Some people have nothing better to do than criticize others who have a life. I think is just great that some one has taken the time to share with others!
That was a heartwarming video. I learned to drive on a Cockshutt 60 Row Crop (an Oliver 60 Row Crop in red and yellow paint) on rubber tires. Our owner's manual showed an Oliver 60 Row Crop on Tip Toe steel wheels like your Dad's 70 here. Thanks for a wonderful video and memories. :)
Hey guys beautiful tractor take 2 parts diesel fuel and 1 part thin motor oil put in pump sprayer and spray down your tractor it will stop thrust from going any further to help protect for year to come.thats one beautiful peace of HISTORY you have sincerely Allan biggs
Now that's a helluva lawn aerator ! That would be somethin' to drive on a hard surface. Along those lines, I'm wondering if this can be equipped with rubber tires ?
The purpose of this tractor was cultivating corn and other crops planted in rows. It could do other general farm jobs too, like plowing, planting and harvesting as well as power machines off a belt pulley.
Don't let a woman anywhere near a video project.All you will get is "yays" and "ways" like it's their daughter playing soccer. And cuts away to a frigging daisy!
+Graham Bentley kinda disagree the old lady did a fine job rocking the pulling tractor and the daughter doing the video did jus fine :) love from canada!
i think it is funny sarcasm alot of people emailed me telling me they it thought it was funny as hell, only the idiots that take thing too serous dont like it
Something is seriously wrong when you have to drag the tractor all over to get it started! Do it right, man, and it will fire up with just a couple turns of the hand crank or a couple rounds with the starter. Somebody didn't do their job!!
Cougracer67 Sounds like you haven't done much with old tractors, if you think that. It is possible that a guy would have to tow a fully rebuilt motor for the first start even with a starter fitted, if compression's a bit low until rings bed in or if tolerances are a thou on the tight side as can happen sometimes. sometimes a tow will also save a lot of cranking with a tractor that's sat a few years or 30 like this one and compression's low because of it. if it's new to a guy and your not sure about settings and stuff to get it running a tow can save a lot of turns by hand also. I sort this old stuff for my work and hobby I have plenty of experience getting some of these old tractors running after being found in a barn, they get a service or rebuild depending on condition. some of them are just plain ignorant to crank by hand, or with a starter but fire up in a few feet or so with a tow the first time and there is nothing wrong with doing it sometimes. I bet this one probably started the next time with out a tow to.
super6954 I grew up on a farm surrounded by old tractors and recently retired from 40+ years as a mechanic. I still say pulling a tractor to start it is a shortcut to proper workmanship or because of not replacing/repairing needed parts, or just getting in a hurry to hear it run. If a rebuilt engine is too tight to crank by hand or with the starter, it's just a sloppy/cheap rebuild. There's no excuse for not having the right clearances. And if "compression's a bit low until the rings bed in", again, something is wrong with the parts or workmanship. If some 30W oil on top of the pistons won't bring the compression up enough to start, something else is wrong. If a tractor was parked 30-40 years ago because it was so worn out it could hardly pull itself, yeah, then you may have to pull it all over the yard to get it to run. But why bother? Fix it! I recently inherited a B John Deere and a 9N Ford. The B hasn't run in over 35 years and 9N for at least 15. If I can't fire them up with the starter, I will consider myself a failure (although the B may be rusted tight; it sat outside for quite a few years). It may have to come apart. Either way, I can't see the need to resort to pulling it.
Cougracer67 We both have experience that is totally different for our years. I guess we are so far apart on ideas with what we have seen around or experienced, it's not worth discussing them further here. i hope you enjoy your retirement after 40+ years, you earned it turning wrenches. Good luck with your tractor projects. if you have time it would be nice to see video's up here of progress. I still got to work probably another 25 years. Sadly I don't have time with on farm/shop repairs , to film work during the day in my business, or on the farm either now my dads also retiring and not doing so much round here .
super6954 OK, guess I was a little harsh! I guess it's just a thing I have; I view myself as a failure if an engine I overhauled or worked on or tried to revive didn't start with the crank or starter. Just me, I guess. I was taught in childhood by an uncle who was a fanatic for doing the job right; no shortcuts. My dad, like most farmers, was a patch-and-run kind of guy, "get it running and out in field now!". Uncle wasn't that concerned about the speed of repair. Now, a pulling to start story: In the mid-70's, one day I found Dad and his brother (a different uncle) trying to start a '68 F250. It had sat for about 3 years and the battery of course was completely dead. Everything they owned up to that point was generator equipped and they had pull started them lots of times with dead batteries. Not a pop out of this Ford, and they had literally pulled it for miles. I got a set of jumper cables and it fired up immediately! They didn't know that alternators need a shot of 12 v. before they will charge, unlike a generator. So, one point for my team!
Cougracer67 No problem, I'm a bit of a perfectionist, and where it needs to be it's done right for modern working stuff it is 100% . The old iron that guys spend more than it's worth restoring, sometimes a compromise has to be made. You will learn that with your old tractors when you start getting the bills in for parts and machine shop time, if you need it. even with sentimental value you got to be realistic sometimes and 90% will do. I have found a few we towed after rebuild only went the shop length or less than 10ft and was fine after or just needed fine tuning of timing after it had run you could tell it was just a hair off listening to it. . the older towed stuff went a little further after standing years. most ran fine after that and started as they should. If not it was rebuilt if costs allowed or it was scrapped if it wasn't rare, to help other guys out. Regards Robert
Man, that brings back memories!
Its great seeing that old tractor moving under its own power after so many years of sitting idle.. Thanks for the video..
Some people have nothing better to do than criticize others who have a life. I think is just great that some one has taken the time to share with others!
Hermoso, toda la familia reviviendo esa joya. Gracias por compartir. Abrazo desde Argentina!!!
good to see an old tractor running again after all this time. 😉
That was a heartwarming video. I learned to drive on a Cockshutt 60 Row Crop (an Oliver 60 Row Crop in red and yellow paint) on rubber tires. Our owner's manual showed an Oliver 60 Row Crop on Tip Toe steel wheels like your Dad's 70 here. Thanks for a wonderful video and memories. :)
🚜🚜🚜 Wow that's a happy moment!

Sometimes there's just not enough yard to start an old Oliver...
I really want to drive that tractor I am excited about the experience.
I ENJOYED THE YOUNG LADY RECORDING THE VIDEO.LOL.SHE WAS FUNNY.LETTING HER PARENTS DO THEIR THING.
Now that's a helluva lawn aerator ! That would be somethin' to drive on a hard surface. Along those lines, I'm wondering if this can be equipped with rubber tires ?
Yes they came with options
Thanks for sharing! Was this tractor purpose made for orchards or tobacco, or another crop?? I just like to know their origin of use. Nice!!!
The purpose of this tractor was cultivating corn and other crops planted in rows. It could do other general farm jobs too, like plowing, planting and harvesting as well as power machines off a belt pulley.
Awww :-)... hehehehe this is awesome.
Oh man! That is amazing haha xD
She's a good old girl... Did you check the tire pressure 😀
what year very old rusty tractor
Was it turning wright dirrection
:-) i like this video :-)
what year is this Oliver tractor ?
Dave H 1941
how does towing it ariund start it
You put in a high gear and when you let out on the cluch it's starts the engine
And that's why the call it a pull start
+farm kid ok thx
Oliver should have been in 3rd or 4th gear for faster starting time and pulling tractor in 2nd or 3rd for the speed
cool
Seems to be more than a few women haters watching the video.
I see there"s a ford fergie in the shed.
Have er shut the IH off, so we can hear the oliver.
Rob those are steel wheels...
unlike every body else was saying
does your car putter lol
farm girls are supposed to get dirty
Don't let a woman anywhere near a video project.All you will get is "yays" and "ways" like it's their daughter playing soccer. And cuts away to a frigging daisy!
+Graham Bentley Turn ya sound off then.
+Graham Bentley kinda disagree the old lady did a fine job rocking the pulling tractor and the daughter doing the video did jus fine :) love from canada!
Needs to put air in the tires, he has no tires ha ha ha ha lollololool no air lollllpo0oilklh
hes going to ruin those rims driving without tires
I hope that's sarcasm.
I REALLY hope that's sarcasm..
stupid 😑😑
i think it is funny sarcasm alot of people emailed me telling me they it thought it was funny as hell, only the idiots that take thing too serous dont like it
+Rob W its not driving on rims its the way old tractors are how could you not see the massive steel grips on the wheels
