I purchased a model 50 Oliver plow earlier this year and was wondering the approximate age. I assume it's fairly old being a horse drawn type with a wooden beam. Does anybody know what years these were made? Are they very common? Anything interesting about them? Thanks for any information you can provide.

I have a model 140 Oliver plow, it looks the same as the model 40 which is pictured in some Oliver books. I would say it's about 100 years old mabe more. I would like to know if it was an improved version of the model 40? And how did Oliver chilled plow company number there plows ? how many models did they make?

There are lots of questions about James Oliver's Company which no one can answer, those who do have answers and information should share them and make sure history is not lost of a company that lived on even after a major merger with many other companies.
Why was Oliver the chosen name when Hart-Parr was founder of the tractor industry?

There were literally hundreds of Oliver plows made. I honestly don't think there is any source that would list them all. I started compiling a list at one time, but other obligations put a halt to it. I CAN tell you why Oliver was the chosen name of the company after the merger though. The assets of the Oliver Chilled Plow Works were greater than those of Hart-Parr and Nichols and Shepard combined. JD Oliver sat in the meeting and said "My name goes on the company or the deal's off!" Oliver had also been in business much longer than Hart-Parr had been too.
