Oliver setting

The overall scene is kind of nice.

Not sure the one on the right is set up quite right.

A his and hers day, neat pic for sure!

Is there a slight curve in the field there, both tractors have their front wheels cocked a little odd for plowing straight.

Well around here in my area All Oliver doing field work had nose weight . due to our hills and ground condition . Now not being the local Oliver GURU but did have two customers who owned Olivers and DID at times go and help and OLD Oliver dealer out when they got swamped and have run Olivers in the fields along with ALMOST buying a NEW 1755 and four bottom plows and running the same for three days on DEMO i got to know them little bit and the 1755 i ran on Demo even with six ft slabs was a WEEE bit light on the ft. with four bottoms and had her standing up more then once . Something ya got use to in my area . Ya never got excited till you were looking down the exhaust pipe . My old 450 D was ft end heavy and had five hundred on the nose and with 4x14 540 I H four bottoms on the hills she would still stand up , ya got use to it . Later on on a new rented farm that layed much flatter the first year of plowing now with a 706 and more pony power and I H 710 4x16's even with 1500 lbs on the nose one field i turned the ft end was anywhere from a foot to three feet off the ground going down hill . So on this picture they must have been in some super light soil that i have never found in my area .

Can’t see much from still photo to make much out.
Front wheel turning to the right , maybe operator looking back ,

The 1650 on the left was a fresh motor transplant break in by the operator for his rider (FIL) this tractor was bought from Ed Welters some 40 years ago. The 1900 is driven by the mechanic’s MIL, but owned by the mechanic’s father.

The mechanic’s family received bad news about the father’s health and got him in the seat for some last rounds. 8 tractors total partook in the plowing. This is near my home place and in close proximity to three deep lakes where the soil is loamy and rich but not clay heavy unlike the clay gravel pit we farmed 2 miles away where the 2-70 danced with a Melroe 900 semi- mount that snapped faster than a Wally Pikal polka.

I agree with you, have to be there to see what's happening. Picture taken with different lens can make a big difference.

The plow in the center of the picture looks like it could be a pull type plow.

I thought both of those tractors were 1650s since they have the small frame fenders and the fender light inserts are white.

1900 has two intakes.

1900 has two intakes.

The tractor facing us has to be an 1850 with the Perkins diesel because the exhaust comes up on the right side. Waukesha engines exhaust comes up on the left.
