I am looking at an Oliver mower/conditioner and I would like to find out something about them. I have a message posted in the implement section and I haven't gotten any responses on it yet. I figured some of you tractor collectors and farmers my know something about them or may be using one. My Oliver book only lists a model 129, but doesn't give any info on it. It infers that there may have been other models. Maybe these came out as Whites? Were these machines any good? Can you get parts for them? This machine is on an upcoming auction and I haven't ever seen one, much less this one yet. I have a nieghbor who uses a White with hydro swing hitch so I'm guessing that there may be quite a bit of difference between it and the Olivers. Any info would be greatly appreciated. Maybe if the price is right and I can find parts I'll replace my New Holland 460 seein' how I'm partial to Oliver.

I got to go and look at the mower/conditioner this morning (Mon. 10/20). It is a model 129. Forgot to take tape measure, but I'm guessing it is about a 9' cut. Turned PTO shaft by hand and everything moved although a bit sticky. U-joints seemed to still be good. Didn't feel or see any slop. Liked the layout of machine (looks easy to work on) better than my New Holland 460. Has good tires on it and not much rust despite apparently having sat for awhile. The auction is Thursday Oct.23 and I would appreciate any more info you all have before I go. Thank you.

I worked for an Oliver Dealer in the 60s. Sold a 127 mower/conditioner which I think was Oliver
first mower/conditioner. It was not heavy enough.
We sold it and had to take it back as it was broke
down a lot. I do not know about the later ones.
It souned like Leo has been very happy with the
later one.

There was a 437 and I think a 439 but not sure. I have a 437 and it is a very good machine. It is very heavy and floats well across uneven land. The rollers are made of car tires, sort of like rear bush-hog tires, and are virtually bullet proof. I did get some parts from Maibach tractor in Ohio. Whether you use it in the field much or not, it's probably worth picking up!
