Does anyone know if all 1950"s had Detroit Engines. If so, how many were built?

Where's your drawbar at, stick it out further if your spinning out, maybe raise it up an inch or two also. You got to use that one piece frame design. It's a wonderful balanced weight once you figure out track conditions to your drawbar height and extra weights that you have to use. I've seen 1950's with 34" tires place in the top five alot. To me it seems you can't stick that drawbar out far enough, they just don't seem to stop when they're wound up! Good luck!

According to the production log there were only 3,300 of them built.

Sherry, what is the production log? Do you have all the production numbers? Just curious.

The production log is the amount of tractors built in a year. I have most of the numbers from 1958-1977 I think. They are not broke down at all by RC, IND, etc. They're all grouped together.

Thats interesting. I thought the only way to get the production numbers was to sift through all the build cards. How did you come up with that log? That would make a good article for Oliver Heritage .

third party image

All 1900's and 1950's had 4-53 Detroits.Heres a picture of a friend pulling mine at Carthage,MO in 2006.Its running high 3rd in the so called 13,200 stock class.It came in 3rd behind a couple of 400 horse tractors.

I'd say kkiowa is in the ball park at saying that 5000-9000 Oliver 1950's were built.Theres not many left around here and I have people wanting to buy mine all the time.

Many years ago we had a 1965 model 1950 on our farm but I have no idea where its at now.

Looks like too many zeroes there. All 1950's had Detroits, 1950T's had the six cylinder Waukasha. I think the highest production 50 series Oliver was the 1850 at around 16000 with the 1650 coming in second.. The 1950 was considerably less than that. If I were to guess based on what information is out I would say between 5000-9000 units. Any one else care to comment on that? The serial numbers for a paticular model were not in sequence therefore the only way to get production nunbers is to go through all the individual build cards (which is slowly being done).

I too agree somewhere in the 5,000-9,000 range, probably closer to 5. I know of just one in the area. Guy runs it at local tractor pulls.
