Kids are home for christmas with a digital camera and the knowledge to get a picture link posted.So here goes. my 1960 oliver 1900 with MFWD was hauled north from Iowa sometime in the early 70's. I can't imagine that there are many configuered like this one with 23.1x26 rice tires on the rear and the mfwd. Was just wonndering if anyone out there recognizes the tractor and could tell me some of its history. It sure looks like it has done a heap of work in its day. Still earns its keep on our place when the going gets tough. Thanks

Doug that 1900 with the 23.1 #26 rear tires were very popular in the southern part of the country also having mfd. I have had 6 1900"s with only 1 with 18.4#34 rear tires.There were many in the deep south Ark. La. Miss, Fla. These old tractors were tough to beat in their day.Just rembering the good ole days Terry Clubb LaGrange Ky.

You're right about the 23.1x26 rears being unusual on that tractor; that's more like an industrial 1900's tire equipment. So are those fat wheel weights.

Now, not to fault or anything, but, if that's the original hood, that isn't a 1960 model 1900--it's a 1962 or later, because it has model placards on the sides, instead of straight decals('Checkerboard 1900') The placards appeared after the 1962 takeover of Cockshutt by White, and the placards were adopted from the Cockshutt 500 series tractors to the Oliver and Cockshutt 1600, 1800, 1900, 550, and 770 models, and all other Oliver and Cockshutt full size tractors afterwards.

I forgot: Oliver didn't introduce the FWA tractors until 1962, regardless. Now I feel stupid...

Great looking big Ollie. I have a 2050 4wd I am having problems with finding some studs for the drag link on the front end AGRO have them but want a small fortune for them. Was just wondering if U had replaced them.

Yeah, I had to replace mine in the 2150 too. I just bit the bullet and paid AgCo $175 each for them I think. I thought about cutting the end off the draglink and welding a nut on and then getting a tie rod end off of a simi or something that would fit the taper of the hole and screwing it in, but the end came apart in the field one day before I could do that and the AgCo dealer, knowing I needed them had alreay stocked them for me..... How nice.....

Good luck....
