You're wasting your time trying to sell something you can't ID.

Olivers had models #'s on them, like "66" or "88". It's on the front of the tractor. There will be a model/serial # plate; these are in different locations depending upon the model. There will be #s cast into the engine and manifolds.

If you can get all this information, then someone on the Oliver board on this site will be able to ID it for you.

Next step is to determine if the tractor is complete, if the engine runs, and the % tread left on the tires, and the condition of the sheet metal. Is it all there? How rusty/dented is it?

Once you have that you can begin to determine it's value. At the low end are tractors that are incomplete (parts missing) that don't run. These are essentially scrap. At the high end is a near perfect tractor that someone drove into a barn 50 years ago and hasn't been touched since. Such a tractor might be worth $1,200 if you find a motivated collector. Most tractors from that era are worth less than what you are asking.
