- Here's another plowing video I saved for winter time. We were quite dry at that point in August, so the plow was constantly tripping bottoms or not going in the ground very well. I made a few rounds and then quit to wait for some rain. Still, it was fun to finally try the 1955 out on a moldbard plow. Think Spring!
Love that cast iron grill i like how you have one with cab for crapy weather even though most of the time its nicee with open air tractors. But in nasty weather cabs are great
One thing about the auto replies, you could leave it on 14 or switch a few bolts around on top of the frame and put it over to a 16. Very good idea. They had a lot of good ideas ahead of their time on a lot of things I still got two plows.
Nicely restored to working order and good power.
A little moisture to free up the clods and all will be well with the world.
Thanks for sharing
Nice Chris brings back a lot of memories, I've plowed with 2&3 bottom trailer trip bottoms,4 bottom hydraulic reset 3 pt.hitch, 5&6 bottom spring reset 3 pt. Had to back springs off first year with spring reset pulling to
many big rocks. That's what backhoe is for. Great video! Faster to dig out rocks than fix the plow!
Yep. In 2012 I had a plow day, and afterwards I took my skid steer out with the pallet forks and popped out rocks where I could see someone had hit one. I got over 30 that were 3 feet across or larger, as well as some really old plow shares.
It's a small world I'm in Gaines Michigan. I've never seen a front assist 1955 Oliver what a nice tractor.
Great looking 1955👍
I can remember my dad plowing years ago, 4/14 Cockshutt plow. Cockshutt 40 on the plow and a 44 Massey hooked to it with with a chain. Neighbor ask him “Where did he find such a stiff chain?”.
Thanks for the trip down memory lane! We had an 1855, I loved that tractor, wasn't hard on the ears,(no cab), you could ride her all day and not have your ears ringing. We didn't have very good luck though, we were pulling 6x16, semi-mounted onland hitch plow, I was so happy to be out the furrow!! LOL!! Our 1855 didn't have an oil cooler, and she didn't know when she was working, burned the engine up 3 times. Rich finally put it on the dyno, and she was pulling 125 hp. not a lot for the 1955 with the oil cooler, but way to much for the 1855.
Nice rig Chris very good paint on the 1955
Nice tractor! Pretty sweet that came from cohochtah originally, about 5 miles from my farm.
Well, she done er😎
Sunny and dry... Then🤣😂👍
Thanks for the video Chris!
It was a very nice day, just kinda dry.
@@ThatOliverGuyChris plows much better with a little moisture 😎
Hey Chris I just want to say I think your 1955 is my favorite tractor that you have!! Herman is really cool and so are your 2150 and 2255 MFWD tractors. But I am very partial to 1955s. Another great video. Thanks
Thank you!
Great to see the ole hoss is moving some dirt!
Love your videos. Love the FWD 1955. Keep the videos coming......
Thanks!
Raised on a John Deere farm but the old girl sounds excellent. Good find.
Love to see old iron at work. Wonder how well GPS works backing up and resetting plow.
I had a five bottom pool, tight plow, one time and sold it to my neighbor good plow, but they don’t plow much more now in Iowa
Great video, love to see that old equipment working.
Plan with a 618 variable with plow would extend out to 20 to 622 but Ridge the lot cut it down to 18 5 miles an hour just as smooth as could be
I enjoyed your video. You certainly have some rocky ground.
Im so use to non trip plows on my little 9N ford. That it looks maddening every time it trips to me. But like you said trip em or change points. The trade off. Thanks for the vid
Never had a on land plow pulled many 5-16 slow process but sure did look nice when done.
There are a lot of rocks in that field!
It's not my worst one either.
Boy! Looks like some hard ground
Beautiful set up.
The 'ol 1955 looks to be due for an over hual! I recently learned that the 5.9l Cummins in our 1955 is natuaraly aspirated which makes it pretty rare. The 2-155 is coming along and still waiting to be put back together. Keep on farmin!
Actually, that engine probably has less than 100 hours since I went through it. Must be I messed something up. :)
Not trying to be rude but there isn't really anything rare about a cummins powered oliver or a naturally aspirated 5.9l
Yeah that's fine I know that now
Maybe! Looks a bit smoky
Fun fact my dad put that engine in it in 1989 when he worked at the local Oliver dealership
Glad we have a 448 white spring trip I am in the thumb and have just enough rocks to drive ya nuts with a non spring reset.
I've got a 6 bottom on land 588 with Auto reset, but it is set up for Category 3, my 1955 can't hook up to it.
Man that is a cool tractor!
Thanks!
Nice video can’t wait for more
I surely don’t miss plowing with that style trip I love my automatic spring resets
Nothing like the purr of a turbocharged 310, I had a 1950-T that ran circles around my 2-135!
R.E. Peckens was my great grandfather, his son Richard was my grandfather and lived in Fowlerville Michigan
That is cool. I've got a few things we bought at the auction when they closed.
Kinda looks like the hogs been rooten. I've seen in the fall the grounds so hard that You couldn,t get the plows to go in. You had to have good points. Then You be movin along and they'd come right out of the ground.
Nice shine on the plows
Our sandy soil can shine up about any moldboard.
Playing in the dirt is 6-8 weeks off for me, this has me thinking about planting season.
We still have snow on the ground here. We've got a few weeks as well.
I owned a 5 bottom Oliver plow with 14" bottoms that I bought from Capital City Oliver in Austin. It was a great balanced plow. It pulled easier than my Dad's JD 4 bottom with 16" bottoms. I never understood why but it really did pull easier.
Darn good old tractor. Looks like u could pull least couple more bottoms
I would say that the 2 -155 in same class as this tractor would be good to do side by side thanks for video
Fred F 105 horsepower at the PTO vs 155? And a 310 turbo Waukesha vs a 478 Hercules? No. Not even close
Is it me or is the trips a bit "weak"? I understand the ground may be hard but, from what I'm seeing, it seems more like the trip mechanism is weak. It's the same moldboard that's tripping.
That 1955 sure is purring good, love the sounds of the old Oliver's. That 1955 doesn't even know the plow is there. Great video, cheers :)
I had set the trips a little loose to try to save on shares. I only moldbord for fun, so no point in breaking things. I measured spring lengths and set them all the same. I bet one of the springs on that bottom is weak.
Nice D___m rocks👍👍
G'day Chris
Hello Murphy!
I love them old Detroit diesels
??
Dick Peckins, the R E Peckins this tractor was originally sold by, passed away just about the time this video was released.
I'm sorry to hear that.
Did they ever put a sequence valve in the lift circuit on that plow? I've had days in the summer that the spring resets just wouldn't stay put ! Better plowing in the spring! Thanks for putting it up Chris
They never had a sequence valve that I know of, but that is a good idea. I thought about splitting the front and rear cylinders, but then I have to have 3 remotes on whatever is pulling it.
My dad had a 1955 in about 1976 with the farmer cab, not as nice as yours
A good plow, it turns the soil good.
Oliver Guy: Are you the same Chris Losey that worked at Pepsi in the early 80's?
Nope, never worked for Pepsi, plus I was a teenager then.
Beautiful tractor!!! Are you familiar with the Moline G955? My grandfather bought one new in 74ish, I was wondering your thoughts on them? Is the rear half of your 1955 the same as a G955?
The G955 was Oliver in the back and Moline in the front. I have almost zero experience with MM tractors, so I guess I can really say how good or bad they were.
AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME! I watched this the other night and dreamed of plowing all night! Are you coming to Colo Iowa to bid on that 2150 on March19? I'd bet Mike will be there. I'm thinking of taking the day off work, Olivers on auction are legit reasons to take PTO, right?
I guess my Oliver sense is lagging, I had to look that one up. Looks like a good auction to go to, but I'm sure my schedule isn't going to allow it. It's right in Mike's back yard, I'll see if he knows about it. I couldn't even find a picture of the 2150 online, maybe it will be a buyer's paradise. You'd better be sick that day!
@@ThatOliverGuyChris Yeah, maybe I'll run down there some time after work and try to grab pictures. Hmmmm... I probably should go. We'll see I guess!
It would make for great youtube material if nothing else.
If you are looking for Oliver parts and any and all information Oliver look up Suchomski equipment in pinckneyville Illinois talk to jeff
Your bottoms were tripping a lot you must be Plowing some rocky Clay
Not much clay, but lots of rocks.
Im slugging away on my 283 overhaul and im having the worst luck so far the engine kit has had a broken sleeve oring, a rod bearing with no babbit, and the head gasket has a defective area... im getting the idea the universe doesn't want this 283 to live again
Is it a Reliance kit?
@@ThatOliverGuyChris i hate to say i think it's just a lemon i have used 2 other reliance kits and the worked great
Stuff happens. As long as they make it right is the important thing.
@@ThatOliverGuyChris they have been great so far i just found the head gasket calling them Monday
You didn't have to run the front wheel assist did you?.
I engaged the fwa, just something I always do. But that will make for a good future video, showing the difference between 2 and 4 wheel drive.
How do you decide when to moldboard or chisel plow? In the mid 80s my family switched to chisel plow and never went back.
This is recreational tillage, purely just for fun. I was also changing the direction I work a field, and I figured plowing it would get the bumps going in the right direction.
@@ThatOliverGuyChris would you want a 2-135 parts tractor?
Not at this time, but thanks for asking.
How to farm on a budget. Versus spending almost $300,000.00 for a new similar tractor and another $80,000.00 for a new similar plow. End result is the same plowed field...... I like my old iron and all I do is clear on improve my land. My $30,000.00 dozer does just as good as it's $160,000.00 new version.
How far can you throw fuel
All the way.
Where did you get your cab kit same cab as my 2255 I need one
Im pretty sure I got it from Ag Parts First.
@@ThatOliverGuyChris thanks
What is plowing gear in the 1950
I was using 3rd, I think direct most of the time.
You running in 3rd over?
I did some, but tried to stay in direct to soften the blow from the rocks.
Any updates on the 2-155 chris ?
Been editing video, hoping to have it up Sunday morning.
@@ThatOliverGuyChris thanks ! Been following the 2-155 rebuild, very intresting... hope to see it running in the fields this spring...
I'm looking forward to it too. It will probably do some of the 4-225's work this spring to give it a good load and get it broke in right. I caught a nasty cold last weekend, so between that and my daughter being in the State FFA band, I got very little done on it this week. Fortunately, I have footage to use from last week.
How many horses does it have
I think it came out at 105. Here's a video of it on the dyno

Thanks its a cool looking machine
Parece um trator da CBT
I take it 1955 is not when it was made, looks too modern.
Correct, it's a 1974 model year, last year they were made.
