Build Cards

[89 MJ]

Has anyone else gotten the Build Card for their Oliver from the Floyd County Museum in Iowa? I just got mine for my 550 and will do it for my other Olivers in the future too. It is neat to see the build date, ship date, selling location, and how the tractor left the factory.

I did mine. According to the build card my tractor had some modifications on it after it left the factory. The position of the pto clutch lever was moved from back to front.

 

[JOCCO]

No but did get one for a Case DC.

I would really like one for my VAC Case as it was built sometime in mid 1951, just like I was. But those records were burned up in a fire.

Visited the museum a couple of weeks ago. A lot of interesting items and some mundane. Got build cards on our 1650 and 1750, next time it will be for the S88.

I would like to go check the museum out at some point. I've never had the time when I've been around there in IA though.

Yes I got mine there

I got them for mine too. If it says specifically what dealer it was sent to I then have a dealer sticker made by Maple Hunter Decals Texas LLC.

I wish they had started the build cards with the Fleetlines so that I would know which dealer(s) mine were from originally.

All of my Olivers have build cards except my 77. It is a great service.

The build cards started with the computerization of the assembly process in 1954. The Floyd county Museum also has a huge archive of literature and manuals for anything under the White umbrella. They can even find drawings for most parts on our tractors and some implements. Give them a call with what you are looking for, they may have it.
