It sounds like the Oliver would cost a fortune to fix up, let alone restore. There is a big difference between restoring and getting in running order. With all do respect to Lanse, he did not do a ground up restoration on his B. He did take a dead tractor and fix it up so runs though. I've seen some pictures of fully restored older tractors from the tear down to completion. For a proper restoration everything is completely taken apart and overhauled with new parts where necessary. I would bet that most completely restored tractors are done for sentimental reasons or for show by people with a lot of time and money. Most would cost 3 or 4 times more to restore than they could ever sell for. The Oliver probably needs a complete engine. It might be a better idea to find a complete tractor in better condition to fix up. Dave
