Difference between a regular and Goodison Oliver

J.Wondergem · Oct 14, 2016

I just bought a Oliver Goodison 77 that all a part. I havn't got it home yet, and is parked in a dark pole barn. I didn't have a flashlight so didn't get the serial number. Maybe I can get it home tomorrow. The P.O. passed away, and I have to haul some stuff to another place for her, as she sold this place. It don't look real bad of shape. Looks like it is set up as a puller with disk wheels on the back and changed the hitch. He sent to motor out to be rebuilt, got it back and never done anything more. The motor is still on the motor stand, which I have home now. Thanks, Jack.

Goodison was the distributor for Oliver in Ontario Canada during the time your tractor was built. Only difference in the tractor is the shift pattern plate on the dash. At the top it will read: Distributed by
GOODISON INDUSTRIES LTD
Sarina Toronto

Also will have the Goodison decal on the clutch panel. Both were installed in Canada because the Canadian law required some assembly to be done in Canada.

Ok. I see the shift pattern is different, and thought maybe the ratio was different, then started to wonder what all else is different. Thanks.

Most of them here in Ontario also had John Goodison and Son stenciled below the numbers on the rear panels, they also manufactured threshers.

Ok. Ill take a look at the fenders, he's took them off, and started making a puller.
