Plowing Video

We think the PO had it turned up quite a bit since it was his main tillage tractor for years. She is way to snappy to be set stock cause it will rock the tractor side to side if you rap the throttle. Just needs some wheel weights cause she was spinning a little comming up the hill.
 
Great vid, thanks for sharing. Very nice tractor.

It's interesting as to how all the Oliver paint jobs break out rust in the same areas, i.e. The instrument panels. I wonder if these were subbed out to some paint contractor? If you look closely, you can spot greasey finger prints that were painted over on some.
 
1800 pulls so that plow so easy and level. Reminds me of the old car commercial where the guy cuts a diamond in the backseat of a Lincoln.
 
I put a lot of work into that plow over this winter to get it to that point. Had to pull all four bottoms apart to get the trips freed back up (lots of heating and beating, plus 50 tons from our shop press). It had concave coulters on it that didnt work worth a darn so I scrapped those and got good straight coulters on it, pulled them all apart and re-packed the bearrings before I put them on. Added the cover boards and brackets. Took the origional drawbar off and replaced it with one off of a 575 plow so I could get it set up to pull on land correclty. made bushings for the steering linkage to tighten it back up and got the steering pole so it would extend and retract freely agian. I put new points, shins, and moldboards on it when I first got it a few years back.

I still need to get new land sides on it along with a few other odds and ends then I hopefully want to tear it all back apart and get it painted to get rid of that ugly orange.
 
Shame you had to put that terrible bro-country song over the sweet note of the Waukesha exhaust. Plow looks set up real good though.

Nice Video. We use our Oliver almost exclusively for mowing raking hay now. We've plowed with it int he past with our IH 720 4-16 plow and it handled it great.
 
Back when those 1800's came out the FFA I was in did a field trip. There were 2 of those 1800's pulling 6 bottom plows, although going slow. Blew my mind, 3 and 4 bottoms were big plows then. Your soil looks light, almost sandy, makes for easier going. Interesting camera placement, thought it was going to get plowed under! Thanks for your efforts - and risks!
