We had 2 olivers, a 1967 1650 and a 1976 1855. Both diesels. The 1650 we got first, had the hydr-power, no cab. The 1855 had a cab, the over/under hydraulic shift and both tractors had the heavier design front axle. I always thought i wanted a cab tractor but aftet using both, i'll go with a open one, best thing about the one with the cab is it got too hot inside for the bugs to bother you, every few years or so the 1855 would lunch a turbo, and its nearly useless when the turbo is dead, we did the rod bolt upgrade ourselves, was running when we parked it, but 4-5 years of setting anti-freeze was found in the oil when dad found a buyer for it. The 1650 was sold locally to a neighbor who had the sheetmetal done and a paint job, it looks show-quailty now but ive recently heard it may have a loose flywheel or a broke crankshaft. Hope both olivers live to see another day, given the choice id go with the non turbo engine, those things are darn pricey when they go out, and i dont have to watch the rpms as close, the 1650 would go alot further down in rpms and still keep pulling before youd have to hit the hydra-power, the 1855 however would flat fall on its face when you got below a certian rpm. I think the biggest issue we had with the bigger oliver was something in the hydraulics, the 1650 had sevral little issues, we had it overhauled and that helped the throttle response, but its issues were a set of burned up pto clutch plates, low oil pressure and the hydra-power would just go into a "neutral" state after a short distance. We took care of the oil pump and pto but i dont think the hydra-power issue was ever fixed. All of the other tractors we had were smaller, gas engines. Most of them are still here.

Today's Featured Article - The Day Mom Drove the 8N - by Brian Browning. My Dad was wanting to put in a garden but couldn't operate the 8N and handle the old horse drawn plow he had found and rigged up to use with the tractor. Well, he decided to go get Mom out of the house and have her drive the tractor while he walked behind the plow. You got to understand that while my Mom is a hard worker who will always help whenever she can... she had never operated farm machinery before that day. Dad got her out there, explained how the clutch was the same as in our o
