    Now that's a great sight to see. A family giving their kid a real responsibility and a job. That kid may think it's the norm for him but it is so rare these days. Parents shouldn't not be so scared of letting their kids do work like this. I am not just talking about farmers but all parents need to not be afraid of letting them try new things and giving them a responsibility. Most parents are to concerned with being there friends than a little discipline. Things have changed alot over the past 40 years and there's a line between using a kid for labor than teaching them responsibility how ever most of that died off with my grandparents generation alot of them were worked to hard and parents were more bosses than a loving parent. I am getting away from my point but I have been told from many people throughout the last decade that the downfall of this country was the death of the small American farm, and now that I am a adult and the older I get the more I realize that this is the truth. I am not talking about farms that need to make a profit but even small hobbies farms and even just having chickens or horses we have gotten so that the kids growing up learn almost nothing about hard work and what it takes and the responsibility it takes to have animals.

      Yes Sam, I agree. But we both know the young man enjoys working with the equipment and the animals and the parents are happy and proud that they can provide an education on the farm that many young kids don't get nowadays. I sure enjoyed working on the farm when I was a young.

    Oliver tractors were also manufactured in Brazil under license by the CBT brand. They were excellent tractors and worked in several sugar mills, always equipped with Mercedes Benz engines. The company started operating in 1959 in the municipality of Ibaté, manufacturing engines and parts, representing and assembling the tractors of the brand Oliver and later Oliver-CBT. In 1961, he inaugurated his new plant in the district of Água Vermelha, in São Carlos, to assemble the tractors with the CBT brand.

    • @dieselman8v923
      @dieselman8v923 5 років тому +1

      Rare side shift? You mean custom. The shift lever in the video was never a factory option but a common modification made by farmers for easier use. Same goes for the park lever, the one in the video has been lengthened quite a bit. Definitely a sweet tractor though.

    • @66Oliver
      @66Oliver 5 років тому +1

      Dieselman8v92 I hate to argue, but that indeed is a factory option, and has been since the 50 series. Parking lever, I can agree with.
      Edit: You’re right, the bends in the shift lever look like factory, but aren’t (honestly I kinda think they screwed both those levers up) - but the shift lever option still was indeed an option.

    Got to drive an 1850 this past August. Was such a nice tractor! (Had Front wheel assist). Got to drive it in a parade through town that that the club had (no one knew about it as far as police but this town is so cool. A cop passed by. And turned around to block traffic for us.
    On the way back I switched driving back to the show grounds and had the touchiest steering ever.... although I had just gotten of a 1916 Case 50 steam traction engine that I need to turn the steering wheel like a mad man go get the steering to change a little!

    The Waukesha engines in the 55 series was terrible. At least the turbocharged versions, the 18 and 1955s. Very few of them lived a long life if they were ever worked hard. They didn't have the capacity to cool the engine oil enough and under heavy load they would overheat the oil then the bottom end would explode. Too bad since the rest of the tractor is stout. This is why cummins swaps are a thing in these tractors.
