Oliver 840 chopper. Again.

Well, it seems that this thing is up for sale
again. Just wanted to share, in case any of you
were looking for one.

I"m not related, nor do I have any interest in, the
sale of this thing; they are rather rare, however!

A guy near me has one tucked in the shed. It has the 440 Chrysler on it. I'd hate to haul gas to that beast in good corn.

Seems like they had a 361 Chrysler Industrial, looks like a 440 from the outside.

In the article Heritage Iron had awhile back it was the choice of 440, herc gas and herc diesel.

I have no idea what engine they had but HI mag has a LOT of mistakes in ever issue

I can only imagine how much gasoline that thing must use, in heavy crop. I would imagine 10-12 gallons per hour. Eeeek.

On the other hand, it is nice to be able to open your own field. Finding a diesel one would be neat as heck!

Would be a nice piece to collect, but not use --I have a Fox SPF with a B427 Continental -flat head - that had a second gasoline tank added -They fuel consumption would be high! I also have a a Super D with a Continental overhead valve gasser as well - not sure of the CI"s.I got it from the original owner -a guy that used to haul wagons for him told me the manifold and exhaust would glow red when chopping at night -would have been a sight to see!!
