To me it seems most repainted Oliver’s of this era are painted the wrong color when it comes to the white color. It’s not snow white it’s a greenish white. I forget the exact name of the color. When I see the white on these tractors I know it’s wrong.
that is a nice tractor. every one i knew that had Olivers had real good luck with them. my uncle bought one it had the cat motor. he loved the tractor it was nice. but he got to big for it. back then it was all heavy tillage. he had about 5000 acres to farm. two hired men and two stiegers.the only tractor he bragged about was the Oliver.he ran JDs before it. rs then 5020s. he liked the Oliver better then the 5020s.he would say how easy they are to work on, he was a great mechanic like you.
Howard Younger he had the 2255 then. That was a lot of acres! Still today it is. He must’ve liked green paint he owned all brands green lol. Did he plow everything? Thanks for watching Howard
nice to know the number. thanks. for dry land that was not a lot you only plant half every year. then summer fallow the other half.when you summer fallow all you do is kill all the weeds right after they come up. he didnt plow. early on he would one way for the first pass in the spring.it is like the plows you use but with a single disc gange then use field cultivater with sweeps.if the weeds got to big he would use a disc. it pulls easier but not as deep.the dry land ground would not pack because it was never really wet. then in the later years he went to a noble plow. which is just field cultivater with 5 or 6 foot sweeps. and he would run it 6-8 inches deep. it would leave the stubble to help with wind erosion. it is all about building sub moister up it does also help the fertillity because it take a long time for the stubble to break down. he did have ACs and a International 815 combine. but ya green mostly.
Good review of the 1800. I sure like hearing the history of these old gals. I really like how heavy built the bathtub frames are. That is what caught my eye on the DA 9150 I use to run. Much heavier than the frame rails on the Deere's of that time. Most today dont even have frame rails.
Fieldman12 thanks man ya I like that too. I don’t think it’s a good idea to use the engine as a frame. I know CNH tractors have a cast bathtub frame still not sure about anyone else
It also has a telescopic steering wheel. You turn the center chrome knuckle to loosen and adjust it. It is standard right hand threaded. I found it out buy accident on ours.
Good overview! You covered a lot of the main items on the 00/50 series tractors. I know you use yours a lot and it's good to see them still being used. Has the engine ever been apart? Or rear end? Thanks for the video!
burningdinosaurs thanks for watching bud! Rear end had never been apart and it’s on its third engine. First time we overhauled it we put M and W pistons in it. Second time we overhaul it how are dealer had a standard overhaul kit not the M and W one and they cut us a real good deal on it but there was a noticeable drop in power
Beautiful tractor Jake. Whoever repainted that tractor years ago did a great job. Your family had taken great care of it, did you buy it new? Unfortunately that is why I'm hesitant to loan things out. Seems something always happens. Take care, See you next post.
Jake Ziegler thanks and Just asking asking what have you not done an overview one seems like you done one on everything. You have correct me if I'm wrong.
I was confused with what they referred to as a Wheatland model? The front axle is back further? Is that what they are, and is that the only thing that makes it a wheatland?
Go to tractordata.com or the tractor forms or Wikipedia and they will give a good description. looks like they are built for pulling implements lower to the ground mostly and not able to setup for row crops. like an M vs a W6
PA Farms the options were a front axle like ours then they had the sweped back front axle that was still adjustable but sat back about a foot for tighter turning. Then they had the wheatland also that was a non adjustable cast iron front axle
I have only seen one Oliver tractor up close before. Not very popular up my way I guess. I don't remember the model number, but it was quite impressive!
JAKE,QUESTION,if I knew the answer I wouldn't ask,whats the difference between a 1950 and a 1950T,u ever seen 1976 200 year anniversary,oliver,red,white and blue oliver
our 1650 has the 283 in it too, it got over hauled a while ago and they turned it up too like 75- 80 hp, and she is one heck of the puller, you just push the throttle up and she goes, and pulls haha, dont even hardly need the 2 speed, but it is very nice like you said, ecsepsilly in the hills, dad says he has want too take it too a tractor pul cuz it pulls so good, but its original tire would not help it lol
Yes she is fun to drive! no power shortages lol well you could also sponsor us a bean head also! lol i like the 7600, but i like the 1650 more than a bean head! haha lol
Thats a nice unit Jake. Are the bolts on the hood and side panels stainless or chrome plated. I was thinking on using them on this 1755. Thanks for the video.
William Chambers thanks will! They are just regular nickel plated bolts. I’d use them because paint always gets marred if u have to take the shields off. And they look good
Looks like a good solid tractor an Oliver is the only tractor I've never drove, it's a shame you can't go buy a good no nonsense tractor like that anymore. Is the over under 6 speed with a high range Or is it 6 low 6 direct 6high good video
Corey Trout thanks man ya I wish one could buy a simple mechanical tractor new still. Yes over under is 18forward. This tractor just has the hydra power so it’s just low and direct 12 forward. No over drive
I worked for a farmer in early 80s. He Oliver 1550 diesel it was a nice tractor very economical to run. It was used for everything around the farm. Thanks for sharing.
Hey Jake! Great video like always! I was Wondering if you could do a review on the Oliver 880 your family has! I'm a Farmall guy and I've always wanted a 880 and want to hear your thoughts on one before I buy one for my Farm! Thanks! great vid!
We had a 1955 back in the day, we would break that chain coupler at least once a year. had a neighbor who told us about that alignment bolt, once we figured that out never had a problem.
The Sherman auxiliary transmission was an over under upgrade available on the Ford 8Ns and I think some Massey Harris but I am not sure. Here is the link: www.oldfordtractors.com/sherman.htm

We had an Oliver 1650. Good tractor! Dad traded it off. Wish we still had it. Gasoline also. It drank the gas like there was a hole in the tank.
I liked that over, direct, and under drive. You could really adjust the ground speed to the heavy or lightness of the crop. Too bad Oliver went under!

Scott Viers thanks man! We bought it in the early 70s. Dad repainted it. It’s been a good tractor. Ya we don’t loan stuff much lol
My 1655 is having that problem where I don't have the bolt for the over/under and it took out my pto and bell housing adapter plate
Joey Mendoza-Gray that sucks
They are tough. And would you do an overview of the 880
Minnesota oliver and deere yep and I proly can
Jake Ziegler thanks and Just asking asking what have you not done an overview one seems like you done one on everything. You have correct me if I'm wrong.

Charlie Adamchik thanks they are very well built
JAKE,QUESTION,if I knew the answer I wouldn't ask,whats the difference between a 1950 and a 1950T,u ever seen 1976 200 year anniversary,oliver,red,white and blue oliver
michael heinen no problem man! 1950 had a Detroit diesel the 1950T had a turbo 310 wakashaw. Yes I’ve seen a few very pricey lol

Thanks for the info and video ! Did you ever watch the link I sent you on the 7300 combine ?
Scott’s Small Farming and Things . Yes I did thanks for sharing bud
Gem
was the battery underneath the floor plate?
yes, if you look at 3:33, at the edge of the left side of the clutch is where the battery is, under that floor plate
That's a sharp looking old workhorse. Lots of good information on her too. Stay safe.
crslyrn Thanks man!
Thats a nice unit Jake. Are the bolts on the hood and side panels stainless or chrome plated. I was thinking on using them on this 1755. Thanks for the video.

Monty Bussard cool 1550s are a real nice tractor! Thanks for watching
Nice tractor. I don't know much about Olivers but I always liked the looks of them.
We had that chain break on our 1655. Wasn’t going very fast at the time so luckily it didn’t destroy nothing.
pancakewes that’s good
Hey Jake! Great video like always! I was Wondering if you could do a review on the Oliver 880 your family has! I'm a Farmall guy and I've always wanted a 880 and want to hear your thoughts on one before I buy one for my Farm! Thanks! great vid!
Colin Nolden thanks Colin ya I can do one. I like them but I’ll explain more in the video. Thanks for watching
Good looking tractor, very clean unit;;;;;;
We had a 1955 back in the day, we would break that chain coupler at least once a year. had a neighbor who told us about that alignment bolt, once we figured that out never had a problem.
kegar79 that’ll do it. Glad u found the problem
We have a lot of those tractors where I'm at. Oliver always had a nice tractor. (and that's coming from a IH man!) :)
Jamie Smith haha glad u think so! They were pretty strong in Wisconsin
Good overview and nice tractor. It’s pretty similar to my 1600 but yours is in a lot better condition lol
Wesley K thanks man ya just bigger
I used to run a 1750 Oliver diesel for a farmer in Humboldt Illinois and i really enjoyed it....they were nice tractors......
Francis Vincent cool! Ur not to far from me
I have lived in Mattoon almost my whole life, was raised on a farm in Greenup -Toledo area but have lived in Mattoon all my adult life.
Nice machine. Thanks for the walk around.
Is the trans similar to a Sherman but with just the over?
Chuck Stevenson Thanks chuck! Sherman??
The Sherman auxiliary transmission was an over under upgrade available on the Ford 8Ns and I think some Massey Harris but I am not sure. Here is the link:
www.oldfordtractors.com/sherman.htm
Chuck Stevenson yes it’s doing the same thing. Giving it another set of gears. Except this is a power shift 2 speed
I have always liked the diesel over the gas better I think it was because of the sound of the engine
You git a nice toy here Jake! :)
Regards...
Looks great
prestemon thanks
Would you add an over under to this tractor, or was that an option?
Frank Deegan no in 1968 the 1850s started having them.
Why do you want to own such an old tractor for? You need some late model Deeres on the farm..
youtube farmer ha! I got stuff that needs done! Don’t need to be working on it
