@@ThatOliverGuyChris If all those Supers get to be too much of a burden to do start ups and maintenance, just let me know and maybe a can take a tractor (or more) off your hands to make your life easier. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@pagrainfarmer , maybe they should be like exchange students. They go away for a year, and some other tractor comes in to take their place for the year.
I was surprised that when your dad competed in other countries, a tractor was supplied to him. I wondered how he got his 88 to those events and now that question is answered. Wheat can’t be far off for you, neighbor started yesterday.
Grandpa coached 3 locals to national championships. One time they sent an Oliver 550 and a plow to Ireland. When they went to Italy I think they only sent a plow. The first time dad went to the world competition he took a brand new 770 and a plow, but that was just outside Toronto so transport was fairly easy.
I think I talk about it in one of my videos, but when they shipped the 550, they took it to Detroit to get put in a container and sent to Ireland. When they got over there the day before , they found that some dock workers had disassembled the tractor quite a bit to get it in a smaller container. It showed up at the competition in pieces. The officials got them a generator and lights and they spent the night putting the tractor back together so the could use it in practice the next morning . Good thing grandpa had brought his tools!
Why am i not surprised with the meadow green trailer. All it needs is some decals. Great video chris and thanks for taking the time to showcase these beautiful machines
Starting the super 77 brought back memories. We had a regular 77 that fired off that quick after sitting out all winter. Was a great old tractor. Love the videos.
Cool! I guess you’ll have to start the rest of the tractors next week if your wheat isn’t ready haha. I’d like to see how you make battery cables when you get around to it.
Great collection of the Super series Chris. That Super 55 is what I believe my neighbour had and it was the main tractor on their farm. They were still using it in the mid 80s when I left home. Take care & stay safe. Cheers
Lots of great old Olivers, what a collection, and they sound great. Love seeing all those oldies but goodies, the oldest one I have is a 1963 Massey Ferguson 65, my first tractor that I bought in 1991. Sadly all my dad's old tractors were sold for either parts or for other things. The very first tractor I drove was a Farmall H, he had a few John Deere's, a couple of Allis Chalmers' and an Oliver. Never got a chance to get any of those, my dad was always trading and moving stuff around, oh well that's how it goes. Nice one Chris, enjoyed all those Olivers. Have an awesome week.
Thanks for the video Chris. Enjoyed the old super series spend many an hour seat time on them. That old 44 cracks like an old me in the morning lol. Have a blessed say
I was SUPER excited when I seen the title of this one love seeing the old stuff….I really want a 44 or 440 for my little hobby farm but that’s prolly not gonna happen lol
Always a treat to see and hear your collection Chris. As much as I like the bigger diesels, there's something about those smaller gas 4 bangers that I really enjoy.
It might have to do that. Last year Alan was here and we used the 66 diesel and the 660 in the same field. There's video of it on my channel., somewhere.
You mentioned something a video or 2 ago about liking the start ups, and that inspired me to do this one. I needed to do it anyways to keep them limbered up, so I'm glad you mentioned it.
Another great Sunday morning start up of history. We had our super 66 diesel out for the 4th July this now the fuel pump is leaking faster than it burns the fuel. I'd love to see get that super 99 out on plow I love listening to them Jimmy's work
Love watching these old Supers run, I’d also second the comment about making battery cables. If you like Sea Foam give Berryman B-12 a try. It’s basically the same stuff, works good and it’s half the price. Cheers.
I love your collection of supers! I really would like to some day have both a super 77 and super 88 diesels. If you ever get the time and feel like it, I would love to see your three digit Olivers putting in some work. The three digits have to be my favorite series from Oliver, the 550, 660, 770, 880, 990 just get me motivated. If I lived closer I would volunteer to do oil changes for you just to get to learn more about Olivers and see you collection in person.
Thanks! I know there's some video of the 550, 660, 770 and 990 on here. I bought new front tires for the 440, so that should be getting out in the near future. The 880 needs a new set of manifolds to run right.
@@ThatOliverGuyChris if only I were your neighbor. I'm a disabled guy and try to keep busy. Don't much have the budget to buy and work on my own machines, I get a tractor every few years to work on if I'm lucky.
Just got through mowing a 15 acre field with my 1855 that I told you about runs beautiful but it's got a John Deere 10:15 11 ft bush hog because oliver her doesn't have nothing that big at this time lol
You made me go start are super 77 and 88 gas , my dad loved the fleetline tractors we have a 77 diesel n 88 one as well . We took the 88 gas for a crop check me n the wife , I stopped She wanted to pick some wild chicory purple flower here that grows , she came back to the tractor and I had my head down crying, she ask what was wrong, just memories of my dad n grandpa , some people don't understand tractors n dirt. I am sure you do . The steps on the fleetlines that bolt to the axles I have several sets couple have tool box under the step, was these factory or something else . Seafoam is good stuff , so is that diesel treatment. From turkey creek farms have a blessed day
I know what you mean. A good family friend that helped on our farm passed away last fall. He always sat in the same spot for the 4th of July parade, so I as I approached that area on my tractor last week, I was starting to get choked up thinking about him not being there. His whole family was, and that made it much better.
Our 88 has the 2 steps on the axle. According to my dad(74), they was made by Knoedler company, think they did short line equipment and accessories. Hope that helps
@@jimkavalier2831 thanks I found several sets in a tractor bone yard . It's sad they were scraping everything . We filled a 32 ft goose neck trailer as much as we could get on it , so was the truck bed and floorboards of the truck . Wished we could of saved more
No, I haven't done that yet. The ends in the 1855 are in pretty good shape, so I'm going to leave those alone. The 1600 needs at least 1, so I will be doing it eventually.
@@ThatOliverGuyChris awsome both of ends on my 1850 are bad bought the parts not sure how it put back together because everything is either broken or missing it’s a hot mess like your videos a lot thanks
At one place I worked we sold chain saws, leaf blowers, and bush trimmers, well you get the idea, 2-stroke stuff. Customers would want to use them after sitting for a long time and they would not start. So we would fix them. 1st, drain all of the old fuel out and add new fresh mix, and 2nd add a cap full of SeaFoam. 3rd, Install new sparkplug. 4th, take it outside, spray a mist of WD-40 into the carb intake and pull the rope. After a couple of pulls, it should start. Keep spraying enough WD-40 into the intake to keep it running and get it revving up. It should very quickly start to run without the WD-40. Run it till it runs and starts well, put a new air filter in it, covers back on, and wipe it clean using Armorall. Set it out for customers to pick up. At that time it was $25 for cleaning the carb and tuning up. Time involved? Maybe 10 minutes.
Do a google search for Kent Gordon in Palestine Texas. He has a place that will rebuild your cylinder. I broke a rod on my 550 last year. He said no problem. I just need to take it off and send it to him.
I find that today’s gasoline is less than good quality. If I just left it for the off season in my lawnmower, snowblower, power washer, garden tractor, and classic car, they would be hard to start, and no power, that is if they started at all. I have good luck using a fuel stabilizer additive in the last tank of fuel for the season. The equipment usually starts trouble free the next season.
They did, but not many. There's some in the UK, and there seems to be some in the Netherlands. I have seen auctions where the auctioneer said sold, bound for Europe, so the number must be going up.
Patience. You've got youth on your side, and all of us old guys aren't going to be around forever. Some of us, myself included, are glad there are young people like you to carry on the interest in these great machines.. And also a hat.
I’m the same way man, 21 and not enough money to buy the toys I want. Like Oliver’s and Farmalls. Chris is right though a hat is a good start. I’ll have to pick one up!

There seems to be a correlation between usefulness and startability around my place. I like my Super 44 and plan on keeping it, but with no hydraulics and a slightly bent PTO shaft, there's not much a guy can do with it.
the 1ST thing U need 2 do is take the starter off and have it rebuilt most places can do in less than a days time and change the tractor over 2 /12 volt those old 6 volt batteries don't have much cranking power OMG 4 14 2O23
