Mike, You know the '47 & up Ponys, with 8x24 rears, 62 C.I.Continental flathead. These engines were in N & L versions. The smallest Oliver, #44, was the same size tractor, with a stock 62 C.I. Continental. For a year, in the earliest 60's, it was replaced by the 440, but basically the same. Perhaps a puller would attempt a repower of the 12 HP '62' with a 140 or 162, but stock engine, in the Oliver 44 was a Continental 62. Kindly post on the 'correct green' board, if doubt lingers. Imagine a Pony with a '162' bolted-in, balance the 1400 lb. tractor with this 34 HP engine, snap the frame housing in it's serious test pull attempt. Mislabeled photos & print typos add confusion to the facts. Were I asked when 'Twin Power' ended on the 101, I'd reply that I did not know, this was not my choice MH model.Oliver built great tractors in the 60's,1800's,1650's,1850's,etc. These models had bonds with MH 44 versions: work brutes. They became the durable choice, thus knowledge of their tractors, firsthand. How many snow shovels are by the front door?
