Did Oliver ever have a locking differential in any of their 4 digit tractors? If so, what models?

I can not say for sure if the locking diff was an option but I do know that my 1650 will happily spin one tire at a time w/o any load transfer to the other wheel. Normally the RHS does most of the spinning and I must apply the separate brake pedals to balence. However, my 1850,s when pointed straight ahead will share the load and power thru a low traction scenario like plowing snow. The 1850 rarely requires correction by using the brake pedals. The axel acts more like a limited slip than a locking diff.

As I remember the Detroit lockers were only used in the front axles, were hard on the CV joints, not a real popular option as I recall. The Fiat's (1250-1450) had a spring loaded foot pedal on the RH side that locked the dif. The detroit locker would not be satisfactory in a tractor rear drive application as neither wheel can ever turn slower than the ring gear, There are no differential gears, just over running clutches. Hope this helps a little.

Detroit "No-Spin" locker was a factory option on 1650s for sure and likely all 4 digit tractors.

Detroit lockers are completely automatic. With the front wheels pointed straight ahead, both rear wheels turn together at exactly the same speed. Works in forward and reverse. It's not possible to spin just one wheel like you can with an open differential.
