Oliver oneway disc

[Wyatt-The-Ih-Guy]

I have this Oliver one way disc that from what I
know is really rare. I have seen no pictures of these
but have seen different brands but same style and
everything. When I was playing around with mine I
noticed some yellow paint under the green. Can
someone please help me identify this disc. The
pictures below are similar ones to mine, mine is the
green one, at first I was going to scrap it thinking it
couldn?t possibly be anything but it didn?t feel right.
You can also see the "E" infront of the Oliver logo.
And yes, for any of you wondering a pulled that
beast with a ford 8?n, the frame is solid steal and it
is actually really heavy, lots of people told me it
would never come out of the bushes. On last picture
pay attention to the hitch, you can see the yellow
that had shown as I had accidentally scratched the
green paint.

I no Nothing about it.

What you refer to as an "E" is just three horizontal bars that are just a part of the logo name, before and after the =Oliver=

 

[Wyatt-The-Ih-Guy]

Ok thank you I?m not familiar with Oliver equipment or even the logo for that matter. I have found no pictures at all online no brochures no nothing they isn?t even a serial number on it or a ID tag. Like how could there be nothing online about it.

I hope you don?t scrap it

 

[Wyatt-The-Ih-Guy]

I won?t scrap it, that was the original plan though as we had no use for it. But I had a change of heart as this may be the last Oliver one out there, you never know. So I?m keeping it, might do a restoration on it and put it and put it in the field again or have it as a really big cool piece of yard art, but I don?t really know, I?ve scratched taking it to the scrap yard, I really couldn?t even do it Cause the frame is solid steal so I couldn?t cut it. Shows you how much effort they actually put into those days building these.

Those old implements were built to last. I would get it working and use it . Probably just needs grease and a couple tires. It very well could be one of the last ones In existence it?s to bad most of the old implements Have been scraped

 

[Wyatt-The-Ih-Guy]

Well it has sat for 20 years in the same spot, it was actually on the neighbours field so I thought I should probably move it before the new neighbours got confused into thinking it was theirs. So one day me and the good old 8?n went out there, the tires were flat. So I backed the 8?n up and A bit of hopping up and down and it was free. The bolts going into the spindal have stripped heads I am going to try to make something to clamp down and pull them out. Surprisingly the tires held air for a bit but I completely blew one up. It is probably the last one in existence now, i thought I might as well share is with everyone as one day nobody will remember these. And I plan on keeping it, i am planning on doing some work just to make it useable probably in the next few years when I have time. The gangs are actually really interesting, the shaft is square at the ends but round on the inside, one spacer on each gang and a drain bolt where you pour oil in and that?s how it lubricates everything inside. It?s a part of history that shouldn?t be forgotten.

I don't know who built them but I have two. One green with Oliver decals and a orange one with Case decals. I would guess the yellow one with red wheels in your picture was branded Moline. I've seen several down here mostly Case. Where are you located. Tony

 

[Wyatt-The-Ih-Guy]

I?m in Manitoba Canada, do u think that you could put a picture of yours on here.

 

[SVcummins]

That?s interesting can you post pictures of the gangs and oiling system

Oliver used outside vendors on some of that short run specialty stuff like that. Sherry does articles on such things from time to time in Oliver Heritage magazine,but I don't recall one on those. She probably has some info in her stuff though. You can contact her through her website oliverheritage dot com.

I've got a Case version of what looks to be very similar.

It used to be not uncommon to see the old yellow Schafer plows around the high plains area of Texas/Oklahoma. Usually, they were pulled up in a fence row in disuse - while there would be rows of newer/bigger Krause one-ways that tended to be in use.

Of course, these days - very few people use them. I last used my Krause's a few years ago. They sure can skim the ground shallow and really clean it up - but out here, it leaves it so clean it will blow.

I haven't ever pulled a Schafer.



I haven't ever seen an Oliver version - but Oliver was historically not very common around my area. I saw another Case version sell at a sale just a few months ago.

Here is a link with a little bit about the company:

Thank you guys for all the info I send some pics to oliver heritage magazine and it turns out to be pre 1958 and now they want to do a story on it so I guess I?m going to keep it. I?m considering fabricating a new crank, and possibly doing a restoration. But only time will tell, thanks for the information.

Please google Angel One Way Disc Plow for a bit more info about the origin of that style of implement.

He was a distant cousin of my father.

Never saw anything like it. Were they used as a disk turning plow or as a clod breaking disk, kinda a half an offset disk???? I would like a 10 ft Off Set, they are aggressive!

They turn the dirt Like a plow at the depth of a disk

Can you explain why schaffer one ways have a hydrlic cylinder because the handle you turn lifts or lowers the blades so why. A. Hydrlic cylinder

Hand crank was designed as a depth stop so that when hyd cylinder was used to raise/lower disk the crank assured that disk lowered to same depth every time disks were cycled up/down. At least that is the method that JD disk tillers that I'm acquainted with operated.
