Hogwash. I spent many hours in the seat of an Oliver 1800 series A gasser back in the day. (Still my alltime favorite tractor to work ground even over our newer and bigger 1066 IH diesel that came along later.). Never ever did it burn 12 to 14 gallons in an hour. Nebraska tests reports are very accurate on this tractor. That said a series B or series C Oliver 1800will not be as fuel efficient as a Series A but even the later series would not come anywhere close to your figures.
The tractor was very fuel efficient (for a gasser) and had incredible power for only 74 hp. Ours was not babied either as it usually drew all the oversize implements to pull as the other wore out diesels (MM G705) would not handle them. Even pulled 5-16" plows with it in scrub hard to plow ground. Of course the nice 1066 eventually came along and that became our big horse.
