Oliver 20 Information

[Hendersky]

Hello everyone,

Years ago I recieved an Oliver 20 from my grandfather that he bought out of the states even longer ago. I'm having some real trouble finding information about this tractor. First thing I did was check the tractor data, but it only said it was 20 horsepower, that's it! Of course I know that Cockshutts & Oliver's are functionally the same tractors, just painted different colours, but this looks nothing like our cockshutt 20 both in terms of dimensions & engine. Any help is appreciated, thank you!

Cockshutt had their own tractors, as did Oliver. The merger didn't happen until the 60s. I've never heard of an Oliver 20, so post a picture of what you have.

Cockshutt rebranded Oliver tractors for sale in Canada before they started building their own after WWII.

I'm not sure how to post pictures on this forum, as I'm relatively new. I can email them to you if that also works.[/img:7b3a49eb12]

I sent the picture over, let me know if you need anymore of anything

Let's see if this works. You have any better photos? Side angle? Serial number?

It looks like a custom garden tractor to me.

I couldn't find a serial number, although the engine looks like a standard Briggs & Stratton painted green. I'll try and grab some further pictures next time I'm up at the shed

Yep, my money is on a custom garden tractor.

There was a home made one in the last Hart Parr Oliver Collector with the Fleetline style grill. They called that one a Super 22.

Here are the other two:

That's an Economy PowerKing with Oliver
sheetmetal adapted to it.

Well that's good to know. I thought that front end looked a bit out of place, but I was really suspicious when the "Oliver 20" marking was just vynil lettering. Thanks for the information

Yes actually its an Economy Jim Dandy with Oliver sheet metal could be a nice looking custom tractor
