Dont think you know your butt from a hole in the ground! Oliver offered a diesel option in every power size starting with the Super series in 1954, something no other tractor manufacturer could claim at the time. A check of the production records will show diesel models being built on the first day of production in every instance. For the life of me I don't know where some people come up with such nonsense. As for why would anyone buy a large gasoline powered tractor I'll offer this. In our area of Iowa many farmers prefered gas tractors through the end of the 1960s. While dad switched to diesel power in October 1950 and never looked back, our next door neighbor ran an 1850 and M-M 670 gas as his main field tractors until 1977! While he was about the last gas holdout there were 4020 and 806 gassers in the area not too long before this. For some reason that's what they wanted. I think you always saw more Oliver gas tractors compared to other makes because they tended to be more fuel efficient. Oliver spent a lot of time and money on cylinder head research and it paid off in economy records at Nebraska. Obviously a diesel is far more efficent, but an Oliver will compare quite favorably to other gas tractors of similar size and horsepower.
