Mechanical Lift

[JohnRowehl]

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. I would also guess that the hydraulic setup was much more common by that time.

The 770 and 880 parts book shows it. I have to say, I've never seen either one with it. I have to think there might be more 660s with it than 770 or 880s. By that time, I'd think there's be more 660s designated as cultivating tractors in vegetable operations and what not, or sold to a small farm that didn't have the money for a lot of bells and whistles.
