17 year old son wants to restore an Oliver for a 4H project. I found him this 77 for $250 and it has WF and PS. Pretty sure it is too far gone to be resurrected, cracked block, cracked manifold, tub is cracked just in front of the rear end, but should be a good donor. Now on the hunt for another, little bit better one for him.

A 77 wide would be a real sweet heart,that's for sure.Somethong not too common makes it even better.A tractor he could keep and use his entire life.Just imagine him at 65 sayingI restored this tractor in high school. How cool would that be?

Sounds like a good start. More kids should be interested in mechanical things. Stan

A styled Oliver super 77 is my favorite looking tractor. Louvered side panels, short fender, red stripe grill is just outstanding. Good choice, hope he digs in and finishes it. Oliver are hard to find parts.

We take for granted most kids are raised on concrete and don't know there is another life out there. They have never touched a hog are a horse in places you would think there would be plenty of them.

Go, blow, are it all ends up in the scrap pile its worth the effort.

That'll be a great experience for him. I spent many many days on an Oliver 77 as a kid, raking hay and side dressing corn - they're a great tractor
