Oliver tractor

I?m interested in this one, any comments on asking price and
what it?s actually worth in your area would be appreciated, this
one is out of the Mobile AL area. I?ve got too many sticks in
the fire right now to make a purchase but thought I might
pursue a trade for it...

"Spline shaft works". New way to describe PTO shaft I assume.

Factory 3 point hitch! Hydraulic unit is known as a group 3 and is off of a Super or 660.

rustyfarmall · Sep 3, 2018

Asking price is about $2,000 too high. Just my opinion.

Keith-OR · Sep 3, 2018

I agree with rustyfarmall..$2000.00 too much!!!

Traditional Farmer · Sep 3, 2018

I've seen ones not that good sell for over 2K$ some pretty good things about it good tin,good tires,3pt,later hydraulics all ads up to over 2K+ in my opinion.

Way too high. There's been two of them advertised here in Michigan on CL for several years now for $3000 for the pair and last time I looked they were still on there. $1500-1800 would be plenty. For $3500 I might even be tempted to turn loose of this one of mine. I could replace it with three more. Mine was rough and not running,but the tires were like new. I gave $600 for it.

Thanks for all the insight, I was thinking $2000 would be top dollar for it, seems it?s not even worth that

rrlund · Sep 3, 2018

With the 3pt and hydraulics and all the sheet metal,if you like it,ya,$2000 would be OK. It's one of those things though where you're at the end of the rainbow and if you wanted to get rid of it,I wouldn't count on turning a profit right away.

Here's one in mid Michigan for two grand. It's lost a little bit of weight for pulling,but it's pretty much all there.
CL ad

grayrider · Sep 3, 2018

Were the rear wheels purposely cut like that to lighten it up?

I think the owner of the Oliver in the ad I posted is trying to use the rarity approach since their not very common to see here in the south

rrlund · Sep 3, 2018

I think they were cut out to lighten them up for pulling yes. I've seen them pulling with big circles cut out of them. They might be rare in the south,but not uncommon up here. They sold the heck out of 66s and 77s up here. Way more common than an 88. Only the BTOs of the day had 88s. lol

Nice tractor but for my part of the country sure is over priced.. about 2 thousand too high. Just no one buying that kind of tractors around here. More sellers than buyers means cheap prices.

The rear wheel centers may just be reversed. Larger Oliver tractors of that era had a similar shape. If you compare the inside and outside of the wheels in the CL ad with the other 66 pictured, I think they are the same wheels, just dished in or dished out. The axle hub could be mounted inside the wheel or outside the wheel too.

Maybe the seller has it priced high enough that he knows it won't sell.

rrlund · Sep 3, 2018

The one's in Grayrider's pictures are reversed,yes. The tractor I linked to has pressed steel and they've been torched out.

(quoted from post at 14:27:22 09/03/18) The one's in Grayrider's pictures are reversed,yes. The tractor I linked to has pressed steel and they've been torched out.

That 3 point alone is worth $800 plus it has nice tin. That would put it in the $2500 range to an Oliver person.

What is the purpose of the framework that the hitch ball is mounted to? I don't think I've ever seen that before.

Olivers fascinate me - there was only one in the neighborhood when I was a kid, and I was only around it when I picked up hay for the owner. It looked like it had a lot of good design ideas. The "three" brake pedals were neat, especially when you were used to the Deere brakes one on each side.

Traditional Farmer · Sep 3, 2018

Those 3pts are few and far between.There is an auction in my area with about 20 Olivers coming up soon I'll be curious to see how they sell,most are good runners but
not repainted.

flying belgian · Sep 3, 2018

I have a draw bar made for my 3-point so I can raise and lower it when raking hay in road ditches. Need to be able to go over field approaches. Works great but I built it where you need to hook top link to it so it don't spin. It works great for scooping down to hook up wagon tongue too. Now to answer your question. I cannot use pto when I have my 3-point draw bar attached. So I have to take it off every time I go from rake to baler. Now that I've seen this one I just may build one like it so I can run pto. I bet that's why he did it.

flying belgian · Sep 3, 2018

In my answer above I called it a PTO. Foolish me.

PJH · Sep 4, 2018

Yeah, I didn't think about running the PTO - good idea.

I have one that sounds like yours. I use it to pull a round bale trailer. I can hook/unhook without getting off of the tractor, but it has to come off for PTO work. I figured the one in the picture was an Oliver patent.

rustyplow · Sep 4, 2018

That framework is factory oliver. However it is not mounted as intended. The idea was, you removed the lower life arms and replaced them with this hitch. Hooked the 2 lift links to where he has 3 pt arms hooked to. The plate with ball is not oliver. Almost looks like farmall.
