Great history lesson, thanks. I have wondered about that connection in the past different times.

[@WisconsinOliverNut]

Thank you for watching! Did you check out my more recent video where I toured the Waukesha museum?

[@MikeJensen-wo7oh]

@@WisconsinOliverNut Not yet, I'll get there. That time of year you know.

[@stephenfonder7409]

Thanks for the info. I never knew all that information about Wakasha engines.

[@WisconsinOliverNut]

You’re welcome! Come back to my channel on Saturday, I’m releasing a video about Cessna, the plane company, and how they were the supplier for Oliver’s Super 44 and 440 hydraulics.

[@stephenfonder7409]

Unfortunately small engines have been discontinued for a while. The Waukesh location is where engineering, training and remanufacturing are located. Product manufacturing is now in Canada

[@WisconsinOliverNut]

Yep, check out my recent video where I took a tour of the Waukesha museum, located at the plant in Waukesha kzbin.info/www/bejne/d3PVYZ1nhZt3m5Isi=N-mlAOL8oc_zkGlq

Waukesha also provided the engines to Allis Chalmers for the first year production of the WC and B series tractors

[@WisconsinOliverNut]

Awesome!

[@RJ1999x]

West Allis, was the best part of that map! Sacred ground

[@eberhoozen]

I grew up there and worked at Waukesha Engine after high school. I worked on Oliver parts. My grandfather also worked there in 30’#-40’s.

[@WisconsinOliverNut]

That’s awesome!

I came across a old farm stead 4 years ago. When I was checking out the property, I came across several different models of Minneapolis Moline tractors and equipment. So I went to the nearest farmer, he told me that farm was the Original Minneapolis Moline Testing grounds . He also told me that Minneapolis Moline had over Two Hundred tractors there. The original owner past away a couple years ago. But his two sons still own the property . I am going to contact the gentleman's to find out if there are going to sell the tractors or not. This farm located 190 miles north of the Twin Cities of mi

[@WisconsinOliverNut]

Wow! That’s cool! Would he neat to find out more information on this site.

OEM right's on the smaller Waukesha engine, now belong to Arrow Engines, still manufacturing mostly natural gas powered engines

[@jimmyjohnson7041]

So....curious ?????? Where oh where was the crank for the engine suppose to be kept ? Its not through the front in the radiator area !!! Not many if any know.... Just curious ?

[@WisconsinOliverNut]

I think it was usually kept inside the frame, resting on the engine mounts

[@jimmyjohnson7041]

@@WisconsinOliverNut Your right. It was kept on the right side of the engine ( when sitting on the seat ) Between the motor mounts.. Handle towards the battery...and the tip towards the radiator. Middle " bow " hanging downward.

[@michael7126]

Cool

[@dougedwards8022]

We had a gas 1555 oliver ,, it had a thirst for gasoline like no other

[@WisconsinOliverNut]

Yeah the bigger gas ones like their fuel

[@414RadioTech]

Well I can tell you this that they're planning on tearing down the old Waukesha engine facility now that it's officially abandoned

[@WisconsinOliverNut]

Ah that’s sad news

[@randymagnum143]

Zipper motors. Poor 310 got a bad rap.

[@billloomis4975]

That was White's fault, that engine should've never been turboed.

[@corndogextreme8887]

Well they could have put a bigger oil cooler

[@michaelhuffer9966]

So boring are so tired to talk about a tractor 😢

[@WisconsinOliverNut]

Thanks for watching!
