Been working on a couple 1855s this fall, been shooting for having them done in time to go to the flywheelers show in a month, since they are featuring olivers. I tried to load pics in order but it didn't work
 

Trying to get these up

wow, great work please post some pics when finished. As mentioned nice clean shop with some cool signs on the wall.
 
Thanks for the compliments

Yes the Florida flywheelers.

How do I post pics on here, had a heck of a time putting those on, was going to put more but took forever to get those two on, pics are on a iPad and that's what I'm using to post with if it matters.
 
Here's a few more, my internet connection must have been bad last night, pics loaded right up this am. My internet can be slow in the evenings when everybody is on it everywhere.

Did you sand blast it? Or what did you use to remove the paint? Looks great doing 2 at the same time. Hope you make the show.
 
Wow. Among the nicest restorations I've seen. Great job! Can you tell me about the wheel and tire sizes on the two-wheel drive tractor, and where you found them?

Thanks!
 
It has 11L15s on the front , and 18.4-38s on the rear, both are original wheels and hubs, it has the power adjust on it though.
 
working on an 1855 myself with them power slide rears w/ duals , i was wondering if power slide duals was common for these tractors , here in Pa you dont see many dual wheels , also what color silver did oliver use & why didn't they just paint them white ? i thought about using white argent silver on mine , would that be the correct color? If i understand it, the dual rim is white , is that correct? like i said dont know much about the dual wheels on Oliver tractors looking for someone to get me on the right path , thanks
