Hi everyone!!!
I have a 60 series JD, and know of a guy that interested in trading me for his Oliver 77. Any comments out there about this? Whos getting the better deal? What about 3 pt on a 77 Oliver? And what are some of the problems asc. with Oliver tractors, mainly 77 Series???? Bearing problems, pistons?? I guess if someone could tell me there porblems that they had to over come I would like to know...Thanks!!!!!

My 2 cents worth:The JD 60 is more comparable in size to an Oliver 88. If you're doing lots of heavy drawbar work out in open fields the 60 would probably have the advantage. The 77 is a much handier tractor for all around use however. To me the Oliver has a much nicer layout for the operators controls. There are lots of comparisons you can make, pro or con, for both.

First of all you did not give enough information. What is your main use for the tractor? If neither tractor has power steering you will find the 77 handles a lot nicer. Bearings or pistons are not a problem. You also did not say if you had a 77 or a Super 77 and if they are gas or diesel. A super 77 is about bullet proof. The 77 was introduced in 1949. The later 77 models have good brakes and are much improved over the first ones. The Super 77 was introduced in the fall of 54. If PTO operation is important, the 77 is far better. There are also changes in the John Deere 60. It was introduced in 1952. Neither the John Deere or the Oliver had draft control 3 points. A 3 point was available for the 77 . The 60 had a 3 point, but it is not ASAE standard.

Hey thanks!! I use it with my 3 pt attached finish mower, and I have to waer ear plugs with the JD60. Does the super 77 have draft control?
Interesting that the JD60 and the oliver 88 are about the same...HP? or Torq? or just weight/size?? Yes, 3 pt is important, and durability, and avaible parts just in case???

like ajax implement said, you need to give us alot more info on the tractors. I guess my two cents are that my grandfather traded in a John Deere B on a Super 77 in 1967 and we still have that Super 77, so we must have liked the end results on that trade...so, I'd say go for that Oliver!
