Rod, that worked like a charm. Thanks.

Dave

Glad the instructions worked out for you. There is more than one way to do it, but I think that was the easiest.

P.S. I've seen that silver vs orange rear wheel issue come up from time to time. I'm still a believer in orange wheels.

I see you know how to post your pictures. Hal

Oliver:

I basically put the B up for the winter. It's not big enough or heavy enough to deal with serious snow on a half-mile driveway. My primary plow vehicle is a Chev one ton dump with 8ft Fischer blade but for pushing the banks back or dealing with a foot of fresh wet snow, nothing beats the V-plow on the Oliver.

I was at a local show last summer and ran into a guy who had lots of pictures or "restored" Bs and Cs. They all had silver rear rims. He seemed to know quite a bit about Bs so I asked him about orange rears. He told me empatically that ALL Bs were supplied from the factory with galvanized rears and none had orange ones. Well, that and a buck will get you a cup of coffee - maybe. I've seen far to much evidence to the contrary to believe there were no original orange ones. Besides, I happen to prefer the look of orange rears to silver (or galv) anyway.

I thought Oregon had lots of snow. You must not be in the mountain areas. I remember driving through Oregon about 35 years ago. South to North on I5. Visited Crater Lake Nat'l Pk. Nice area.

My neighbor has just started the maple syrup season. It's about two or three weeks later than it has been in recent years. He has about 500 taps, a few of which are on my property. They are all tied together with plastic tubing, with the sap flowing by gravity to several "pick-up" points. This year there is enough snow in the woods that prevented access to all his normal pick-up points. He is therefore about 100 taps shy of "normal". I helped him boil down a couple hundred gallons of sap yesterday - feeding wood to "big bertha" firebox:

That old Oliver sure pulls its weight around your place, doesn't it? I know your B is also a well-used tractor. I love seeing that old iron working.

I don't care if the rear rims on my B are supposed to be silver (and I'm not sure they are)...I didn't like the look one bit.

My Allis B and my JD H will be in a parade in Merlin, Oregon on Easter Sunday. That's only about twenty miles from home. The JD M I'm working on won't be ready for about another month, but will be done in time for all the bigger events this year, like Pottsville.

I hope you start warming up soon so you can enjoy the real beauty of your state.

Thanks for the offer and I'd definitely take you up on it - but it's not likely I'll get out west again. I'm not normally the traveling type. Yup, the Oliver definitely pulls its weight.

Perhaps you could search through Photobucket for a similar thing.

Hope it helps.
