A finely-tuned Oliver 70 running is music to the ears. It doesn't matter what brand you enjoy, everyone admires the smoothness of that six cylinder engine. Now, the not-so-good points. You could easily put $2K into the engine and have trouble getting somebody to pay $1K for the whole tractor, even with good tires. It's the one Oliver model that just doesn't bring much money. About a year ago, I got one on an estate sale for $750 and I drove it home. Nobody really wanted it. Engine parts are getting very scarce. As little as six months ago, there were lots of replacement pistons advertised for it on ebay, if you knew what number to look for. Not any more. Engine bearings are scarce. Several years ago, I got a bunch of them from RockAuto, believe it or not. I knew the bearing number and purchased them by number, not application. I'm not sure if new sleeves are available from anybody. If so, I'm sure very pricey. Getting back to the subject of the original post, I'd probably try to purchase it for $400, tops. You might get the engine to turn over and run good or you might not.

This story is about the day my Grandfather Brown (true name) decided along with my parents to purchase a new Ford tractor. It wasn't really new except to us. The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
