Oliver Tractor and Equipment Tour Part One - Early, Styled, and Fleetline Tractors

I finally made the time to start filming an equipment tour. I start with the oldest and work my way up. This is part one, going from 1932 to 1954 tractors.
Made in loving memory of my father. Happy Father's Day!

[@jayjones6904]

Ty so much for showing your collection sexiest tractors made i grew up watching Oliver's love Herman god bless u

[@corydriver7634]

Love this tour man! Best line “...and way over there is a deer eat’n my soybeans, jerk.”

[@Yamatokidsgaming]

I want an Oliver so bad and he has so many he is lucky.

[@ZekenStreak]

An outstanding video Chris. I really enjoy watching all your videos but the bonus is listening to the history of each piece of equipment. With your family involvement with Oliver, you’re a walking encyclopedia and true ambassador of the company. Looking very much forward to the next video in this series. Happy Father’s Day. Take care & stay safe. Cheers

[@ThatOliverGuyChris]

Thanks!

[@rcs40x]

We still have our 1947 Oliver 60 row crop my grandpa bought new, it has the double 5 speed transmission with the lift also but no implements for the lift, still runs like a top

[@TractorTen]

Thank you🤠👍

[@mickdog2]

Yeah, the crawler should be the next big project, that'd be cool.

[@2020jd]

Haven’t even watched it yet and already smashed the like button! We’ve all been waiting on this one for a while. Thanks for taking the time to show off your collection!

[@ThatOliverGuyChris]

There's more to come. I didn't think this one would be so long until I edited it together.

[@scruffy6151]

YES a tour from the Oliver Guy. Enjoy the tour and information thank you. Happy Fathers Day.

[@ThatOliverGuyChris]

Thank you, Scruffy.

[@wademills1616]

I’m going to hopefully see two of the Oliver Chilled Plow tractors on 2-23-24.

[@roberthocking9138]

A great video and great memories of your dad.

[@gmcjimmy3580]

Well I was trying to say that 77 sounds excellent 👍, I would leave it unrestored, it makes her look like she's put her time in working the field.

[@ThatOliverGuyChris]

Hopefully the original owners see this video. It's happened with a couple other tractors in my collection.

[@danielj3440]

The video we've all be waiting for!

[@ExploreAmerica]

I appreciate your time and knowledge

[@johndavidstutts]

We had a 60 with mounted planter and culavater. I culavated many an acre with it an raked lots of hay on the 60

[@lynnhavenfarm8514]

Newer subscriber, I really enjoy the tour. We have a 770 Diesel

[@ghenry85]

Happy father's day to you! Would you mind discussing the machines that you still want? Let's say at the end of the conclusion of this series. I find the idea intriguing. Just and idea. Love the look of the fleetliines! Great video!

[@ThatOliverGuyChris]

I like that idea.

[@7viewerlogic670]

Thanks for the video! Fix the crawler!

[@49commander]

My dad always says you have a lot of money tied up if everything had a full tank of gas and a good battery in them! Plus gas and batteries are perishable. Love your collection.

[@bobtuckosh9870]

Very interesting, and enjoyable video

[@ThatOliverGuyChris]

Many thanks!

[@peterhaan9068]

I too find that patina looks better and better as I get older. I have the same feeling about dust as I have gotten older. Why there's some dust that I could sit down with and have a beer!

[@littlerougue]

I wasn't going to watch a 52 minute video but really glad I did so much packed in there including a nice little Oliver history lesson.

[@ThatOliverGuyChris]

Thanks. In retrospect I should have broke it up into a couple videos.

[@teebugg66]

Very nice collection!

[@ThatOliverGuyChris]

Thanks!

[@johnirwin1837]

Enjoyed you collection. Dad bought a new 88 in March of '49. I was not quit 3 years old. Electric over hyd. 2 remotes. They worked good till the late '60's. Dad put a loader on it. That was fun with no power steering. That tractor is still in the family . My brother has it since He came along in March of '49 too.

[@randyisthechase5008]

Man,, hearing that engine run and driving around brings back so many memories, I could almost smell the fumes. Thanks!

[@chrisbueckmann9989]

Ah the farmer fix 2×4 ! Raked a lot of hay with a 77 row crop with that innovation! Thanks for the tour enjoyed it.

[@eb17816]

Leave the 77 standard in her work clothes. She looks great.

[@sterff8990]

Thanks for taking the time to show and tell the story on the tractors! Very entertaining! I especially liked the 80s sitting in the weeds.

[@Adam_Poirier]

I have been waiting for this since I found your channel a couple years ago haha. Thanks for taking the time to do this Chris. One of the coolest tractor collections I’ll probably ever see in my life

[@ThatOliverGuyChris]

Thank you for watching!

[@Adam_Poirier]

That Oliver Guy - Chris Losey my pleasure. It’s so cool you have tractors that you restored with your dad. Those are memories that last forever.

[@johndavidstutts]

We also had a old john deere hammer mill we ran with it and a 77. Good times now, lots of work then.

[@gmanchurch]

Really love these videos of these old Oliver tractors and equipment! Unscripted and straight from the heart! Thanks so much Chris Losey for sharing your knowledge with others! Gonna have to order me some stuff from Teespring!

[@ThatOliverGuyChris]

Thanks, I appreciate it!

[@billsitser5639]

Awesome video far as I'm concerned the best thing that ever come out of the UK is a Perkins motor other than there overrated for power but the simplest Motors all Perkins and those pumps were so simple your mechanically inclined anybody can fix them have a great friend of mine put 25000 hours on Industrial forklift built by load lifter the thing was puking more fuel through the pump that was burned I also have the same machines I have them because I don't need a mechanic to fix them awesome video

[@edcrego396]

Thanks so much I really appreciate and enjoyed the video ,,,sorry it must of been a little hard for you t do this you have so many memories of your father ,I enjoyed the video my uncle a dairy Farmer from Corunna Michigan farmer with all Oliver's I grew up set on his lap riding while he was cultivating not sure of all the models he had there was a steel wheeled later on I helped out with the cultivating bailing hay and so on,,,am I right Oliver became famous with there cold rolled plow because they had figured out to case harden cold rolled steel that would last longer ,our something like that I have deep feelings for Oliver dad owned one,, a White it was the best thing that ever happened to our farm a real work horse!!! Thanks again Chris

[@ThatOliverGuyChris]

Oliver invented the Chilled Plow. It was a cast steel moldboard, and with their chilling process the outer layer was hardened while the center stay soft and flexible. Not only did it make it stronger and last longer, the bottoms scoured (shined up) better than regular steel. If the soil sticks to the bottom, it takes more power to pull, and Chilled Plow scoured very well. Later on Oliver did move on to rolled steel moldboards, using their hardening techniques to make them durable as well. In the 1920s, Oliver developed the throw away share and called it the Raydex, with the idea being it sliced through the soil like a razor blade. They even had a promotion where they gave away a set of razor blades to promote their plows. Those are hard to come by.

[@montecasler215]

Thanks for the tour my wife was 3rd generation to work at the plant so her grandmother and father have put parts in these tractors. I showed him your video on fathers day and he loved it - he is about to turn 88

[@ThatOliverGuyChris]

Cool! Did they work in Charles City?

[@johndeere-jh1pd]

Thank you for the walk down memory lane great job sir

[@stephenfonder7409]

Happy Father's day Chris! Thanks for the tour.

[@ThatOliverGuyChris]

Thanks, Stephen!

[@christinamoneyhan5688]

Chris you should open a museum and charge a nominal amount to help with restorations. Open on weekends with a snack bar. You might just be surprised who showed up. Put on one or two tours per day. Just my two cents.

[@Fieldman12]

Great video!

[@alanwessels8925]

Thanks Chris! We have pictures of my Mom and Dad standing next to their new 88 from factory!!😊. A picture of each standing in front of it! Plowed a lot of acres with 3-14's. Dad had M&Ws put in ours. Had between 55-60 horse then! A lot in early 50's. Had a 66 also! Love videos.

[@ThatOliverGuyChris]

Thank you for watching!

[@ssnydertrucking1121]

WOW!! What a trip back in time, thanks for the video really enjoyed it.

[@jeffgroce9736]

My granddad had a super 88 tricycle diesel it had both electric and manual hydraulic and band brakes didn't even know it was for sale till after it was gone then found out he sold it . Them a fee years later I found a standard 88 it still runs but needs engine rebuilt . There use to be a Oliver dealer 10 miles from here and still 5 Oliver tractors left here locally. Thanks for the video

[@shaneharrison4775]

Love your collection my pop had an Oliver AG 6 dozer or crawler as it were I loved working with it but when he passed others made sure everything was liquidated befor he got to ground but I did love working with his equipment

[@loonauticus]

Love all the tractors!! the history and the stories, Love it Chris! Thanks for all of it!

[@ExploreAmerica]

Thanks

[@jongreen2966]

Great history. love seeing those great machines. Remember my uncle had a 60 with a canvas seat. He lived in Camden.

[@donaldwhite2744]

Chris, I'm 70 years old now, but grew up on a '37 Oliver Hart Parr 70 that had rubber on front and the tip-toe wheels on back. Family at that time converted it to rear 38 inch rubber and added 5th and 6th gears. I currently own a '52 Oliver Fleetline 66, no hydraulic, but power lift and independent PTO.

[@ThatOliverGuyChris]

Awesome. Thanks for commenting.

[@rswany16]

It would definitely be cool to see that crawler out working again. Thanks for the tour, i can't wait until the next one! I thought that my family had a lot of tractors (minneapolis molines) but not near as many as you, i think we have around 40 minnie mo's.

[@chrishultman9333]

Wow, you really are the Oliver guy!

[@wyattdean5658]

Cool video

[@merrymanrc]

Just think those older tractor got lot of history.

[@jdman520]

Very nice loving the collection. Loving the history behind them too. Thanks for taking the time to make all these videos!

[@SchnelleKat]

Very neat collection, quite shocked to hear you have a couple 80s those are tough to find & I love the idea of restoring the 88 industrial, keep the loader on it. Makes for a great look, forgot to mention that 77 standard haha funny "custom 2x4 farmer installed Shock" lol runs real smooth. Oh and I've love to have a 80 or 99. But they must be TOUGH to find in Michigan??? I haven't looked. Open to others. I would love an Orchard.

[@ThatOliverGuyChris]

The 2 80s have been around here as long as I can remember. I don't know any back story on them. The 99s seem to have to wander in from out west, I don't know of any that were found in Michigan, but I'd bet there are a few out there.

[@randyhees3354]

Awesome collection, always loved Minneapolis moline, Oliver, and White

[@markleman8649]

you have an excellent collection of Oliver tractors ( but you already know that ) and you certainly know your olivers, thanks for the video.

[@Ashcrash82]

Really nice collection. I grew up in an area that heavily favored red and the "other" green tractors. A few Allis's around a once in a while a blue Ford. However, I did do a considerable amount of work on a local cattleman's farm in High School that had several olivers and a few Whites (2-105, 2-135). They had 2 or maybe 3 77s that were the light duty rigs, a 1650 w/loader, and my all time favorite tractor of theirs, a 1655. That 1655 had wide front, flat top fenders, and was an absolute joy. I fell in love with the over/direct/under transmission, it was fantastic compared to the straight gear drive (1-4, hi-lo) IH's we had on our farm. I also liked that it would smoke a bit when you pulled it a little hard, although the owner gave me a stern talking to about that, so I had to back off a bit...

[@66Oliver]

Thanks for the tour Chris! You’ve certainly got the collection.

[@jeramy2398]

Thats a truly impressive fleet of tractors. I have always wanted an older oliver since I seen my first 1 with the side panels at a tractor pull. I do like the patina when it looks like work clothes not living behind barn in weeds.

[@roberthemphill8588]

Wow what a Great Collection. And I bet taking care of all the Tractors keeps you busy. Thanks for the video!

[@rustybuttrusty9960]

Thanks Chris. you made a great fathers day even better. Looking forward to the next part

Im definitely enjoying the videos! Growing up the neighbor had 2 Oliver 60's. 1 had a straight gear shift with i think a 4 speed, and the other had a curved shifter, and a 6 speed. I always liked the 4 speed better. Keep up the videos!

[@ThatOliverGuyChris]

It was still uploading when I went to bed last night. It turned out way longer than I thought it would once I got all the clips put together.

[@GosselinFarmsEdGosselin]

@@ThatOliverGuyChris LOL.. ya, way longer than I thought.. I got about 20 minutes 😁👍

[@robertheinkel6225]

Growing up, my dad had two tractors. A 66 gas that was a dealer demonstrator, and a brand new 77 diesel. My uncle had a couple of "A"s, and we would help the neighbor wha had a H and M. I may be prejudiced, but I would take the my Olivers any day. My brother still has the 66, while the 77 went to a collector. I did crush my brothers foot with the power lift on the 66. Not much clearance between the arm and platform.

[@ThatOliverGuyChris]

Ouch! I hope he healed up ok.

[@robertheinkel6225]

That Oliver Guy - Chris Losey He was in a cast for awhile, but healed. Later on, while he was driving the 77, we were fighting, and I lost my grip, hit the rear tire, and the tire pulled me by the legs between the fender and tire, dumping me in front of the rolling tire. I rolled to the middle, to miss the tire, at the same time my brother topped and backed up missing the front tires. I had to have a couple of large blood clots removed from one from the crushing injuries. Sometimes I figured we were lucky to survive our childhood, but I would do it all again in a heartbeat.

[@johngreasamar7730]
