Last O'the crawlers

Oliver OC 6. The first one's mine. The second one just shows what it's supposed to look like. I found it at a flea market at the fair grounds in Van Wert Ohio last summer. Luckily I recognized it for what it was. Hopefully I'll find the parts for it some day.

They used the same engine and sheet metal as a Super 77. They were strictly an ag crawler. In fact it would void the warrantee if you put a blade or a loader on them.

Are you going to be back this year? Think some in this area might like a small get together. Remember the cow barn.
 
I have a few tractor steel toys, but have never kept the packaging unfortunately. From what I hear and read, the original carton adds considerable value to the toy. Even more if it has never been opened.

Does anyone know any actual numbers as to how much of a difference this would make for these kinds of toys?
 
We haven't made plans yet,but I would think we'll either do Ohio and Michigan again,or at least be coming up through there on the way home if we go farther south.
 
They were a pretty impressive machine. The first OC 4s used the Oliver 66 sheet metal. I liked the look of those better because they had the big square seat like a Cat instead of that little pan seat. They changed the sheet metal and grill on those to a more industrial look after the first year or two though.

That's the last of my crawlers Larry. Somebody else will have to pick up a new feature tomorrow.
 
My boys had quite a few tractors and equipment when they were young. They have grownup and ave their own boys and grandsons. I don't know where any of the tractors went to. But I still have all the empty boxes in the top of my garage. The boxes have moved to Wisconsin and back.
 
Don't let those boxes get destroyed if they're earlier. Some of those are worth as much as the toy.
 
Ya,if somebody wants to switch to a different kind of toy,God knows I've got plenty. I'd just prefer that somebody else start them though so there's more variety than just my stuff and I'll participate when I've got something that goes along with it.
 
Randy: The OC-6 used the 77 engines. Only the last year of the OC6 gas had the super engine. The diesel all had the Fleetline engines. Also I read where you mentioned the checkerboard decals, etc. and the Oliver 500, 1800 & 1900 models. The 500 was the first by a couple of months Somewhere either I or the middle boy has 2 pictures of the new 500 tractors being shipped to the dock. The first one is unusual because this is early 1960 and the tractors are the first cars behind the STEAM locomotive and the second picture is the picture of the tractors being loaded on the ship.
 
I've got pictures of the first two on a semi in Georgia and sitting next to an IH B275 where they were testing them,as well as a few pictures of them in the field being tested.
 
What they called the "ice cream boxes" are the most valuable. They'd be the ones that were totally enclosed and opened on the ends. They just had a picture of the toy on them,weren't open so you could see the toy.
 
I never heard them called that. That is what the box from my S55 is like, both tractor and box in good condition with tractor played with very little. Grandpa won it at the comunity instute back when they first came out. Are the boxes for the inplements called the same? Tractor box is white with green, plow box is yellow and green but is of a pull type plow.
