we had 2 olivers, a 1650 and a 1855, i prefered the 1650, the 1855 was a good tractor but went through a turbo every other year it seemed, had to watch the rpms too, with the 1650 you had plenty of time if it started to lug down too much. parts for the olivers could be difficult to find, there was the '64 ford 4000-great little tractor, power steering, live pto. the '49 jd A is a classic, 321 cubic inches out of two cylinders, magneto ignition. tough to beet...and steer...and back up in a controlled manner, forget about backing a wagon with that "road gear reverse". the N series fords-'46, been in the family since new, currently undergoing a renovation, fuel effecient like nothing else...the other N is a parts tractor now, had a backhoe and loader, amazing road speed being a 8N with a sherman overdrive. and theres the 1020. best thing about it is the loader, dont know how we made it without one... the olivers and the 4000 are gone now, always wanted to try a 4020 out in the feild, i imagine it would be similar to the 1855 we had in performance, that brighter green paint is expensive, you can always get 'deere parts....if you can afford them, the yellow trim on deere products must be actual gold!
