I think i found a 77 Orchard. I was curious how many were made. Did all have the full skirts? Whats a going rate for a good running one with side panels but no skirts? Thanks

I havent seen the tractor yet. they guy sent me pix. The steering wheel sits lower than the standards ive seen and the lights in the front sit down low like an orchard tractor. Does anyone know production numbers?
 


The Oliver fleetline and super orchard tractors could be ordered with the full wheel covers or the standard style of fenders. You don't see many with the standard fenders, or as a friend of mine from Canada calls them, a "Low Standard".

Without tha full fenders (Low Standard) the orchard tractor weighed 245 pounds less and cost $100.00 less than the regular orchard tractor.

We can't see the rear of your tractor, so we can't tell if it has the correct standard/orchard fenders.

I am sure that there is a collector out there that will now try to build one. One word of caution, you need a special bracket (part # 1 M- 868 A) to mount the standard fenders to the orchard rear axle.
 
He went to look at an 88 standard. Send him an e-mail. I also read your 4020 vs 1600 post. You are not comparing apples to apples
 
The tractor could also be ordered with the fenders and covers but without the operators cowl (at least in the Fleetlines could). This would be like a 70 orchard which did not have the operators cowl from the factory.
 
The "wheatland" didn't come out until the Supers did it? It wasn't the same as a standard. The standard had short axles and smaller tires. The "wheatland used the row crop axles with a heavier fixed front axle,more sheetmetal and larger tires than the "standard". I think "standard" production ended when the "wheatland" started.
 
The operators manuals (Super, Fleetline and 770/880) I have do not show (inside front cover shows the various models) a model designated as a Wheatland until the you get to the 770 and 880 models. In on the 770 and 880's the Wheatland models use 30" rear tires (not the 34" and 38" rears used on row crops) and a front axle from a standard. So far, I have not found an operators manual or literature that refers to the fixed (non-adjustable) front axle row crop models as "Wheatlands". Not completely conclusive, but not bad references either.

I would love to see documentation showing an earlier usage for the term "Wheatland" for the 77's and 88's..
 
I was going by the article in HPOCA magazine on,I think is was the Super 77s earlier this past year. It said the Standards were discontinued and the Wheatland models were based on the Row Crop Supers,using the longer Row Crop axles and such.
 
The following link (if it works) will take you to a photo of an 880 Wheatland. It does not use row crop axles and housings on the rear or a fixed row crop axle on the front..
Oliver 880 Wheatland
 
OK,I went back and read that part of that article. It wasn't a "wheatland" Super. They called it a Row Crop Standard Front Axle. The real "wheatland" came out with the 3 digits like you said. But the standards were discontinued by then. The only "standard" supers were the industrials and orchards. But the original point is the same. The standard and wheatland weren't the same,acording to that article anyway.
