3 Oliver pullers

[tom upton]

Finished up the pulling season last night in Orrilla, night before at Bobcaygeon. Both great nights for a tractor pull. Feel kinda down that I have to put them away for the winter shortly. A fellow came up to me last night and asked what makes old Olivers such good pullers? I said simple they were the best tractor ever built!

Interesting front axle on the 88 RC.

Its partly 66 . I wanted to have a wide front on it v/s the more common narrow , but wanted to keep it as light as possible so fabbed it up using the 66 outer ends and tierods. Made the pipe axle as light as I dared then got scared it might bend if it came down hard so added the gusset under it that worked out well for a custom made wishbone to tie into it. Actually came out about 10 pounds lighter than a 66 narrow front. Turned out right around 4000 pounds anyway which is good as most classes I pull in are 4500.

1855 sitting there waiting for a turbo. Up here 4 digit Cockshutts are much more common than the green ones. Guess thats why I would rather have green ones?

My red White 2270 came out of Canada along with a parts tractor of the same model. Owner wanted his 2270 to go to someone who would use it and not let it be parted out. Still running it today.
