My boss just bought two tractors from an acquaintance down the road. One is an Oliver diesel. I have tried reading old posts and looking at pictures in an attempt to identify it, but still cannot figure it out. Also, I cant find a data plate on either the engine or chassis. Here is what I think I know: It has a torsion spring seat, hydraulic unit, and the placard says that it has 6 forward speeds and two reverses (high/low double H pattern with one shift lever). The grills and side sheets are missing, but it has the sheet metal like the 66, 77, super 66, and super 77, with the darker green paint and cast wheel centers which are p4ainted red. I also noticed that it does not have the flat cultivator mounting pads on the sides of the frame like a super 88. Also, the injection pump would prevent the left side sheet from closing if the side sheet did not have cutouts for the sides of the engine. It is in what I would call "very rough original condition," with the dealer sticker still somewhat visible on the hood but no legible number on the front of the frame.
