund is correct in that the plates ended with the 00 series. I checked a bunch of 50 series tractors I have including 2 1850's and all have the sticker,so really the correct thing for you to do would be to put the sticker on? The one I have in the boneyard isnt in that great of shape as you can see, but if you want it pm me your address, and I will take it off and mail it to you.

Something else to think about, if it has a tach and a speedometer, there's no place to attach the plate on the white part of the dash. Where the decal goes, the lower dash is curved, so the plate wouldn't make the curve to attach to it there.
