Wanting to pick up a couple of good books for information and resource. I own a late 1655D and interest lies mainly with the 4 digit models. any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

Try the Floydd County Historical Society. I'm at the national Oliver show and staying at a bed and breakfast so I don't have my favorites list, but if you go to www.google.com and type in Floydd County Historical Society, I bet you can find them.

I'll agree with the books that dsl pointed out, I own all of those except that one out of print. I am a fan of the late model Olivers and I wish there was a book kinda made just for those models. I guess its just the Oliver power I grew up with more(although we have a Super 77), and i'd be nice to see more pictures of the late ones in a book:) Maybe one is in the making, who knows:)

"OLIVER HART-PARR" by C.H. Wendel. Published by Crestline. You just can't go wrong there. (there are a few bits of inaccurate information--like 1755, 1855, & 1955 having a hydraulically operated clutch[hydraulically operated PTO clutch] but, on the whole, for a encyclopedic project of it's magnitude, it is an excellent referrence book)

"A GUIDE TO HART-PARR, OLIVER, AND WHITE FARM TRACTORS 1901-1996" by Larry Gay, published by the ASAE. This is a dynamic paperback book, and no Oliver fan should be without it.

"Progress... in Tractor Power from 1898" published by the Charles City Plant, White Farm Equipment. This is a small, out-of-print paperback, that was written by the folks that built these tractors; The Tractor People, and, although only about 45 pages, it is very worthwhile to track one of these down. By using a search parameter of 'White tractor', one of these can occaisionally be found for sale on eBay. Depending on who is looking for one of these at the time, it might not be cheap, but it'll be worth it.

I like "Oliver Farm Tractors" by Morrell & Hackett ISBN 0-7603-0356-8.

It contains almost nothing about the 4 digit tractors but traces the history of the company and its products and has outstanding photographs.
