Oliver 77 vs super 77 frame weight

[tmg52farm]

I am looking to build an antique puller and I want it to be an Oliver. I know the front tub is different from a 77 to a super 77. Which one is lighter? what about a whole rolling chassis? is the rear end any different?

Older is lighter. But Dave Hansen makes a
tube frame that is really light. So a old
77 and his frame with a 66 front end and
trailer hubs. 3500 with moveable weight.

Our 1950 Oliver 77 can make 3500# class with 13.6 x 38 tires, no aluminum, no PTO, no hydraulics, with wheelie bars,
weight brackets, with factory fenders, pressed steel wheels front and back etc. In general, the older the tractor
the lighter the weight.

I'd like to see the tube frame. Any pictures or way to contact Dave?

I have his no. Tx. Me 618 599 8041 or call and I'll give you his no.

I'd like to see a tube frame tractor , does it qualify as antique or is it a new tractor ? our rules say it has to be real tractor but it could qualify as a modified with a tractor rear end . v8 and all the goodies if it's a modified .

It's just the tub. Some make a aluminium tub casting. For their Oliver. But I don't know where to get one. How else can a 880 Oliver get in the 3500 lb. Class.
