I am looking for my first tractor. I need to do some work with it, but I would also like to restore it. My favorite tractor I have found so far is an Oliver 77 in good condition. Runs very well and the sheet meatal is good. It has a Dual front end loader on it that has 3 1/2" cylinders. However, it doesn't have power steering. Was it available on these tractors? Can it be fitted with power now? The person who is selling it is asking $3,900 for it, is that a fair price?

I have a 1955 Oliver Super 77 that has an aftermarket power steering unit on it. The unit name is a Charr Lynn. It has a pump that is belt driven off the front of the engine and has a small hydraulic resevoir up under the hood. This pump provides power to a unit that is installed
in the steering shaft. (The steering shaft has to be shortened to install this unit) I am not sure if the unit is still available or not. I have never had any problems with it. My uncle installed it shortly after he bought the tractor in 1955 because he had the four row pipe mounted cultivators underneath and needed the power steering to help turn (those cultivators were heavy !!)

Try contacting Maibach Tractor they are an Oliver salvage yard and can get aftermarket parts.

Tell me about the Oliver 88. I do not have an e-mail address. I sneak onto the internet at work sometimes. I would like to know all about the 88. Does it have the side covers? How does it run? Tires? Hydrallics? Tell everything and where to find it. I could drive to BC. I would buy it if the condition is good for $800. If it is junk $800 could be to much but salvage guys will pay up to $500 for junk.

Bob, Sorry I didn't notice your message until today. I can't tell you a whole lot about this tractor. I only gave it a 5 minute look. It doesn't have side panels. I noticed it was converted to 12volt. The rubber bushings on the seat obviously need replacing because the seat was supported by a wooden block. It had no battery in it so I couldn't tell you how it runs. It was a wet miserable day and it was getting dark when I looked at it. I seem to remember it had truck tires on the front and the rears had some cracks. The fellow who has the Olivers is Bill Cross at (604) 856-1712 and he is in Aldergrove, about 15 minutes from Lynden, Washington. The tractor supposedly has been run in the last year or two, but it didn't look like the tractor I wanted to start off with. I try to check this message board everyday, but I thought your message was one I had already reponded to. Sorry for the delay

Sounds rough. Work over time today. Was this the 77 or the 88. I prefer to pay more and get a better one to start with. Every time I try to get cheap it winds up costing me more money not to mention a lot more work. Have you got your first tractor yet or are you waiting for a birthday now. I like the way you put it "first tractor". If you are like a lot us there will be more than one. You can't go wrong with an Oliver. Value wise the Olivers have been the best over the last five years.

I haven't found the right one yet. I am looking at John Deeres and Allis Chalmers also. With the Canadian dollar so low I have to search a lot more in Canada.Itires on the front and the rears had some cracks.

I live in Washington and paid 3000 for an Oliver 77 in fair shape with no loader. I know that may be a lot but I waited a long time before I found one that was not junk and I wanted an Oliver 77 or 88. They are hard to find out here. Unless you like rust. I would love to buy a good one with a loader for 3900. Is it still available? I could have one to resore and one to work.

For Bob Morrel in Washington. I don't have your E-mail address so I hope you see this reply about the Oliver with the front end loader. As far as I know it is still available. I saw it in the Little Nickel newspaper from Western Washington. You can get it on the net at www.littlenickle.com

It is not listed as an Oliver, just as a tractor (36 horse) with front end loader. There is an 88 and 77 here in BC. For $800 dollars each that have been sitting for a while. If you need more info e-mail me at [email protected]

Price depends largely on two things. Condition and location. Olivers in Iowa are in greater supply and this will be reflected in the price. An Oliver on the west or east
coast will run higher price. Someone had to pay to get them there and the supply is less. In Washington Olivers do not show up all that often and if they do they are usualy all rusted out so a good one brings a fare price. My dad use to say you can not pay to much for a good one or to little for a bad one. Olivers are not bad to steer compared to some without power steering. Seems the power steer always gives you trouble too. Good luck!
