Oliver 77 value?

M-Farm · Mar 25, 2015

Looking for an Oliver 77 or 88, just want one. Anyway, I would like to run a disc and possibly a sickle mower if I could find one for this type tractor, but mostly just want it because it looks cool sitting on the farm.

Here is the only one I have found lately:

Last year I only saw a few and they usually ask around 2k for them, though I think that is kind of high compared to equal quality Farmall's I can pickup for cheaper. Not trying to start a debate over what is better, I just think they are comparable, and Farmall's are easier to price.

So, what is the going rate? Thanks in advance!

New tires and has the side curtains,but otherwise it's looks pretty beat up and butchered. I'd say $1500 at most.

Farmalls are cheaper because they exist almost 2 to 1 of the Olivers. In my area, a similar condition M would only be about an $800
tractor, you would be buying the tires and get a free tractor. That 77 is beat up with mis-match tires but would probably still fetch about
$1800 to $2K in my area.

Try to find one that's a 1952 or newer, they have disk brakes instead of band brakes. You can get a 88 for about the same money as a 77 and it's a lot more tractor.

yea, an 88 would be even better, I don't find many Olivers for sale period, and nothing ever local, I can find Farmalls all day long.

Looks like the guy wants $2650 :shock:

That's way over the top.

I payed $1000 for my Super 88 and that was about 10 years ago when the price was up more then now. I also payed $2500 for a n 88 diesel but it was a wide front tractor. I sold a 77 a few years back for $1200

I wouldn't sell my 1956 Super 88 diesel for less than 2500 --they are getting harder to find around here.

Depending on the area of course, you should be able to get a running 77 or 88 for $1200 to $1500. While disc brakes are easier to replace band brakes aren't that bad, except when trying to brake while in reverse... If you have a leaky bull gear seal either brake type performance will be drastically reduced. I just wouldn't let brake type alone sway your decision what so ever. However something like hydraulic type I would tend to let sway your decision. You will either have the levers come out of the unit on top or on the sides. Personally I would prefer the later style which has the levers on top of the unit. And as I think about it I believe models that had that hydraulic unit also had disc brakes. In any case at least your choosing an Oliver!

You don't understand, it seems every old broken down tractor I look at somebodies brother-in law saw one JUST LIKE IT sell for $10,000 on ebay, so their's must be worth at least that much.........

Thanks for the all the info, did not know there was a difference. I notice old tractors, and I have only EVER seen one Oliver in my travels around this area. Now that I can't find one, I REALLY want one bad!
