Green boxes with red lettering were after WWII, red boxes with yellow lettering were before. Frame was red on the green ones, and green on the red ones. Wheels were red on the green ones, but I"ve not seen a red one with paint left on the wheels, so green wheels is a guess.

So if it had a green frame they had green rims or if they had a red frame they had green rims. Thanks for your help on the colors, I hope to be able to purchase it since it was my great uncles drill (my grandpa also used it from time to time) They pulled it behind a Farmall H usually (Which is still around too and good shape might I add). It has been sitting in a barn for years and when they went to put thier cattle trailer inside they pulled it out and put it underneath an oak tree. Needs new wood for the boxes and some other small parts but is otherwise in good shape.
Thanks again
Adam Davis

 There were two colors schemes in reply to James2, 02-03-2005 10:33:40  
James2, are you just trying to annoy me? Oliver changed the colors over the production run. We had a red one. Neighbors had a green one. Same drill. Neither was repainted. Maybe you"ve only seen a green one, but that doesn"t mean they were all green.

No, I was only attempting to confirm that red rims went with red frame (at least on our drill). I have no idea what the colors were on earlier Olivers. I'm sorry it appeared that I was the all knowing Oliver man.

James2, I was only kidding about being annoyed. Anyway, the steel box drills have now entered into this and that"s a whole "nother can of worms!

Yes, you did startle me, I thought my reply was relatively benign, but you never know... Surprising that drill is the only piece of Oliver equipment that I know for sure we ever owned. No close dealers. However, I have found one or two Oliver plow parts off a walking plow, so sometime back in the mid 1800 we probably owned a plow. Anyway no harm no foul, and you have exhausted my Oliver knowledge base!
