My dad bought this Oliver 1600 with a seized up transmission. We move it and then see if it will run.

Nice collection. "Wes gazed longingly at the tractor. Reaching out slowly with a single quivering hand he caressed the heaving case he knew he was about to undo and lay bare. In his other hand, he had a firm grip on a large throbbing 9/16 wrench; the biggest, stiffest wrench the tractor had ever seen, there would be no protest..." 😁

I have a winch on my gooseneck trailer, it is strong enough to pull a dead tractor up the ramps, it has been a savior many times. At the end of the video, your Dad was able to get the tractor to roll by shifting the transmission collars, that will make moving the tractor a lot easier in the future.

Back in 2012 I bought a ih 706 gas that didn't run at consignment auction. I hauled it home on the same type of trailer and truck setup you have, except mine had a 460. Still have the tractor and truck. Tractor needed a piston and the head gone through. I pulled the air filter out and it was stamped 1986, so I cleaned it and put it back in to this day. Tractor and truck still run good! Fun times

Good on your dad for staying active. My neighbor who I believe is 80 now tried to retire 8 years ago. He just couldn’t stand staying home so he went back to antique shopping and helping people move their stuff. I myself will keep driving till they pry my cold dead hands from the steering wheel. Joking aside I will stop if and when I feel it’s unsafe, at some point we all should give up driving.
