Red: You bought the right shade of green, I should be allowed in your shop. My hat was bought to satisfy a Deere farmer who told me I wasn't allowed in his shop with a red hat.
Seriously, I've always liked Olivers, probably would have been more of an Oliver guy had my dad listened to me in 1955. I pressed him to buy the Oliver Super 77 diesel, however he chose the Farmall 300. Decission was based purely on the more established dealer. I still think I was right, afterall what builds strong dealers.
I tried out a 1650 diesel, just before I bought my 656, probably would have bought the 1650, had the 656 not come with a farm I bought. I liked that 1650 with the over-under, had more wallop than 656. Not quite as manuverable as 656.

He recently scaled back his operation, and the Olivers 1855, 1550 and 550 stayed, Deere and 886 are gone, and money was not an issue.
