Oliver identification

[A . M. Aitkins]

Hello all, I have an Oliver 88 or super 88 diesel that I'm trying to identify.

I thought it was an Oliver 88 but what's really throwing me off is the tub frame appears to be an Oliver super 88 frame. is there any other easily identifiable features that would help tell the model? Thanks for any help

The frame might have been replaced at some point. The Fleetline frames have been known to crack.

What does the nameplate say? If the nameplate is on the right side of the transmission case, that would make it an early Fleetline. If the nameplate is on the lower part of the dash mount, it will have a model and serial number. And measure the axle diameter…if it is 2-3/4”, it is a Fleetline 88. The supers were 2-7/8”.

I think I see a roosa master pump too. That engine is probably later. What are the numbers on the engine?

The name plate is on the dash I will have to check the axles tomorrow. I do not know what the numbers on the plate are off hand. I will get them tomorrow. thanks

Do you mean the casting number or serial number? I will try to get both tomorrow. I will also get some more pictures to. Thanks

Yes, all the casting numbers. Also the Oliver serial number tag. Also, it looks like someone converted it to a glass fuel filter. That's a Super 88 grill too. Yes, more pictures will make this more fun.

How can you tell the difference between a Super grill and a Fleetline grill?

The super 88 grill pops out a little at the bottom sides.
