Picture is of a load of Oliver Super 55 tractors on a trailer pulled by a B-61 Mack road tractor with the 673 ci Mack engine, 175 hp with pneumatic starter; air brakes on the 34' single axle trailer. The load was hauled from the Charles City, IA factory to Leinbach Machinery Co in Winston-Salem, NC in the winter of 1957 by my brother. Brother was sent to a local blacksmith for a 5/8” rod bent to make an off-center “V” to clamp the Regis (Stay) and Steering Tie Rods so front wheels were locked from turning which would have resulted in damage on the oil pan on one tractor and steering shaft on other; steering wheels were removed on all but first and last tractor for this method of transport. Factory staff brought running tractors off the assembly/testing line to my brother who drove them on the trailer with use of two short boards to “piggy-back” the front wheels over the rear wheels. Front wheels of first tractor are resting on thick oak boards hanging over the front of the trailer. He had to sign waiver in case of damage or if anyone was hurt, that he would have been responsible.

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
