In 1947 the Oliver 60 and 70 both had a 15 MPH road gear and in 1948 when the Fleetlines came out the Road gear was 12.5-13 MPH depending on tire sizes so I dont know where you got that 8 MPH from.
Oliver was the first company to offer a 6 cylinder row crop tractor in 1935. Oliver first came out with a Live PTO in 1948 (although history will say that Cockshutt beat them to the market the company actually hired a couple engineers from Oliver and stole the design beating them to the market by a few months). Oliver started offering hydraulics in 1949 (which was also the industries first electric over hydraulic system). In 1950 they began offering a 3 point for all row crop tractors, as well as a choice of gas or diesel engine for every model in the line. Oliver was the first company to make a crawler on rubber tracks. They were the first company to offer FWA as a factory installed option . First to develop a steerable semi-mounted plow, as well as a hitch that would allow tractors with top-link draft control to pull a semi-mounted plow (on the subject of plows James Oliver had to fix John Deeres plow with a chilling process). First company to develop a true CVT transmission (until White came into the picture a shut the project down).
