That'd be hilarious if it wasn't so scary.
 
Tractor data shows earliest model is 60. Next up is a 66. So - guessing whomever made it decided to call it half of a 66 model. The trans looks a little like a Cub without the frame rails. I don't know the engine type, maybe a Wisconsin, or Tecumseh?

Cool little device. Clean it up, make it run and advertise right here.
Looks like a Kohler engine. Maybe a K 301...
 
At any rate that's a neat little tractor. I've seen JDs and others done up like that but this is the first Oliver that I've seen.
Here's one I built several years ago

That's a cool machine. That looks like it's based off of a wheel horse frame. It was the Wheel Horse HST transmission set up from a Wheel horse "automatic", and a Wheel Horse set up Kohler K series engines. You can tell by the oil pan, and the crankshaft pulley.
 
You can probably ask $500 for it. There is no real "market value" for stuff like that, but it has the cool factor, the K series engine. Where are you located? I'd buy it if you were near me.
 
Have you seen the Little Tractor Co.? Very cool stuff!



No, not that I can recall, maybe I have seen he tractors featured in some of the Oliver publications, I don't recall either. Thanks for that link. Looks like they haven't done anything in a couple years.
 
While it's definitely your (or your father's) call, I don't think you'll get nearly as much money out of it as the intrinsic/sentimental value of keeping it around - as long as you have a place to store it. Being a home-brewed unit (that someone's done a tidy job on) makes it very unique, but also not really collectible nor overly valuable. I think the $500 - $1000 other posters here have suggested is about as good as you'd do.

That's not pocket change, and maybe you don't have a place to store it/would rather have the money/don't have much attachment to it. But knowing you're not going to get a whopping amount for it, I'd be inclined to throw some stabilizer in the tank and keep it around. The kids/grandkids would have the coolest ride in town. And it would get them started into the fun (albeit somewhat nutty) habit of collecting old iron, thereby ensuring future generations are around to continue the YT legacy.

AI is delusional. it will do whatever it can to get you an answer. right or wrong. everyone is pushing AI at work but there are some things it just cannot do. it can help, like proof reading things but cannot do everything everyone thinks it can. Garbage in/garbage out.

You're looking at one little sliver of AI. I've watched it design parts and goods in a few minutes in what would taken a human design team and engineers probably a month. Now this isn't your web-based free AI question and answer stuff that most on this forum are used to, but a paid AI software platform. The tech out there is amazing.
