I recently took possession of an Oliver 60 Industrial. It seems complete. The sheet metal isn't perfect but is reparable. Tires are good. One rear wheel is beyond repair but the other is good. Unfortunately the engine is stuck. The exhaust was covered so maybe it's not bad. I understand the 60 industrial is a low production model. Before I invest to much money into it I would like to know what a 60 industrial is worth. If someone had an idea of the value either as is or in running condition I would appreciate it.

scott, i own a 60 RC. what you have to watch out for is what the value means.

*****IHMO***** -- restoring tractors is not a very lucrative business unless one does ALL (and i mean ALL) of the work oneself. once you start paying someone to work for you, it's hard to recoup your cost.

thus, unless you play to do all the work yourself, i believe that the chances are slim to none that you'll do any better than break even.

on the other hand, if you're restoring it because you like it and want to keep it and pass it on to Scott Junior, then who cares what the value is (as long as you don't miss any meals). :-)

I couldn't agree more. Part of the problem with this hobby is there are too many people trying to make a living and get rich from it. Ruins it for the rest of us. At least that's what seems to be happening in central Indiana. I understand mechanics and painters have to earn a living. That isn't what I mean. I think a lot of people who read this know exactly what I mean.

As far as my Grandkids are concerned, our '47 IND "Oliver Hearty" is priceless. I tend to agree with them.

60 standards and industrials use same serial # group. Oliver kept no records separating them. There are not that many of them though. I would say regardless of cost of repair it is worth it. I have seen 60 standards in average condition bring $2500 and restored ones bring a lot more. Your industrial version should be worth as much or more than an agricultural standard. If I had any money I wouldn't be telling you this-I would be trying to buy it.

You need to get a better Oliver serial number book. Mine breaks the 60 Industrial numbers out from the Standards. All the Standards start with 410- and all the industrials start with 460-. They only made the industrial version in 46, 47 and 48. Only 200 serial numbers were used each year in 46 and 47. The 60 seems to small to be an industrial to my. Kind of like a jumbo shrimp.

Scott is correct, the serial numbers were seperated. There were 815 Industrials built in the years Scott listed. I have a 48 that was a Kansas Hiway mower tractor (painted highway blue). I also have a 60 STD. The travel speeds are much faster in the high range section of the IND transmission in comparison. I can't see any difference in the parts book, Possibly they made gears to modify for their use. There were 5 60 IND at the summer HPOCA summer show in Minn, mine was one of them.

I am humbled. Goes to show no matter how much you think you know someone else out there knows more. At least I realize that. I know some people who think they know it all but don't and you cannot convince them of anything. I thought I knew a lot about Olivers but when I got involved in national and local Oliver organizations I found out I didn't know as much as I thought. On a lighter note-"those people who think they know everything really annoy those of us who do".
