I actually drove an oliver like this one a whole summer back in 75 before becoming a fulltime truck driver,it had a badass screaming 2cycle detroit engine.
Very nice. That tractor is a work of art and runs as good as it looks. I have always loved the looks of that particular Oliver series. They are classics Thanks for sharing.
@CowboyPenner Yes, this tractor came from the factory with these wheels/tires. The rims still have the 1966 date code in them. The tractor also has industrial rear axles instead of the row crop type of axles to withstand the extra abuse from the big tires. The front end gear ratio is also different than a normal 4x4 tractor. Oliver was trying to compete with crawler tractors with this option where extra flotation and traction was needed.
What I find quite remarkable from today's point of view is, that this tractor pulls the sled without rolling coal, as other tractors or the turbo charged pickups do.
Thanks for posting this video. You guys were clearly just having fun with that pull, and it reminded me of the really old way they used to increase the weight gradually: people would line up and get on as the sled passed them! I've never seen that, but the older guys would decribe that process to me, before they got all quantitative about the weight adding mechanism. I hope you have many pleasant outings with that refined beast.
I love this song. And these tires really aren't too bad to work on, I change quite a few of those floater jobbies. But I don't know why you'd ever pay money for a goodyear tire. "Good for about a year," that's what I always say.
Indeed, but not as far ahead as Massey was with their invention of the 3-point hitch. I don't know the exact year that happened, but I do know it was shortly after WWII.
Russell Gleason This is a 1950... the 1950-T is an entirely different animal. It’s actually the 1950s replacement for the years you gave. The 1950 was produced from 1964 until 1967.
We tried to lower the tire pressure, but the tires slip on the rim under a hard pull. Lower pressure on flotation tires is ok on anything that does not pull anything, but itself.
@EFSforkliftguy It does not have the 1000lb wheel weights, but our industrial 1950 does. I am not sure what the tractor weighs, the pull was just for fun they did not have scales there. I think I pulled on the high side of second gear. You can here me go to the high side of second gear after about the first ten ft.
@RUMELYTRACTOR I have one of these in a Industrial version, same axles as you were saying, just finished restoring it, back to oliver colors, one thing with the gear ratio's they can really book it down the road, took grain to the elivators this fall with it about 12-14 miles down the road, my uncle headed with a wagon and left about 8 minuts ahead of me with a massey 1135, i caught up to him just as he was pulling in to the elivators
@RUMELYTRACTOR Low pressure apps like that if the tires slip on the rim, often sheet metal screws are used that are special just for the purpose. I think there are also some rim locks that may work.

Those tires were available in the mid 1960's? We had barely begun to use duals
Im sure im not the only multiple cummins owners that truly has respect for some of those jimmys

saw this tractor at the ohio valley antique machinery show its very impressive in person
That is one sweet tractor!
That was a clean pull through, she didn't even break a sweat. didn't hear exhaust tone change.
lol looks like a garden tractor pull sled. No wonder that thing took it to the end
words cant describe how cool this tractor is!! very nice tractor my friend!
The good old 453 detroit diesel!!!!!
We usually go to Portland every year, but have never displayed a tractor there.

When your 50% noise, 30% tires, and 20% tractor.

Those Oliver 1950T Front Wheel Assist (1967-1969) were ahead of their time.

I saw one of these tractors when I was a kid at the North Iowa fair in Mason City ~1966. It had wheels just like this.
Aaaha! Detroit! Love the look of that thing too. Right on. =]
the best thing about it is the nose of the tractor points to the sky, it just makes it look mean
3 questions, does it have the 1000lb inner wheel weights, what does it way, and what gear were you in?
Its pretty self explained :P You nailed it :) Thats the way most 4x4 tractors work :)
@19mg94
Rear Wheel:
66 X 43.00 - 25 tire size GOODYEAR
Front Wheel:
48 X 25.00 - 20 tire size
I pogged when I saw how short it was
That Detroit sounds like it's barely working!
Shes berly grunting lil sled 4 the tractor pulling
That,s a sharp looking rig..Guessing it,s got the 8v71under the hood...Hard to beat those 71series Detroit,s when they are tuned just right...
It's a 4-53
@@andrewking4885thanks Andrew 53 power everyday for me 💪👍🇦🇺
Ohio valley antique machinery show. One of the best around.
"Where do you want me to put it?"

Beautiful all the way around. Wasn't even pulling hard.
throw a john deere on that sled for weight!awesome tractor!
Good use for a JD @ a pull
Maybe have a couple of JD's pullin' the other direction to give it a workout

Sweet machine!
Nice pull! But get that muffler off there and lets really hear her scream =)
DETROIT POWER!
and we did it again. 1950 Oliver Detroit Diesel Tractor pull El Toro Full Pull #2
Those 2 stroke diesel engines howled but they were powerful
They turned diesel fuel into power and noise. Remember that was a small engine, a 4 cyl 212 cubic engine.
Cool tractor! !
Too cool!
I like this sled so I'ma take it home with me. 🥰
THAT'S HOW ITS DONE
sweet tractor
Love it
Very good (Nice)
That thing is HARD ASS!!!!!!!
You won the announcer said, driver says huh?? Say it louder! Never mind
Those are factory tires. They were an option for getting more of the Jimmy's power to the ground.
More weight! Detroit Diesel no sweat.
Never in any strain could have doubled the weight.
That's in Georgetown Ohio I believe
Sweet!
@weedissafer ya i know my mom works at firstone if i had the tire size i could tell you probly what they would cost
@mutantroosta
$30,000.00 total
@1withoutpain ummm those tires were on tractors before monster trucks
The tires cost $30,000.00 new
hell yeah
how do you use 2 different size tires on a 4x4? do you have to put a longer ratio in the front to compensate for the smaller tires?
Incrível, ele não toma conhecimento do peso não!!!
Motor e pneu não faltou kkkkk . Este é o pai do cbt
gear reduction and weight placement are key
cool oliver ....do you guys ever go to portland IN. show?
need to let some air outta them tho, would ride smooth and get more traction
The El Toro 1950 is fairly rare....
effortless puller! why didn't he throttle down right before disengaging clutch?
Why didn't he turn around and take it back?
Maybe too much air in the rear tires?
i wonder how much those tires cost......
4-53T
It could have pulled 3 of them
I think they need a bigger sled or more people to jump on it....
TRATOR CBT B R A Z I L 70´S
theres no weight on it the tires don't even show tension
🖒🖒🖒🖒
needs a heavyer sled that tractor wasnt even working
MAN SHE'S A BEEUTEE!!
Ohh, I should stop now?
CAN YOU HEAR ME NOW?
what sled.
i think it needs bigger tires.....hahahaha joking
hillbilly public transportation
Well, that was a waste of time, watching a big tractor pull a toy sled!!
