Thanks for Watching!!! - ยานยนต์และพาหนะ
there ya go answered my quote about getting most of the scrap to the scrap yard . the head rotting away in the brush . I guess on mans junk is another man's treasure . BUT those treasures are sometimes meant to be cleaned up and make room for more . Oh I hate Oliver's by the way .
You just keep being you! I think I’m gonna have some bracelets made up that say, WWND, what would Norman do? then I’m going to do the opposite of that thing.
Just wondering, why do you watch Ross The OLIVER Man's videos if you hate OLIVER"s?
Cuz he/she is a troll!@@OliverCollector
@@rosstheoliverman 🤣
This is your hobby, most everyone has a hobby. It’s a pricey hobby but that’s your business and the trolls should mind their own business.
It is Your farm your money and your hobby! I will continue to watch and enjoy!
Thanks for the tour , Ross. Good luck with your projects.
Thanks!
all that so called junk is really part of history and guys like you help keep it alive
Thanks!
Checkmate when it is your time to go it's your time to go it is what it is
Many of us whom enjoy and prefer the old equipment, we completely understand you. Let the haters hate, it's just petty jealousy on their part. Think I've said this to you before but, you do you Ross. We faithful viewers will continue to watch and support this wonderful hobby. Cheers :)
Thank you so much!
"Transitioning Cake Bakers" 😂 . I'm glad I had already swallowed my Coffee, because I'm sure it would have come out of my Nose from laughing so hard. This video is only part of why I watch. Yes, you do things that Aggravate the Crap out of me sometimes, like not using the 9650 to move dead 55 combine. Remember, Bigger is Usually Better, especially when it comes to moving Dead Equipment. Keep it up Ross! And by the way, Thanks for oiling the Handyman Jack, or as I know it, The Hi-Lift Jack. See, We told you it would work better 😉👍🚜🇺🇲💪
Ross, just keep doing what you do in the way you do it. We will be here to watch you and listen to your adventure! Stay warm. Spring is one day closer. 😊
Clearing the air; complainers should keep them to themselves.
With the current domestic and world events, we come to your videos for a break from everything negative. You are talented and entertaining.
Ross going full-auto Clark Griswold - amazing.
“What else should we talk about?!? I don’t think I’ve offended anyone enough people yet!”
That “Hurrah” joke was sinister as well, likely flew well above the heads of the youthful…
🤣🤣🤣
Ya know ppl say the same about me and how much I have and how I have stuff at my farm. Piss on them! They must have a ton of time on their hands
Keep making things “more better” !!!
Thanks Mark!
You have an awesome channel Ross! Please keep doing what you’re doing. There are always going to be assholes unfortunately. Thanks for all the great videos Ross!
Thanks Scott!
I have spent most of my life working for farm equipment dealerships, working on farms and farming myself for a time and I prefer the vintage of equipment that you run over the new electronic crap they have today. Equipment from that era was built to last as we can see by it still operating today for you. I love watching you operate your equipment as well as repairing and fixing up your tractors and equipment. I was telling someone the other day of how your 55 combine had been sitting out for several years and in a little while you had it running and it purred like kitten. So keep up the great work, many of us enjoy watching your channel.
Thank you!
Don’t worry about what people think. Keep doing what you do.
Thanks!
Organized chaos buddy, you know where it’s at and it works for you. Keep doing what you do Ross. 👍🏻
I enjoy your videos and love your older equipment. Keep up the good work Ross
Thanks Larry!
Ross keep up with what you do we enjoy every minute of your video's you are truly entertaining
Thanks Stephen!
I keep waiting for those beans you are planting to come up. That process gives one hope for spring and summer.
BTW, this weekend there is a big building supply auction at Dinkeys Auction up by Montgomery, IN. If I remember right the owner also owns a metal plant that rolls their own G-Rib metal. Big Amish area which would make it very interesting. My wife and I used to ride up there on our Goldwing and we were looked at like we look at Amish Buggys.
They don’t make equipment like they use to. I love fixing up the old stuff, cause when the day is done it’s still going reliably and the new stuff is over priced junk…..yeah tinkering on the old stuff is fun.
1:22 Ross the people who don’t appreciate old equipment are lost at this point and if you grew up on that piece of equipment it’s worth much more to you then scrap because of the memory’s you made on it
I am a used tire guy on my tractors. Don't use them enough to justify new so l have found good used to match reasonably priced. Look forward to your vids everyday
Just keep doing what you do, I also enjoy working on old tractors. And because of you and Chris losey, now I would like to have a super 88 Oliver to ad to my collection. As always I enjoyed your video, thank you and keep making them.
Thank you Bob! The super 88 is a great tractor! I hope you find one of your own.
You know, we can now make videos that only members can watch. That's where Jack's version can go. You can call those videos, "Jack's Members Spout Off"
Jack’s off Cuts? Jacks Off Members Only? Only Jack Members?
@@rosstheoliverman 😂😂😂
I do random stuff as well lol but whatever number one priority needs to be done. Pisses me off when somebody said "you need to scrap everything." Smh.
Yeah, if you saw the original edit of that video, I was not too nice but then I thought I shouldn’t assume what other people were trying to say so I cut it back 🤣
I like your videos just the way they are, I kinda do things the way you do and I enjoy the old equipment it’s nice to see someone else with the same interests, thanks for making the video.
Thanks Timothy!
Tractor cabs,, are good for hunting blinds, lol thanks BigAl California
Thanks Al!
Reach out to zipps tow equipment or Bailys yankum rope, Matt’s off road or Murphy’s towing have yankum ropes, Rod you would expect surprised how they work,thanks BigAl California.
I was looking at those Yankam ropes the other day and almost bought one. I’m gonna have to break down and do that. I watched the project Farm video where he tested different brands and I think it would be a handy thing to have.
I love it Ross, Farming its not a job its an Adventure ! LOL If more people could find happiness in what they're doing like you have the world would be a better place. If you love what your doing it will never feels like work and sometimes you look like a kid in a candy store with a $100 bill in your hand ! Bandit
No need to listen to all the nay sayers. If you like it and it appears you do, we will be here to support you! Also in my opinion I call it " saving history " and thank you very much! Both Dad and I enjoy your channel!
Hey Ross! I enjoy every one of your videos and enjoy the stories you share! I have commented a few times, but only as a suggestion, and not as criticism. Every one is entertaining and makes my day! I'm an Allis collector but still enjoy your channel! As far as chains go....I have one or two that I have stretched so badly, you have 2 choices, you can either drag it behind you, or push it in front of you if you're in the mood! 😂😂 Seriously though, caution is needed for doing things like that. When I was a kid, I was helping dad with a tree in a fence line. He had a cable up in it, and I was on our WD45 on the other end. I jerked the old, apparently rotten cable, and it snapped about 10' behind me. It recoiled, and whipped up and over the tractor. As you know, the seat is to the right of center, and I wasn't very big, thank God!.... I guess you could call that a near death experience! 😮
call and order the tire ASAP it may take longer to get here then you would expect!
I am the same way Ross old equipment and love it. Thats why i watch you
Thank you!
That was me on the 37 loader 😂. You’re 💯 right on the hydraulics on it. The loader that replaced the 37 was the 143, it was a little heavier built, had the dual acting boom cylinders, but still had the single tilt cylinder. A lot of the 37’s were trip buckets too.
I’m over 60 & I like old farm equipment. We are on the same page. Your post is interesting 👨🌾
Hey Ross, I live about an hour from you, let me know if you ever need some free labor. I’m ready to see the 4-180 back at it. 👍👍
Thanks!
I know exactly what you are saying on the 37 loader. I have an IH 2001 loader which has the one-way cylinders as well for the lift and only one dump cylinder. No where near as good as the 2250 loader I have, but it gets the job done. I use my handy man jack for everything as well. Be lost without it. A lot of Monday morning quarterbacks out there. I wouldn't worry about it. You be you and let them be them. I like to watch your daily adventures.
We watch because of you . Your a natural entertainer,half mechanic and half stand up comedian . Most people have good intentions but come across kind of negative . It’s ok see cause we show up everyday to see failure , sadness and occasionally more better . So keep doing your thing and we will keep watching . See ya tomorrow
Tell us how you really feel Mr. Ross!:)
Wait no, they will demonetize you!
Yep, that's the clutch. Those 2 set screws on the hub with the lock nut are the pins that lock up the clutch. the electro magnetic unit is turned on and off by the switch in the cab. On my old 55 it failed because that condenser looking thing by the switch failed. Got a new one and good to go. I agree with you on the trailer. The similarity between your collection and methods, and mine is unreal! Are we Sure we're not related? Ha Ha! Yes I have a 28 44 in nearly the same state of unrepair. And it also needs a manifold. I guess I'll have to fabricate one from plate stock. The ones offered by Rosewood are for the smaller model. I bought one for our 17-28 and it needed a bit of fitting with a grinder but worked out good. But wife troubles and working full time and farming has put most all of my tractor projects on hold for a good while. I guess when I turn up my toes, Aumann will have to sell all of my junk! Don't worry about the trolls, their on every channel. Their only enjoyment is to piss off every one they can. I enjoy your efforts because it encourages me to work on mine. BTW, Oil the Jack! Ha Ha! Couldn't resist that one. My late neighbor had a good selection of those Handyman jacks, every one of them was bent to varying degrees!😜
Get my daily chuckle watching your escapades with everything from contrary tractors to escape-artist cows!!! Project priorities are a mind-boggling challenge whether you're a high volume operation, or a small part-timer. Busy season fixes can even try the patience of Job. Somehow it all gets done...eventually.
Love the videos that you make , especially because I also like working older stuff and making it better also,lol, like my white 4-150 that I saved from being taken to a scrap yard, now it goes to the ohio valley antique machinery show every August ,so keep doing what you you do, love your channel 👏🙌👍
Awesome! Thanks for watching!!
I enjoy your videos and always look forward to the next one because they are so interesting. I’m a one man army also I start and move to several different projects it seems to keep me motivated to finish one. You’re doing great my friend keep them coming.
Just like me. Don't change the way you are things. Love your videos, be safe.
Ross, nice video! 👍👍
Thanks Michael !
Excellent video again thanks for sharing enjoy watching you work and explaining how things work
I'm glad you saving history
Thanks!
Luv u man just the way u are lol keep them coming
Thanks!
Merica!!!
Sweet bud getting thew project s getting tidy
Thanks Alex!
theres quite a few white/oliver combines and heads for sale near me in southeast michigan for under $3000 im tempted to get a few
Biggest mistake I made was letting the FFA scrap my old machinery I had parked in the fence rows 😢. Probably worth a lot now. But I'd be like you and try to fix it up.
Yeah, back in the day that was never a thought that this stuff would be worth something at some point or we would’ve all taken better care of it.
I hope my hooking up the power and sprayer comments didn't raise your blood pressure Ross. When you were tromping around in the shed with a flashlight I could see you falling over and well..... I choose not to imagine the possible injury. I'm just concerned with your safety and convince. The sprayer idea was just a way you could play with your toy and make it useful. I see now that you do have brush to kill so it would prove handy, but I realize it is your call. Your videos always prove to be either informative, entertaining or proof that I'm not the only crazy one out there so THANKS 😁👍
I guess I can say that I get it. I don't feel you need to explain yourself to anyone. You are one man and I'm impressed with how much you get done with, most of the time, one hand. Phewy on those that disagree with our feelings about the old equipment. I for one, really enjoy your videos. I will continue to watch the progress and enjoy your humor. I would really enjoy spending a weekend with you just tinkering around with some of your projects, lol. I know I would have a great time. Keep doing what you do your way. See you later.
Thank you Jonathan!
Good job on all your projects buddy! Hope to see you in Greenville.
You know at a very young age I was also infected with the same sickness as you have and to my knowledge there is no cure to this day for Classic Tractor and Equipment Fever. So I thoroughly enjoy everything that you are doing
Hey Ross love your content. I grew up around old equipment. Brings back alot of great memories. Are you going to work on the Heritage tractor.
I hear ya on the tires, sure would be nice to have new ones, but can't afford new ones for something that only gets 100 hours put on it a year
Agree!
Great video Ross. Don't change anything. You are doing a great job. This is your channel; you can do whatever you want. If some people don't like it, they don't need to watch. So entertaining you do what you want. Thank you.
Ross you are the man...don't let the noise from a few drag you down. Love your Vids and always look forward to them. Keep up the great work.
How dare you pull a Deere with an Ollie.SEE
I love the variety of stuff you tackle. Your a natural entertainer too so your videos are always good for a chuckle! God bless!
I watch because I admire your honesty mechanic ability that you will work outside in any weather and I’m 68 years old and was around a lot of that kind of equipment please keep making videos
👍👍👍👍👍
We have a 1655 gas wide front with a super K loader. It also has a single dump cylinder so whenever you need to do some digging it shoves the end of the cylinder rod into the ground because it's mounted on the bottom edge of the bucket. And it likes to get bound up and breaks pins.
You're not a moron!
Thanks!
Your not a moron but i do find you very humerous when you say call me an idiot or call me a moron. 🤣 south central iowa loves ya buddy
love all your videos
Thanks!
I wouldn't worry too much about the haters. They are going to hate no matter what. Easy for me to say, we'll see how that goes if I ever get my channel off the ground! If what you're doing makes you happy, keep doing it! As to the tire for Whitey, I bought a new set of 20.8x38 Firestone's last fall. That hurt bad enough, bet those 23.1x34's are half again as much.
I have the original lights for my 1250 trying to figure out what bulbs to put in them. I just got it running there’s videos on my channel
They are 24 V. I’ll have to check out your video!
@@rosstheoliverman it’s 12 volt now someone before me had the starter switched to 12 has a alternator on it and 12 glow plugs I put a group 31 battery in it seams to turn over fine. Thanks for the subscribe!
I agree that goose neck is doing it's best work! Ross restored tractors and combines can bring new or more price!
Ross, you need a parts manager and/or yard foreman. I could make that place shine if I were there with you.
First I find you have high entertainment value. I'm a Deere guy but I have acquired a couple of old Ollies, three if you count my little Wire Fox Terrier. So I wanted to learn more about them. When I was out of highschool I was working on a 50 cow registered dairy. The money was put to the cows, not equipment. We did maintenance to keep things in working order but never updated any of it. We used a John Deere 1020 gas tractor with a 48 loader. The same issues, wheel bearing every six months and that single dump cylinder would always blow the seals. We eventually figured out the rod was bent. No doubt a result of ramming it into the haylage and corn silage we stored in AgBags. None the less, the little tractor was on duty a minimum of three hours a day cleaning barn yard, feeding cows and once a week dumping sand in the free stalls plus whatever else we could think of to torchure the little Deere. The cows are gone now but the little tractor still there if something is asked of it.
Those are electric clutch. The 2 lock bolts with the jam nuts lock it. Every one I ever saw was locked.
I’d even buy you dinner if something worked out for all the entertainment you bring to me
Yes but that Jack will be good with oil ok, handle will take your face off ,if you get your face in the way of it,the dentist loves the work lololl is the best thing you can do with that high lift Jack,,, thanks BigAl California.
🤣🤣🤣
Keep the videos coming. I'm still enjoying watching them especially when I can get my use soap on the tire comment in 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣
Hi Ross nice video. While you were going over projects that you needed to get to I was wondering when you might work at the overhaul of the 1355 possible heritage tractor. I was assuming it was a priority but maybe not . Thanks
Hey Ross where I’m from those Hi-Lift jacks are known as Bloomfield jacks, and the old wooden handle jacks is a better jack than the new pipe handle ones I have both kinds my opinion of course
When you putting stuff down in cylinders there's some stuff out there called free all and also the second time it's called fluid film I had super great luck with both of them it's an awesome penetration oil is actually free all saved like four motors for me
Did you (or the previous owner) take off the plates below the grille on the 4-180 or did some come like that? On a side note its always been funny to me how nearly every early White 4wd with no grill lights from the factory have aftermarket lights on the front.
I took them off off camera and they’re laying in the cab
Need some white stars on that blue metal
nice, Ross it doesn't make sense but I'm the same way. Truck 98, Newest car 05..I think people are rich, and crazy if they drive anything newer..
That’s one of the things that depreciates a bunch the second you drive it off of the dealers lot. I think it’s crazy that a new pick up like my red one is $90,000.
It's not an addiction it's an obsession I am the same exact way I love my old tractors I'm kind of a messy Harris family never ever even ran in Oliver and I'm 53 years old someday you never know Price is Right and I'll buy anything
My 1st combine was a 7700 Deere and the electric clutch went out. We just bolted it solid with 2 bolts. I hated that combine.
That's the reason I watch . I like oliver stuff , but also all the other stuff . Not much of a ford fan . Worked on vehicles for 30 years and still going . I still watch anyway , if I had a complaint I would keep it to myself. I don't. I comment only for suggestions, you do as you please . Good video!!
We had a JD 2020 with the #37 loader and ROPS canopy too! It wasn't perfect, but very capable and VASTLY superior to what it replaced: a Farmall H with trip bucket and narrow front - which is the most awful tractor I ever had the displeasure to know. (Can't decide if my favourite was the Super 88 or the 2255, but the green machines were always better, whether Oliver or Deere.)
Another good informative video. Keep them coming! I really like combine videos. Do you take requests? Thank you for being customer friendly.
Hey Ross you might try midwest cylinder head repair in Nevada iowa to repair the cast parts like sqatuch 253 did with his prototype mm x253
Ross , dad had a 45 and two 95 combines. The 1959 model 95 had a Norwich sickle drive. It was a lot better then the John Deere sickle drive. On the 1969 95 dad thought the reel turned to fast. Dad went to Far machine shop Norwich , kansas. They made him a bigger belt pulley. The brothers were old then. That was 25 plus yrs ago. The last I heard the foundry and machine shop was now a cnc air craft shop. We did not have an electric clutch on any combine. Maybe a shop like Far machine shop made one!
people need think about them building is your homestead
I like watching you i love the old tractors n combinens so really how many tractors n combines u have just curious
Nice vid Ross, da hell wit da whiners!
Thanks, Jeff! One of these days I’ll remember to film all that stuff you’ve asked me about 🤣
great video an as far as people are concerned they to worry about their own shit
What's the Junk the commenter is talking about? That's rusty treasures.
Some people just don’t see treasure.
Most of the people that are haters on your Channel most likely got their money from Mommy and Daddy people like me and you that strawberry Knuckles everyday in the grounds to make her honest days work just to keep our head above water but we love what we do
Ross I don't think your tires on that white are going to be as bad as you think I have seen in the past the prices have kind of come down I know I commented on how much mine cost the price is since then have come down and I also put fluid in fluid is not cheap to put fluid in a tire is $4 a gallon my guess would on your tractor both tires costing about $2,300
Is the 4-180 on 23.1-34 rubber? If so I feel your pain. I had that size with matching duals on the back of a 1850 Oliver. When I priced new I about fell over.
Yes, 23.1-34 a very oddball size these days. 😭
i have sasme problem you have with opinions of what i do with old stuff
Ross, I think I may have the pully for the 28-44 that you need. What is the part number for it?
I've tried reaching out to you before , I haven't gotten a response but I understand you get a lot of messages and are very busy.
I apologize for not answering stuff. I’m very backed up on answering comments and questions. I’ll try to look the part number up. Thanks!
No problem, I understand getting backed up. But I'm 99% sure I have that pully and I am only a couple hours from your area.
How hard is it to find a oliver77 radiator? Where could I find one? How much should one cost?
77 is not hard at all. Call Korves Oliver they should have one and it’s probably around $400.
Thanks, that's a new resource that I didn't know about, even saw a couple other things I have been looking for.@@rosstheoliverman
