The G350 would look good with his Italian girls.

It was a pleasure to meet you as well. You guys did a great job with your tractors and put on a great show. There's no repair as dreadful as one on a restored tractor. Like putting a hydraulic pump in a purple 1850. 😂

I was really impressed. The local club really worked hard to put on a top notch show.

They really cleaned the barns out! It's not cheap to haul stuff these days, so I impressed and grateful they were able to do it.

Any time!

Too bad he's such a challenge to move to shows. He needs to get out more.

My wife has a friend that lives in the area and they were planning on getting together. Her son got married the weekend before and now everyone is coming down with covid from that. So they didn't get to meet up. The wife was pretty bummed out, but we don't need that slowing us down. Hope you feel better soon.

That's it! Guaranteed to only leak in the engine compartment. 😂

@@ThatOliverGuyChris 😂

Glad you enjoyed it!

I didn't get much of a chance to wander the flea market, but I did get some parts at the feature barn.

@ThatOliverGuyChris golf cart was a must for me I found weights that I needed and fenders, emblems and a few other items. And the golf cart was great to have as a pack mule. Do you think you will have time to join us in Lancaster ohio for the buckeye oliver club summer show the 18,19,20th of August

@@matthewdavis4081 that's when I'll be moving my daughter into her dorm room at college, so I won't be able to make it.

@@ThatOliverGuyChris I am sure we will cross paths one of these days.

That's incredible to me to have people watching all around the world. Thanks!

Lunch time in Ireland 🇮🇪

@@ThatOliverGuyChris Watching from Spain.

That comment was Ross bait. 😂

@@ThatOliverGuyChris 🤣🤣🤣

😂😂😂. Maybe I should go with PhD. Piled Higher and Deeper!

Thanks!

The 1850 had the fuel tank that went over the rear half of the engine, and they needed that for air filters on the T. Switching to the 1650 style dash gave them room for a fuel tank that went back to the dash, but it also took away a spot for a battery. That worked out because the 1650 dash has the brake pedals mounted on it, leaving room for the second battery under the right floor panel where the pedals used to be. The same was applied to the 2050 and 2150, for the same reasons.

Thanks Dave!

Awesome, thank you!

Thanks!

Thanks!

Glad you enjoyed it

Thank you for watching

Cool!

It has the whole stoplight collection in one tractor. Have you gotten the build card for it? Sounds like it has a story to tell.

Thanks!

I was talking about that with some locals. They have a huge tractor pull on Saturday and there are some large collections in the area, so we were both surprised that there weren't any there. I doubt many were sold in that area back in the day. Hills, row crops and small fields were the dominant features.

You bet

I don't know of any paint codes for the colors of the American series, other than meadow green of course. I know the wheels and other white parts are called New Idea Light Gray, and it does have just a tinge of gray in it. I think the dark gray was called New Idea Dark Gray or Coldwater Charcoal Gray. The silver was Argent Silver. I think these can all be bought through Agco, and their paint prices weren't too bad relatively speaking, for paint. Decals, I'm not sure. Try oliverdecals.com. If it isn't on the website, give them a call, Greg and Lisa are really helpful.

@@ThatOliverGuyChris Thanks for the info Chris, have a good day!

Thanks!

Thanks 👍

Glad you enjoyed it

I was talking with them right before that. I gave them each a Herman magnet. That sure is a sweetheart of a tractor.

They called that underslung axle the "short wheelbase adjustable wide front" The shorter wheelbase allowed for a tighter turning radius. It also made for rougher ride. It seems to be a love it or hate it option for Oliver Collectors.

@@ThatOliverGuyChris thank you. Late 70's my Father in law had a 1955 with the long wheel base, it was my favorite plowing tractor.

Awesome. Corn chopping videos are some of my favorites to watch on KZfaq.

The Oliver Specials are too. It's something different that other guys don't have.

They came from the factory with solid panels. There were issues with them running hot so Oliver sent out new sheet metal with perforations to help with cooling. I've only ever seen one tractor with an original non perforated side panel. There were also 2 versions of the perforated panels. One with holes only where needed, and another that was made entirely of perforated metal with solid panels behind to control air flow in the right spots.

Thanks

Thanks

I'm not up enough on Minnie Mo tractors to help you there. There's a KZfaq channel called Moline Dan, I bet he could help.

@@ThatOliverGuyChris He was my next step lol. Thanks.

This was the first time I had met him in person and it's like we've known each other for years.

I'm planning on going.

It's a long way to go, and gas ain't cheap. Glad to help out.

I'm surprised there so few crawlers. When I went in 2016 there were quite a few.

The single front wheel was popular with produce farmers. My guess would be less damage to the crops with a single wheel. The other advantage is produce gets harvested when it's ready, not when the field is ready. The dual narrow front likes to pick up mud in wet conditions. They offered a scraper to go in there, but a single front wouldn't have that pinch area to pick up so much in the first place.

An excellent show, and the weather turned out better than forecasted.

Thanks!

Someone else said that it was the Jet Star 3 Super. That's a mouthful. 😂 I'm not aware of any model that came between the G1355 and the 2-150.

The serial numbers fall in with everything else, sequential. On 4 digit models the spec number after the dash was a 6 for 2wd and 9 for FWA. The ring and pinion was usually different because the industrials typically used shorter tires. If they had revers-o-torq, then there was no reverse gear in the rear end. Typically no hydraulics or 3 point, no pto, a special front frame, heavy duty drawbar, reinforced axles, and lots of weights. It depends on the model on what was beefed up. The 1900 was built pretty tough and didn't get as many changes as a 1600. The basics are the same and they can be converted back to ag with enough parts and labor.

Thanks! 👍

Thanks

Thanks! I have a video of the owner explaining it. It's an interesting story. Look for it in the next couple days.

Cool!

Not that I saw.

The pageant of steam happens every year, but they feature a different brand each year. The Hart Parr Oliver Collectors Association has a summer show every year, but it moves around to a show that is featuring Oliver. Next year will be near Boonville, Missouri.

Do you know the serial number or any identifying features? It would be awesome if you could find his tractor.

@@ThatOliverGuyChris i don’t know the fag number but he had a 1365 and 1750 the 1750 had fuel tank fenders and a wide front and from the pictures I have it had a straight pipe and a planter console on the dash and a M&W turbo

I think they were the same machine, but I could be wrong.

The category 2- 3 hitch was an option for the 1955 from day one. My 1955 has the category 1-2. The 2-3 hitch with the external cylinders became available in 67 on the 50 series large frame tractors. They had to do some modifications to the casting to make a spot for the anchor pins for the leaf springs of the draft control system. Because of that, it can't be retrofit to earlier tractors.

Proof that you can have a great product, but without good management it can still fail.

There was one at this show in 2016. It had been repowered with a Cummins.

Yes. There was also a 550 Special, but I haven't found much info on those

@@ThatOliverGuyChris my boss has got a Oliver 550 special and it’s a piece of junk I like the 1365 better

It's weird how sometimes they go nuts on the price. All it takes is 2 bidders that don't want to lose.

@@ThatOliverGuyChris it should be a $5000 tractor but you never know, could sell between $3500-$8000

This was in upstate New York, USA

There was one that I saw.

An oversight on my part. The 770 and 880 are great tractors.

Thanks!

The man that does my soil testing is from Pakistan and his family still farms there. It's always interesting to hear how farming is done there compared to here.
