There is this whole long argument between me and about four other guys on YouTube right now because this one moron keeps insisting that Oliver tractors were built out of surplus David Brown parts. He said his dad and grandfather worked for DB and they even told him so. Needless to say he is loosing badly, but I thought it was kinda funny. Some people make you wonder sometimes.
 
Kinda true really?

DB used whatever they had as a bit of a surplus to get the cheapest quotation for supplying a gap in the Oliver line-up?

Maybe not all the reality of the situation, but could explain why DB supplied Oliver, just like the Fiat derivatives and later the Japanese influence. Oliver/White were looking for the cheapest line-fillers they could source?

Question that might arise is: Would DB have found time to supply Oliver, if their own order books with British farmers was rammed full?

Well do you know what a model 500 & 600 Oliver is? On the surplus parts, the 500 was available with a gas engine here which was a dead issue over in the U-K just like the 1250 gas was a dead issue with Fiat in Europe.
 
Yea I know about the 5 and 600's. This guy was saying that the whole line from the 70 to the 2255 was all David Brown parts.
 
Werent some parts of the 60 and 80 American series 1655 parts? I thought I had heard that anyway. Why would they use David Brown parts to make an American tractor that many years later. Boy I have to chuckle at him thinking that. I had someone "disagree" with me on the heritage MM / Oliver series. He said he had a 2-150 White and someone had an MM that was a couple years newer as it was a bicentennial model. I politely said they had come out with the heritage models in 69 or 70. He paused and said...well his was a couple years newer as it was the bicenennial model....
