In a weak moment, I bought a pair of Oliver backhoes. By appearances, I will say that they are both on 1650 chassis. Both have the serial number plates removed. The wonderful people at the Floyd County museum are searching for info by engine number. At any rate, is there a forum for Oliver construction equipment where I can get more information? Google has not returned much to me so far. The guy I bought them from bought them as a pair, dug the trench he needed and then let them sit in the weeds. There was also a really late model Oliver grain drill in great shape in the weeds, but it was not for sale. Going back I am looking for any info I can get on Oliver backhoes in general, and specifically, history on the pair that I bought. If it helps, the previous owner bought them together somewhere to the east of Oswego, NY.
Mybe I have bitten off more that I can chew, but I will try to preserve a bit of Oliver history.
