If you need some direction, I will be happy to help. I have four A series Oliver 1800's. They are still my favorite tractor. I will help as you may need.

Best of luck.

Glad you picked an Oliver to restore. The advice about getting a book is good. For the mechanicals, you can use either the actual Oliver shop manuals or the I & T shop manuals. Either one would be fine. Make sure you get one for the correct series of 1800 A. The books could go by serial numbers, not sure which. Also watch for serial number breaks within the book for different systems on the tractor as it was updated several times. Don't know about your budget, but a parts book is also handy as it shows the breakdown of systems better than a shop manual sometimes. You can contact the Floyd County Historical Society in Charles City, Iowa for help on original Oliver manuals. Another good resource for help is the Hart-Parr Oliver Collectors Association at: Link Go to the Oliver Forum section. Also, this YT web site has a bunch of knowledgeable folks on it on rebuilding tractors and where to find parts etc. Be patient and have fun. Good Luck on your project!

The 1800 was rated at 64 drawbar Hp or 74 Pto Hp. It was available with Lp, gasoline or diesel. The engine is a Waukesha-Oliver with a 3.75 bore and 4 inch stroke with 265 cubic inches. It had a base shipping weight of 8,000 lbs.
1800 Serial numbers are from a book I have. 1960A 90525-111024 1961A 111025-117375 1962A 118344-124395 1962B 124397-126352 1963B 129286-134683 1963C 136501-140085 1964C 140893-149818
Hope this helps, like the fellow said below, yours would be an "A" model 1800 instead of a "B" or "C".
I would encourage you to find a book on Oliver tractors.

Robert,
What you have is a very early 1800. Check the serial number to be sure. The first 1800's had the checkerboard decals. LEAVE THEM ON! This is what's called an 1800A, meaning series "A". They were made in A, B, and C.
