As always, Thanks for watching!
It’s alive! …and purple. Love the advanced payment on the swear jar. 😂
I should have gotten more pink Peeps, they make it look purple for sure! Thanks!
What a awesome looking tractor, I love it.
Imagine a world where Oliver was the dominant American brand and not JD, then you would have innovation and not just some try to copy/ paste tech.
You did a great job! Painstaking process. But the end result was worth it!
Chris, i watched this video a few days late but love that pretty tractor. I saw a video from William Chambers that had several Cockshutt tractors and a cockshutt 1950 that looked like Herman. anything you can add i am curious.
A Perkins not priming up is why our 1850 has the Cummins now great video it sounds great
Thanks!
Great job as always! That purple color really ''pops'' on a overcast day.
Thank you!
Nice startup 👍😎
A swear jar?? Lol.. I've got a 55 Gallon barrel outside the shop. It's for cans and bottles (Oregon has bottle deposit. Cost 10¢ a piece, but you can get it back)
So it's the swear jar.. probably owe more to it, but..lol..
The Purple Lady is looking good, running good... You done good Chris!!!!
Washers with rubber are great!! Definitely helps keep the screws from loosening up!!!
Happy Father's Day!!!
Thanks for the video!!
Thanks Ed! We have 10 cent deposit here too. My neighbor was an avid walker, and he bought himself a beater pickup with the money he got from picking up cans and bottles on his walks.
@@ThatOliverGuyChris lol.. ya, deposit and Oregon is the "Green State"...😂🤣 You could buy a new combine if you walked a few miles of road every day for a year 🙄
I see 3 silos there on the farm. How many cows were miked at its highest number. My friends here in Montgomery Twp., NJ, had 600 and quit milking because they weren’t making any money. Plus they had a hard time finding people to milk the cows, (in a modern milking parlor).
That setup was for beef cattle. If we ever had dairy, it was just enough for personal use. We got out of beef when I was around 10 years old, I'll have to ask how many we ever had.
WOW, how did you ever do this, it's crazy gorgeous, but it's not purple, it's PINK...
Oliver called it purple, who am I to doubt them? LOL
Ready for a Fourth of July parade near you.
what is that like the twenty thousandth tractor you have sucsesfully rebuilt? lol Another job well done Christopher WTG! you did an especially nice job here I think we can all agree.
I keep trying to raise the bar for my restorations. They turn out nicer, but it's possibly a road to the nuthouse. Lol
Very good looking 1850. In 1967 I got the chance to plow with my uncles 1965 1850 gas tricycle front. I was pulling a 6-14 plow about 8 to 9" deep in 4th gear direct. His Dad and I managed to do two 20 acre fields in a day. His Da was using the new 1967 1850 gas with a wide front and the same plow. It was a sure pleasure to drive. Kinda beat my Dad's 1949 88 with 3-14's, but I enjoyed it too.
Very nice bro those decals make a big difference. Enjoyed your journey of this project too. Safe travels
Thank you!
Oh happy day!!
Great job, great humor and well.... a remarkable colour.😉
Thank you for this video from Lower Saxony in the north of Germany.
My Dad & brothers I drove an early 1800 from the early 60’s to after 2000, I changed mechanical steering shaft out to the new hydro system
Very nice job. Looks sharp. Also enjoyed the old dealer footage in the beginning, just listening to the sales pitch a lot of the old makes did is entertaining. Plus I saw a glimpse of a 190XT in that footage so I really enjoyed that. Lol.
NICE....!!!!!
Congratulations 👍👍👍👍👍👍 she's a beautiful looking machine.
I might missed, why Oliver calls this color Purple? Just curious.
It was inspired by a Lincoln Continental that caught the eye of one of the guys from sales at the factory. He felt it would do the same on a tractor, and that's where the idea was born. I think Lincoln called it rose mist. My guess would be Oliver felt going with pink wasn't manly enough, but that is entirely a guess. Light purple seemed to be little more common in the mid 60s. My dad had a 65 Chevelle that was painted Evening Orchid, which is very similar to this shade.
Love watching your Videos. I have seen the Purple Olivers had a show & you did a Great Job on it.
More like pink then purple
My wife said the same thing when I had her watch the video. She got a piece of pink material and the purple showed up. Now Chris will have to sew up a Purple outfit for Abby to wear.
I defer to this example I made back around Easter...

Need to use 569 loctite for the hydraulic fittings. No leaks. No need to torque tighten.
Sounds like you put a full race cam in her when she first started.
Many years ago, as a teenager, I was running my dads 1800 on a subsoiler. About mid afternoon, the engine got very quiet for a brief time then stopped. When I tried to restart it, you could hear air sucking into the exhaust. The dealer found the camshaft broken in three places, along with breaking the timing gears.
Beautiful Job well done... She's everything and more, purple....
Looking very sharp Chris. Now onto fixing that oil leak 😔
It's a very minor drip, at this point I think I'm going to live with it.
Man that turned out beautiful. Love the swear jar btw, that's hilarious.
Happy father's day Chris,
Nice work. Ofelia came out very nice! I get the swear jar working with fresh paint.
God bless, Boe
Chris you did alot of nice work on that tractor but I will stick with my 806 farmall.
Hmm our 1600 is pretty impressive it pulled a 14 ft Krause disc in high 4th
Love the swear jar! I have a question............Would the purple tractors had dealership decals put on them? Even if they did not, you should put some on.................You were an Oliver Dealer!
None of the purple tractors were sold as purple. When the promotion was done, they were all taken back and repainted green to be sold as demonstrators. I have heard of a couple of tractors turning up with purple paint under the green, but never one that stayed purple. I've got to get some dealer stickers made, but I plan on doing just that.
@@ThatOliverGuyChris Interesting, I figured the dealers demo'ing them would have stickers of some sort slapped on them, and when they moved around the dealer demo'ing it at the time would put his over the last dealer who had it. How did the dealers who had them out get their name out? Signs on the plow?
I love the color... I'd like to stop by sometime with our daughter.. let her go for a ride!
I love that purple tractor don't know why but I do good job
Thank you. It's an eye catching color. That's why Oliver chose it all those years ago.
I'm guessing you're not gonna use that one to farm? Looks awesome
Thanks, not much.
That's not.a leak, she's marking her territory. LOL
Looks GREAT ❣️❣️ 😀👍😀. That's fresh paint smells when running😊. Know you just have to find a small cooler to fit into the top battery hole😎🤠
and some wing head bolts to hold the lid down in place of the pan head screws.
@@ThatOliverGuyChris 👍😀
If it would have been me, I would have been putting $10 dollar bills in the swear jar each time. Lol The purple machine is alive!! Awesome job Chris. I really enjoyed the intro from Oliver. Very cool. Take care & stay safe. Cheers PS Is it me but the lights have a purple glow in the vid. Cool effect.
Good eye. I'm going to have to make a night time video to show them off.
That’ll be cool!
Boy, Chris, is that thing PURPLE!! LOL!! Beautiful tractor, Chris!!
Thanks, Dale! Our power went out in the storm, it might go on the generator if it stays out very long. Hope it didn't hit too hard up your way.
@@ThatOliverGuyChris missed us nearly completely. A few leaves blown off the trees, we got, 1.08" of water.
That's an awesome job. Could you send a copy of the original purple tractor commercial? If you posted it, or it's on TH-cam I apologize, I can't find it anywhere.
Here you go. th-cam.com/video/1m124FlhHDo/w-d-xo.html
@@ThatOliverGuyChris Thank you.
My new favorite oliver looks bout like one my buddy has
wonderfull, great job.
Awesome tractor.
Best regards from Ostfriesland, Germany
Thank you very much!
@@ThatOliverGuyChris
Hello. the brands Oliver or White didn't exist or don't even exist with us. You can't find much about Wikipedia and the like. I think the tractors are very beautiful, is there an internet forum or a page where you can read properly about the tractors?
Hearing that lope coming from a "purple" tractor sounds so wrong and I love it
I have a purple 1:16 scale one like yours. This color is awesome.
I love the jar. I have a gallon jar 😂. Very nice job on the oliver
Looks amazing! Turned out better then new it looks like. Congratulations.
Thanks!
Amazing job sir, the attention to every little detail and patience that you have for the whole restoration process is awesome and the end result shows it. My hats off to you buddy. I’m alright through all the mechanical work but when it comes to paint and decals I will need a 5 gallon bucket for a swear jar. Also you handled the oil leak at the back of the engine very well(on camera anyway) myself in the same situation my neighbors would swear that they heard the elusive Bigfoot calling out for a mate.
LOL! At this point, let's just say the tractor might mark its territory for awhile.
I still have to finish my 1955 but I recently found a Cockshutt 1750 all original with no leaks, everything works and a little over 5000 hours for $4,000. It’s a diesel and has the 3 speed. And I’m almost done with the little Cockshutt 20. So my swear bucket will be filling up soon
Why did he paint it that color? Anybody?
Oliver painted a few of this model tractor this color back in the 1960s to sell plows to guys that had other brands of tractors. It didn't matter if your tractor was red, green, orange, blue, yellow, or even purple, the Oliver plow would work behind it.
Beautiful job on the 1850 restoration! What a great idea way to preserve and display a awesome piece of history! Happy Father's day!
Thank you very much!
Wow! Awesome!
What tractor will you restore next?
Plans are for the 1855.
Beautiful! nuf said.
Now you need to make the purple plow to go with it
Man I LOVE that Perkins sound. Tractor looks amazing Chris! Will you be taking this to Half Century?
Not sure at this point. I plan on going, but will have been at shows the 2 previous weekends, not sure I'll want haul it that far.
Great job on the Oliver 1850
Beautiful tractor very well done
Beautiful paint and sounds awesome
That is an awesome looking tractor
Definitely a labor of love.
Looks great has been a fun series can’t wait to see it for real. We use a product called rapid tac at the dealer where i work Love the intro. Is she going to make the parade on the 4th
Yep, Abby is even going to drive! I'm sure I'll do some kind of video of that.
👍👍👍good morning
Good morning!
Right on! Looks great!
Thanks!
Pretty darn nice looking!
Is it just me, or does it look more pink than purple? Still, great job!
It is the pink side of purple, until you hold something up to it that is really pink. Then it looks purple.
@@ThatOliverGuyChris I figured as much. Well done sir!
Now that is a beautiful tractor. I’d have to spend some money on a cover for it👍👍
It has a nice barn to live in.
Good job Chris! It looks awesome and really sounds good! You should be very proud!
Thanks!
What's with the swear jar
People often comment how I don't end up swearing when something goes wrong. The swear jar is to let everyone know, that sometimes it's just edited out.
Wow! You've talked about the 310 sound. The 354 sound is an easy listen as well. Beautiful restoration. Now will we see it pulling a meadow green plow? Hope so. Had to laugh at the college fund. Thanks for the instructional vids. Happy Father's Day.
Beautiful job! now i am curious wat hp number you could write on that tag after a dyno test.
92 horsepower was the advertised amount. Most turned more than that. I'll have to dyno it one of these days.
Hey Chris do you know where a person can get fwa parts for Oliver and etc tractors thanks
Maibach's in Creston, Ohio, The Tractor Doctor in Mondovi, Wisconsin, or Pump Recon in Independence, Missouri can get you going. Google any of those names for contact info.
Awesome Turned out great I just got a Super 55 running yesterday after it had been sitting in a field for 20year My neighbour gave it to me for helping clean her property after her husband passed Its in rough shape But it's running again now Even has an Oliver loader on it
Love the color... so which implement are you going to paint to match?
Probably none of them. Oliver left the plows green when they painted the 1850s for this promotion.
Looks and sounds great
That is a good looking tractor.
But I can see I need to get a swear jar, lol.
My daughter isn't going to have to apply for any scholarships at this pace!
Love your swear jar. Very nice job on the restore. Great color. Thanks for the history on the color purple. Sounds so nice.
Just as I’d thought maybe you’d get a refund from the jar… here comes Lincoln! Nice play there! 😂
Wasn’t Herman’s wife’s name “Lily”?
Yep. I considered that, but my daughter like Ophelia and it stuck.
That Oliver Guy - Chris Losey we bought our motorhome from a gentleman named Oliver, it’s affectionately called “Olley”.
Great job, it's a credit to you, thoroughly enjoyed watching them..... 👍👍
The swear jar had me in stitches! I love the purple! The paint looks a mile thick. Great work!
Thank you!
O-yes purple is my favorite color..God Bless from Monroe Georgia...Stay Safe...
It turned out absolutely beautiful! Can't wait to see it in person.
Just 2 months!
She is a beauty.
That plastic #1 key chain is the same key chain I have.
Cool. What dealer is on yours?
Ok. Thanks Chris
I like the vintage intro👍
I was at the HPOCA in Mt. Pleasant, IA a guy told the story about talking to the fellow that put decals on at the Charles City Factory. He ask him where the decals were supposed to be placed. his answer was " Were ever I felt like putting them that day".
Supposedly there were templates for decal placement and other instructions for paint and detail work. I've also been told some of that went by the wayside depending on how busy things were at the factory. It's not uncommon to see a build card that has notes about missing decals at final inspection.
Wow it turned out awesome. Thanks for taking us along on the adventure with great videos. Have a Blessed Father's Day
Thanks!
Sounds Beautiful, looks beautiful, IS beautiful. Congratulations! Dear Lord, what have we allowed to happen to those perfect American values espoused in that old Oliver "Color Blind Plow" commercial? Great reminder.
Thank you so much!
I liked how you check the gear shift EVERY time you start it no such thing as being too safe. Looks great congrats
Hey Chris the tractor turned out really nice! I apply decals the same way, I have never used water. We apply alot of decals at work this same way. They make a plastic tool to remove air bubbles kind of like body filler applicators. I like the rubber backed washer on the thumb screw for the side panels. Have a great fathers day!
Thanks!
The tractor turned out great! Decals are the greatest finishing touch to a nice paint job. I always used a misting of Windex to give me a little wiggle room when placing my decals.
Great job on the restoration to match a special edition with a historical tie. I liked stitching the new purple into the old film - had to laugh!
You need to take a Ford plow and paint it same color because most people probably don't k now most all the ford plows were Oliver's
I have a 4 bottom Ford. I was thinking the blue would go nicely with this color.
@@ThatOliverGuyChris yes it would actually
Lovely job.
Thank you!
Nice job. Now, to wait for you to plow with it!
Kinda looks like a cotton candy colour on my screen.
Really enjoy your videos, I like all your tractors but this one might be my favorite!!! Thanks for sharing!! Happy Fathers Day!!!
Thank you!
Oh and Chris the color is growing on me. I like it more.
So awesome
G'day Chris congrats its alive. 😂🤣 Swear jar that would be full be the end of the day for me lol
Thanks Murphy! That's why I had to switch to the Benjamins. There wasn't room enough in the jar. LOL
@@ThatOliverGuyChris lol
You did one very fine job on that tractor! You certainly have an eye for detail. This has been a neat series of videos to watch!
That 354 looks to have a pretty clean exhaust even when cold. It sounds tight.
I totally agree about Dumont's for decals, they are excellent. You did a fantastic job of applying them.
Thanks for all the excellent videos!
Thank you very much!
This place looks familiar. Kinda like a place I unloaded a HG crawler and plowed, then passed around some WV whiskey. Hey Chris was a very good editor for the HPOCA magazine in some tough times.
Hey Andy! How are you doing!
@@ThatOliverGuyChris Doing well, Keep those tractors locked up, or Abby will have them all. I has been a long time, seems like just a few months ago and she was in a car seat. Have you collected all the tractor your Dad sold there in Michigan yet? As usually you have some good ones.
@@andyblackwood6023 Dad sold a few more than i can safely collect. I have gotten a few key ones back though.
