Ya,it's just getting real hard to find them in what you might call a "moderate" condition. They're either restored or rusted right in to the ground. There've only been two new tractors here on the farm. A new Oliver Hart Parr 70 in 1937 and a 4040 Deere in 81. Most everything else was a 10-15 year old trade in that had reasonable care. That's what I remember a "new" tractor being. A lot of tractors of that vintage were original and being used when I hauled milk too,so that's what I have the most memories of. If they needed paint when a dealer got them,they usually didn't end up being painted original. The Olivers ended up with white wheels and grills,the John Deere A's and 60's and what not got a yellow stripe painted on the side of the hood,some of the Farmalls ended up with some ivory paint somewhere,the red and gray Fords wound up blue. To me,a nice used one just has more emotional appeal. I made the mistake of painting a half way decent Oliver 1550. It's nice,but it's not original anymore. I've got an original 1600 and an 1850 with the original dealer decals,and those two won't ever see any new paint as long as I own them.

Today's Featured Article - Upgrading an Oliver Super 55 Electrical System - by Dennis Hawkins. My old Oliver Super 55 has been just sitting and rusting for several years now. I really hate to see a good tractor being treated that way, but not being able to start it without a 30 minute point filing ritual every time contributed to its demise. If it would just start when I turn the key, then I would use it more often. In addition to a bad case of old age, most of the tractor's original electrical system was simply too unreliable to keep. The main focus of this page is to show how I upgr
