Hi all,
Looking for some price and repair advice for a Oliver 66 Widefront. I have not had a Oliver before, and do not know much about them, so I would appreciate any help and advice that can be given.
I have been offered this as a trade for my Farmall H. It is in good shape, ran this summer, currently not running due to cultivator lift not being in right. Trying to figure out what its worth. The H I have runs and drives, just needs battery and generator.
As far as the repair, I talked to the previous owner who was restoring it before he ran out of time. Was supposedly taking out the cultivator lift to put in a hydraulic pump (ended up being wrong pump), and since the casting is all one piece, could not get the shifter forks to line up when putting it back together. How hard of a problem is this to fix? He had tried 3-4 times to get it in right but couldn't, and the tractor can't be run until it is in properly.
As a side note, I was initially being offered by the same person a case VAC and AC Rotary mower. Trying to figure out what would be a fair deal for both of us as a trade for the H. Primarily interested in the 66, though I am not exactly enthusiastic about trading a running and driving tractor for one that I cannot see run and drive as well. I feel like the 66 and mower would be fair since the 66 is not runable, but since I am unfamiliar with either thought it would be worth asking about.

Today's Featured Article - Third Brush Generators - by Chris Pratt. While I love straightening sheet metal, cleaning, and painting old tractors, I use every excuse to avoid working on the on the electrics. I find the whole process sheer mystery. I have picked up and attempted to read every auto and farm electrics book with no improvement in the situation. They all seem to start with a chapter entitled "Theory of Electricity". After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
