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.
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 🙄
Wow she turned out awesome. A far far cry from where you started. Props for all your hard work, and appreciate you taking us on a small sample of the journey. Oh, the swear jar, comedic gold.
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.
@@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?
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
That was a pretty steady hand putting those decals on with all of us looking over your shoulder!! Hahaha, glad it came together without too many issues!
@@ThatOliverGuyChris You obvious didn't build many models when you were a kid (too busy either working on the farm or in the dealership, I suppose). If you had, you would have been comfortable with the water transfer method for the decals. Looks great though! If she's still in high school, your daughter needs to take this sweetie to the "drive your tractor to school day" this year! Don't forget the magazine article which showed the original. Fits the paint job much better than the purple overlay to a meadow green Oliver in the movie.
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.
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.
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!
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.
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.
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
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!
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.
It looks and sounds great! Looks like you'll be able to put her in a 4th of July parade. Loved the evolution of the swear jar too, mine would probably be like that too!
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.
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.
You should have Abby to be the first one to drive it out of the shop. The tractor would have much better luck and she would have had a great memory. Looks beautiful.
@@ThatOliverGuyChris Yeah, Yeah, you are like the dad who got his kid an electric train for Christmas, set it up after the kid went to bed on Christmas eve, and then had to test it out for 3 hours until HE broke it. TEE HEE
Having watched that Oliver plow film several times, one thing hit me, how many of those brands of tractors have disappeared or merged and morphed into a blended name.
@@bigun447 I always found it interesting that they listed Minnie Mo, which was part of the family by that time. Guess they needed an extra splash of color.
@@ThatOliverGuyChris Wonder how long New Holland (formally Ford) will be changing its name to Fiat? Fiat is the owner of New Holland. Agco, now selling only Massey Ferguson and Fendt tractors, if I was younger and had the money, my thoughts that some of the other brands might have some serious competition. A few years back a local farmer had a BIG Fendt tractor on demonstration loan from Fendt. He reported it put his other tractors to shame as it was quiet, powerful, and with the front 3-hitch and the big weight, it really put the power to the ground. We always ordered one set of wheel weights, one front base weight, and based on what the farmer was going to use we got 1 to 4 flat weights. When the tractor was mated to a 16-row semi-mounted planter more front weights were helpful.
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.
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.
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!
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.
You did a great job! Painstaking process. But the end result was worth it!

A Perkins not priming up is why our 1850 has the Cummins now great video it sounds great
Thanks!
Beautiful Job well done... She's everything and more, purple....
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
Great job as always! That purple color really ''pops'' on a overcast day.
Thank you!
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!
Congratulations 👍👍👍👍👍👍 she's a beautiful looking machine.
The swear jar had me in stitches! I love the purple! The paint looks a mile thick. Great work!
Thank you!
Wow it turned out awesome. Thanks for taking us along on the adventure with great videos. Have a Blessed Father's Day
Thanks!
Happy father's day Chris,
Nice work. Ofelia came out very nice! I get the swear jar working with fresh paint.
God bless, Boe
Great job, great humor and well.... a remarkable colour.😉
Thank you for this video from Lower Saxony in the north of Germany.
Love your swear jar. Very nice job on the restore. Great color. Thanks for the history on the color purple. Sounds so nice.
Wow, absolutely awesome! What a great story of the purple Oliver!
Man that turned out beautiful. Love the swear jar btw, that's hilarious.
It turned out absolutely beautiful! Can't wait to see it in person.
Just 2 months!
Beautiful! nuf said.
Hearing that lope coming from a "purple" tractor sounds so wrong and I love it
Looks amazing! Turned out better then new it looks like. Congratulations.
Thanks!
Great job, it's a credit to you, thoroughly enjoyed watching them..... 👍👍
I love the color... I'd like to stop by sometime with our daughter.. let her go for a ride!
Oh happy day!!
Wow she turned out awesome. A far far cry from where you started.
Props for all your hard work, and appreciate you taking us on a small sample of the journey.
Oh, the swear jar, comedic gold.
Thanks!
That tractor came out great! I busted my ass laughing every time it cut to the swear jar, too relatable!
Thanks! I usually can hold my tongue when the camera is rolling, but there were a couple of genuine spots where the jar earned its money!
Lovely job.
Thank you!

Definitely a labor of love.
Pretty darn nice looking!
Oh and Chris the color is growing on me. I like it more.
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!

and some wing head bolts to hold the lid down in place of the pan head screws.

Thank you!
NICE....!!!!!
Happy Father's Day Chris. The 1850 looks great nice job
Thank you!

I have a purple 1:16 scale one like yours. This color is awesome.
It’s like a brand new tractor!
Love watching your Videos. I have seen the Purple Olivers had a show & you did a Great Job on it.
That is an awesome looking tractor
Turned out very nice! The swear jar was pretty funny. It’s a good video.
Nice job. Now, to wait for you to plow with it!
Kinda looks like a cotton candy colour on my screen.

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.
Looks great Chris. Like that alternator too. Glad you got it done it's been a long project.
Yeah, it sat in the corner way too long. I'm already looking forward to the next one.
❤️❤️❤️ love the Swear jar.
I’d need a big one.
Lol! I've seen what you name your tractors!
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.

Thank you. It's an eye catching color. That's why Oliver chose it all those years ago.
