Great video!! The 1650 was one of Oliver’s best sellers. You’ll like those pioneer couplers, I use them on everything. The 8250 pioneers are what came on the 55 series new. That homemade sidehill hitch is neat! There was a factory one available but it’s neat to see the design your dad came up with. It doesn’t look obnoxious and You can’t even really see it unless you’re looking for it. Tractor looks great!
Thank you for your kind words. I'm getting to the point where most of my tractors now have the Pioneer couplers. I do like them. I liked the original Oliver screw on couplers, but it was time to let them go. (I DID keep them, though - I have several sets). Wish someone could repair them. I didn't know there was a factory hydraulic drawbar. Most people don't even notice mine is on the tractor. Thanks for watching and commenting.
The 1650 is a wonderful, very versatile, tractor. It used to be my tillage tractor, until 2017, when I bought the White 2-110, and it took over. I still use the 1650 to harrow and for lots of other jobs.
Thanks for the details on a great old tractor. Beginning in 1969 I spent 17+ years working with Oliver / White equipment at a dealership in central PA. Great little tractor with a smooth running engine. The hyd. hitch is a nice addition for PA hills. Many memories!
Glad it brought back memories for you! I know I have a lifetime of memories of running Olivers. Wouldn't trade it for anything. Thanks for watching and commenting.
They are good old tractors. Like you, I like to keep the old tractors and equipment running and I enjoy using them on the farm. Like going back in time. Thanks for watching and commenting Pete. Looking forward to later this Spring when you'll start posting videos again. Hope your recuperation continues to go well. Keep up with that PT and you'll be fine.
Thanks for sharing. That's a really nice Oliver and the hydro swing draw bar is an excellent ad on I cant remember how many times I've had to get off and pin the draw bar over just to move it back in in a few minutes you have a really nice tractor there
Yeah, my Dad welded up the first version of the hydraulic swing drawbar, and when my friend Joe restored the tractor, he re-engineered and improved it. It really is convenient, and I wish I had it on my other tractors. Thanks for viewing and commenting.
How ya doin PA Farmer. Good video again, you gotta love this old machinery. I grew up with the JD tractor line, as you said you grew up with the Oliver's. They were all good machinery. Actually, the Oliver plow was about the best plow money would buy. Good clearance and actually pulled easier than a IH or the JD. I commented after your 4400 video, but for some reason it didnt download. I said that I had bought a brand new 6600 combine for $32,000. Todays prices are ridiculous. I'm retired myself, but still play with a few acres. My old tractor is a JD 3010. It always brings back memories of the good old days. Take care my friend. Iowa Soybean Farmer.
HEY Iowa Soybean Farmer - Although I prefer Olivers, I DO enjoy all old tractors. Sometimes my neighbor farmer asks me to help him, and I'll be driving a 3020 or 4020, which is different for me. You're right about the Oliver plows - the Oliver and White plows were some of the easiest pulling plows ever made. I have a couple International plows - couldn't find any good used Oliver plows in our area. They don't pull as easily as the Olivers, but they are pretty good. Thanks for viewing my video and commenting. I enjoyed hearing from you.
@@AnglesideFarm Tractors become like a part of the family. I don't always feel that way about other machinery, but once I have a tractor for a while, getting rid of it would be like getting rid of a family member - lots of memories. I have an old Farmall C my dad bought new around 1949. He put a 4 inch piece of 2 x 4 on the clutch pedal so I could reach it when I was 5 and needed to be able to drive the tractor. That was 60 years ago, and that block of wood is still there - I don't have the heart to remove it.
@@pagrainfarmer that’s funny, my dad did the same thing, put a 2x4 on the clutch of the Farmall H for me. The tractor is long gone but not the memory. Sounds like we are about the same age too.
Thanks. It's certainly has been a workhorse - good, dependable old tractor. Easy to work on, unlike some of the newer tractors out there today. Thanks for viewing and commenting.
@@pagrainfarmer I think Oliver66FarmBoy on his last video was rebuilding and testing some type of hydraulic transmission like you have on this tractor. While it was very interesting watching what he was doing because he pays so much attention to detail I really didn't completely and totally understand it.
@@SoybeanFarmer3300 Yes - his tractor has the new "3 speed" hydraul shift. So, for each direct drive gear, he has both an "over" and an "under". Mine is a "2 speed" hydrapower unit, which is basically only an underdrive. They do share a lot in common, though. Both of our tractors have 6 forward gears, but his is like having 18 and mine is like having 12, if that makes any sense.
@@SoybeanFarmer3300 What's nice with both hydraul shift and hydrapower is you can switch from direct to "under" on mine or back (or over or under on his) without using the clutch, which makes for a smooth transition under load. The only drawback is that the tractor will freewheel down hill in the "under" position.
I bought mine in 2001. It's actually the later "Super Sheller" model. Got it from a guy who had gone to narrow rows and was going to scrap it. It wasn't used much - there was still green paint on a lot of the chains. Got it for $200. Was one of the best deals I ever made. I keep it as a back up. Probably will do a video on it eventually. Thanks for commenting.
Very nice 1650! We have our dads old 1650 also that he bought used in the early 80s. Ours has the high speed rear end. They are good runner, so smooth. Thanks for sharing
Yeah, they are very smooth runners. My neighbor, who is totally a John Deere guy, always remarks how smooth my Olivers sound from across the fence. Glad you got your Dad's. Thanks for commenting.
Looks like a good old 1650! we have one, been in the family since new! set up the same way as yours, except it is still a wide front, and the front pedestal has also been broken off before haha. Great video, Ill be looking forward to more videos! Great to have another Oliver guy on youtube!
Yeah it's been a good tractor for me over the years. I really enjoy it. I've been very happy to meet other people like you and me - Oliver enthusiasts. Thanks for watching, subscribing, and commenting. I appreciate it and hope to see you back. More Olivers to come.
That tractor sure looks nice! That's a cool way to move the drawbar, I've never seen anything like that. We used to have a an 1800 Oliver. Thanks for sharing.
Another viewer told me that there was a factory option for that kind of device too, but i had never heard of it. My Dad was just looking for a plausible way to move the drawbar so he could adjust a drag-type Oliver plow up the hill on a hillside. His original design was a little cruder - my friend Joe re-designed it and made it much better. Sure is handy. Thanks for watching and commenting. It only had 6 forward gears (no hydrapower, so I passed on it).
Great choice to put the wide front on. Nice back story on the tractor. Should think about beet juice for weight in the rear tires. Won’t corrode your rims. We used it in our 2017 T 4 New Holland to keep that smaller tractor tight to the ground when feeding round bales.
I had a 1650 diesel very good tractor also had a 1655, 285 white 1850 diesel 205 white 1955 Oliver good tractors for the day very good on fuel
Very cool!

Very nice machine! Our main square baling workhorse is a diesel 1650. Great little tractor.
Yes, the 1650 was one of Oliver's most popular and useful tractors. Thanks for watching and commenting.
that is one nice and clean 1650, i would like to add one to my lineup eventually, great channel neighbor

My son just bought a Oliver 1650 diesel wide front with a westendorp loader.
They sure are a nice tractor.
That's awesome! Hope you guys enjoy it.
@@pagrainfarmer I wish I could send you a picture of it, my grand daughter used it for her homecoming pictures.
Thanks Charlie
That's awesome! @@AnglesideFarm
That’s a nice 1650. We had a nf1650 back in the early 80’s. Wish I still had it.
It's a great old tractor and I really enjoy running it. Thanks for the kind words and for viewing and commenting.

Hello I've got a 1750 Cockshutt with 4000 hrs love it three speed hydro shift Trans
1750’s are definitely good tractors. Wouldn’t mind having one myself.
That tractor sure looks nice! That's a cool way to move the drawbar, I've never seen anything like that. We used to have a an 1800 Oliver. Thanks for sharing.

Sorry, in my previous comment about the 6 forward gears, I was referring to an Oliver 1800 which I almost bought one time.

I've heard of that - probably should make the switch.
I lost my dad 35 years ago also and been farming since
Nice tractor I also used a 2 row sheller new idea.
They are a good machine. I really like mine and keep it as back up to my combine - just in case. Thanks for watching and commenting.
very nice tractor I bought a late model 1650 last year its a diesel with over under 3700 origional hours
Congratulations! That's quite a find. Won't see many like that around. Thank you for supporting my channel.
I have my neighbor’s 1969 1650, that he bought brand new. I’m the second owner.
1650's are awesome tractors, don't you think? I know I love ours.
What part of western Pennsylvania?
I hope you understand that i'm trying to keep my identity and exact location private. Let's say I'm in the general Pittsburgh area.
@pagrainfarmer no problem.i myself am sw pa and was just curious.
