Several people have asked about a timeline on completing certain projects. I will get to them eventually as I get time and funds to do so. However, If you’d like to help speed up the progress on some of my projects through PayPal, feel free to do so here:

Sorry the ride was canceled. Thanks for taking the time to show the equipment. Many memories of assembling the plows, field cultivator, and #5 pickers. While cleaning up an old tool box recently I came across a few of the Oliver keystone stickers that came with implements that needed to be assembled. Might need to send them to you! The wheel rake was made by Darf for several manufacturers. Assembled both Oliver and New Idea versions.
Thanks John! I think you could have a CZcams channel with all the stories you must know from working there back in the day.
Ross in the Hart Parr Collector magazine July/August edition there is a small article on the Heritage series and a picture if a 1355 utility tractor. I thought of your silver tractor when I saw it and the article said only 3 have turned up.
I talk to that guy before he sent that article in. I think we found as many as five of the Heritage 1355s. I’m planning on making a video on what I’ve learned so far about heritage paint. Thanks!!
Fantastic FOURTH tractor show. I very much appreciate you taking the effort to SHOW your equipment. Up next...Fireworks ..... Oliver FEED GRINDER MIXER ? Thanks
Thanks! I really wanted a grinder mixer. I bid one up on an auction this past year but I didn’t get it.
This was a great video showcasing your collection.
I’ve been having health problems as of late and will be having spinal surgery in 2 week but your videos always bring a smile to my face.
Keep up the great content.
Cool, I’m glad you’re enjoying them!! Good luck on your surgery! Thanks for watching!!!
I enjoy playing with my toys at home also. Great collection of stuff. Don't worry about the Deere not "fitting in" there all green tractors. It's the red ones that will f up your day.
I love all tractors so it’s not too bad 🤣
Awesome collection!! When I heard you say “I had it, I’m getting rid of everything” I said yeah right lol. Born a country boy, always a country boy.
🤣 they won’t leave without a fight! Thanks for watching!
That is a cool idea to have tractor show at the rest stop of tractor drive. Been to a few of those a local FFA club puts on. Might make for a longer stop, but it would still be neat.
I just think it’s better than parking along the side of the road. At least there’s something to look at.
Thanks for showing us your collection Ross!
Thank you for watching!!!
Great video Ross, I love when someone takes care to preserve implements. Most people only want to have and restore the tractors and sadly many implements gets scrapped. I also like to be able to look at implements through the years and see how they evolved as the years went by. Very nice collection. Happy 4th.
I feel the same way! I started collecting implements first, because nobody wanted them at auctions. Happy 4th!
Quite a walk through history. Nice way to celebrate Independence Day!!! Having a couple of other tractor brands in the collection attests to family variety.
Thanks Don! I always say I like them all, Oliver is just my favorite.
If you where selling I have dibs on the 88 and the 1755
🤣🤣🤣
Look on the bright side, even though weather spoiled the tractor drive, know you have an excuse to mow/ spray around where all those implements and tractors sat. Great video keep them coming
It’s good to get everything out and move it around every so often so yea. Thanks for watching!!
Great show ,now next week you can bring out the other half ,nice line up
🤣 maybe. There’s a few non-runners as you know from other videos.
Thank you for the show of your equipment I enjoyed your collection so far anyway. When I was a young boy back in the early 70's our landlord had his equipment to get the ground we had to use his equipment and that meant we had to use his two row Oliver ear corn picker the lucky part for dad at least he got to use his own tractor which was a 1080 MF I had to use the landlords tractors and old corn auger and fill two old corn bins a MH 44 and an old farmall M trust me he got the better end of the deal. That and a 1850 Oliver tractor I bought as an adult were the only Oliver's we had on the farm and a 5100 white planter but I always liked them you are doing great with your channel enjoy every video
Thank you for the kind words!!!
Quite the line up you have there! Plenty of room in the field for a 2255,1900, super 99, 995 lugamatic, among of course, more implements. Sky is the limit. If you buy enough you won't have to pay taxes 😂. This was a fun video 👍
Thanks! 2255 is definitely on my short list of things I want to acquire. I just haven’t found one that strikes me yet.
Happy 4th of July... Ross... nice collection.... cant lose what you lost lost time ago.... nope you never get done on a farm
Thanks! You too!
Thanks for showing us some of the equipment in the lineup!
Thanks for watching!!!
Food truck and Beer tent might of had a bigger crowd!😂 All jokes aside nice walk around video 👍
🤣🤣🤣 thanks!!
Great video. Thanks for sharing your collection.
Thanks for watching!
Great tractor show. Thanks
Thanks Bill!
Nice old tractors, like to see them all someday.
Thanks!!
Thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching!
God job Ross tractors and the emplemts tha were used with the tractors.
Thanks! I think it makes it more interesting to look at to see the tractor with the implement
I have a 1972 1755, I have always wanted one after sitting a brand new sitting in the dealer show room. I have my aunt's 77 that she bought brand new in 1950 and her 70 she bought used. I have front mounted cultivators for both, a few years ago we cultivated corn with them. I was a big hit with the guys that had never cultivated before. i had spent many hours cultivating corn in my youth. I have 7 other Olivers in addition to the before mentioned tractors
I liked the stories you told about each tractor and piece of equipment. I'll always remember the story behind each of my tractors/equipment too. Great video. Too bad about your tractor drive. Hopefully this coming Sunday will be better.
Thanks Charlie!!
Nice collection of Oliver tractors and equipment
Thanks Richard!
Nice fleet.
Thanks!
great farm show i love all the stories behind all the tractors an epuipment
amazing collection esp the tractor and corn picker and chaserer bin. health and happiness to you and yours.
Thank you Joe!
Thanks for the show! It would be neat to set up the hay train with the sickle mower and crimper. It’s one of those things that alway impressed me with that era of equipment. Sadly my grandfathers Allis setup wasn’t deemed worthy of saving. The old rubber crimping rollers are the only reminder laying out in a hedge row. They wore out about the time a pull swather came onto the farm…
I’m rearranging my display since I have an extra week. So I might hook the 415 up to the camper behind the late style 770
Hope you had a nice 4th. Awesome collection. 👍👍
Thanks Tom!!! It was a great day!
Great Video Ross, I'm surprised you didn't include your flattop 770.
I’m gonna try to get it out this week. Since I have an extra week to get ready for the ride I may rearrange my display.
My brother has a white 6 row air planter but he had to upgrade to a bigger alternator to run all the blowers on his 67 4010 John deere
I have one of those. They made a PTO driven alternator set up. I’d like to find one of those
@@rosstheoliverman yah he was looking for that first thay are very hard to find
Who needs to see fireworks when one can see your collection. Glad you are saving them.
Thanks Gary!
Dad bought a new Oliver super 55d.new50 baler had a 60.with a culavoter l was to young to know when to slow down and broke the baler to many times was older when I did a lot of corn plowing my uncle John in Michigan farmed with Oliver machinery l grow up in Elkhart county Bill Riley was the Oliver dealer thanks for sharing
Cool! Thanks for watching Robert!!
Love all your tractors old Oliver 7300 hundred combine great machine I hope I can find one
Thanks! They’re out there just be patient.
Ya plan finding one doesn’t run fix like my farmall cub
Great video, Love your Collection
Thanks Chad!
I always thought the coulter on the end of row crop cultivators was to help stabilize it on hillsides
Im sure it did help
I really like your tractor collection. I want to add a Oliver to my small collection ( bucket list)
great video ross combine video allways good
Thanks Peter!
Very nice!
Thanks Mike!
Maybe "Ebay" has a carb for you for the 880? Also, looks like the right front tire might need some new air added to it.
That cutter bar mower, that's what I commented on the other video you posted. Maybe this would be a good winter project, provided you had a shed with heat to work on it in. If you're like me, everything is done outside in the elements lol, still get the job done though. Oh man, that crimper reminds me of the one I had, rubber on metal though. Worked better than what people think they do. I believe mine was a woods, can't remember, sold it.
Love your collection, I too enjoy the old antique tractors and equipment, to me, they're still far superior to today's stuff. And, many have forgotten what it really was like back in the day. Great video as always, cheers :)
I checked back at the time I was working on it and there was not one available. I found one now on there but they want $450 so I’ll probably just keep using this one until I can’t stand it anymore.
@@rosstheoliverman Perhaps just keep watching Ebay for one? I've had to keep looking for a part myself once, took a bit of time but, finally found what I needed.
You sure have a nice collection of tractors and equipment to play with. I'm a little jealous but proud to see you taking care of as many as you can. The 1755 is probably my favorite for sure
I really love the 55 series. I think they were some of the most beautiful tractors.
Geeseze....... I don't have that many hitch pins.🤣🤣🤣
🤣🤣🤣
Awesome buddy, I don’t have to go back to work until next Monday. I don’t know what your schedule is but just wanted to let you know
I was just talking to my brother-in-law about that. I’m not sure he’s able to this week, but it’s on his radar now at least lol
Enjoyed watching and hearing the history! As always thanks for sharing your videos Ross ! Btw happy 4th 🇺🇸🧨💥💭
Thank you! Happy 4th!
Man this is actually quite therapeutic for those of us that thought we had to many tractors. We do not and I need to buy more.
🤣 You can never have too many
Great video. Happy 4th of July. Best tractor show I've seen so far this year! I think that steering on the jubilee is the same as the 550 made by Saginaw steering. I have my 550's tore apart. I took it apart 15yrs and 5 children ago. I might have time to get it going some day.
Thanks! I think they are the same inside. I’ve had one apart before but it’s been a while.
Oh Ross Yeah I wanted to say about teflon tape I use it a lot to 😂😂.and I wanted to say I use to restore equipment a lot to and Sickle mowers of all kinds and sell them I still try if I can .I got 2 32 Massey Ferguson sickle mowers for my self to.
There’s definitely a market for sickle mowers if people learn how to use them again
I concur with not having to take them to shows. I'm perfectly happy putting them to work on the farm.
They were made to work, I figure it’s better for them than just sitting in the shed and going to a show once a year.
great farm show
Ross thanks for going through the equipment and tractors and talking about them. Happy 4th of July 🧨🎆🎇🎊🎉 Thanks Michael
Thanks Michael! Happy fourth to you as well!!
Thanks for sharing. Every time I pull stuff out people think I’m having an auction haha.
You and me both! 🤣
Love it Ross happy 4th of July
Thanks! Happy 4th to you too!
Great video. Love seeing all the Olivers. It's great to see them all being used and not just sitting in a warehouse somewhere. Thank you for the tour.
Thanks Keith! I enjoy using them more than just seeing them sit.
This was a great video. I really love hearing the stories about a tractors history. I love the Golden Jubilee Ford tractor. We had Ford and Ferguson/ Massey Ferguson tractors when I was a kid. Now we mostly Deere one New Holland, and an IH 1650 garden tractor on the farm. The MF 165 is the tractor that would be the last to go on this farm. Any advantage to Oliver having the unloading auger swing forward instead of backward like other brands at that time that made combines?
Thanks! The 525 and 535 had a shorter auger and they folded forward. All the other models folded backwards. I assume that it was just so you could unfold it without climbing down.
And I looked at him, but I was smart then, I said first of all, I said when I tell you to get off the board you get off the board, and I’ll kick you out again 🤣🤣🤣
🤣🤣🤣
Oliver plows are the best plows ever built buddy
I think it's 1650 narrow front end is my favorite
Thoroughly enjoyed it, Ross. Like hearing about the tractors and I could think of a lot worse things for a bad habit than collecting old tractors. My boy, Cody, has been really interested in the Oliver tractors. We recently bought him a 1555 Oliver that sat workless since 2011. It needs a little work, can't seem to make it run without the choke being out a little but Cody sure loves it regardless.
God Bless and Happy 4th!
Awesome! The 1555 is a good little tractor. I’m sure he will enjoy it and it won’t be long before he’ll need another one 🤣
Simply Awesome Farm Show video. Thank you for the trip down memory lane.👍👍👍
Thanks Dale!
Love your walk around about your your machinery brought back a lot of memories have a great 4th
Thanks, you too!
I’ll have to go snap a picture of our old Oliver superior drill steel wheel drill we fixed up and seeded a bunch of oats with it. Worked awesome and actually looks awesome and original.
Cool! I have one of those as well. It’s very deep in the shed lol
Great to see some of your collection you certainly have some great tractors and equipment
Thanks Stephen!!!
Ross, I really appreciate you show and what you do thanks and Happy 4th!!!!!!!
Thank you!!! Happy 4th!!
What a great line up of ladies and equipment. Outstanding. "Hey" to Buddy. Happy 4th. Be safe.
Thanks Brad!!! Buddy says “ruff” aka thanks 🤣
Happy 4th of July Ross!!
Thanks Donald! Happy 4th to you too!!!
@@rosstheoliverman
Thanks Ross!
Can't wait for more combine videos
There definitely will be more in the future
Great show, thanks for putting out the effort.
Glad you enjoyed it!!
Happy 4th July Ross I joy your video
Thanks Donald!!! Happy 4th to you as well!
Enjoyed seeing the 66. My grandfather had a Row Crop 66 just like yours although his had factory diamond plate step plates on the left axle for easy access for the driver. I remember him(70s/early80s) having an Oliver sickle bar mower for it that was not technically a pull type mower nor was it 3 point hitch because like yours the 66 did not have 3 point hitch. It fastened(I think) directly to the draw bar cradle by some kind of proprietary hitch that Oliver made. It had what I would call "dolly" wheels or 360 degree swivel wheels on the back of the mower. I'm trying to remember this from nearly 40 years ago.
I have several sets of those steps I just don’t have them on any of the tractors right now
After a little research, I think that mower was maybe an Oliver model 82.
Hi Ross how are you.I loved your intro to the video it was funny 😂.I think I'll move away to and have an Auction to😂😂.I thought I would comment while I got a second.Thats what I got a lot of in the summer maybe 2 some days .Some days I fill like I'm 80 even though I am 57 to Some days to I just have to stop and smell the roses 😂😂 to because of my arthritis. I loved to your show of your Oliver's and equipment learning about your equipment that I didn't know about all it.I use to farm some to I used to have 40 acers and 5 cows and a bull and a pet pot belly pig and chickens to I even stayed with moms dad and mom he had some wholestiens cows and a jersey cow .And my dad's dad he had 72 acers and a Massey Ferguson to30 or realy it was a Harry Ferguson he had tobacco raised his own feed corn and a big garden and had Holstein cows and black Angus and sharlay cows and variety of cows I use to stayed with them during the summers when I was on summer break in the summer.We both love our grand parents my dad's dad gave me his to30 Harry Ferguson back in 1982 I think I wished I could have kept it but I had to buy my first car to go to work in in 1985.I have a to20 now to replace it in one way I hated to have to sell it.Ill tell you more maybe sometime maybe this winter if you want to here more.Sorry I know you got lots to read to I hope my message wasn T 40:06 to long.Take care Ross and I comment when I can.
Cool! Thanks for the stories. There used to be a lot of tobacco growing around here but that all kind of went away.
@@rosstheoliverman Thank you Ross .I liked your stories to Ross
@@rosstheoliverman About the tobacco to yeah it's almost gone around here in central Ky I know of a few around that's still growing it around here .
I had to laugh about the auction tag comment…..I’d hate to look to see how many of our pieces have the tag yet.
I didn’t realize how many were still stuck to stuff until I started pulling it all out here next to each other 🤣
Happy 4th of July from my family to yours Ross. And I grew up on a family farm as well with mixed tractors from Whites too Oliver's love them all!
Thanks Dennis! Happy fourth to you too!
Great video Mr Ross
Glad you enjoyed it!
My dad has a hay crimper like that but it's rubber on steel rolls. It was my grandpa's and I don't remember seeing another one in our area so it a piece I don't want to let get away. I would like to find an oliver mower with a hitch to hook it to. I bought a tractor that came with an 82 mower but the mower doesn't have a hitch. I need to keep my eyes open for a parts machine that has a hitch maybe
It’s probably a 137 if it has rubber. I think they’re kind of neat because a lot of them got scrapped.
@rosstheoliverman we haven't used it for over 15 years. The nice thing is you can store them with the hitch up in the air so they don't take up much room. It has white wheels so I'm guessing it's from the 3 digit Era? I was thinking about digging it out this year to try it out but I didn't have time. Maybe next year 😆
if you have the public you can share their history with them
Hey Ross I have a 351 mower
Cool! They’re handy machines
Thanks Ross! I enjoyed the show😊 Im sure glad you included the 2020 and naa, you got to show your diversity. My tractors are all IH but I have a rainbows 🌈 worth of implements. Also I'm glad to hear you have a 4 row head foe the 7300, I was worried after all the horsing around with it you wouldnt get to play with it. Is your 64 drill a 8 foot or a 10 I can't tell. Now that I'm done haying, maybe I'll email you the pics of my drill and plows, I'll have some play time here for a bit I hope it rains though. Keep up the good work👍Thanks for the entertainment.
Thanks for watching!! The 64 drill is a 10 foot.
Its them Baby mama's calling to see about that increase in child support ......Or if your going to mow the trailer park little Leroy keeps getting ticks. And Congratulations on winning first place in your show lol
🤣🤣🤣
That was a great walk around Ross,I know you probably dont need another tractor I would like to see you get your hands on a row crop 70 Oliver ,awesome collection happy 4th of July to you
I have two Rowcrop 70’s. I like to find a Hart Parr 70.
Thanks for the tractor show and your information along with the equipment. What made you decide that Oliver was the brand that you decided that you wanted to collect/use? Also if Oliver/White was not available, what other brand would you have possibly taken an interest in collecting instead?
I grew up on them. I don’t know what made me take a liking to them other than that. I don’t know what other brand I would pick.
Go to red power round up some time you will be thoroughly impressed
Yeah, I wish I had time to go to more shows.
Ross, you mentioned something about a garden tractor at the 47 minute mark. Other than that Sears rig you brought home, do you have any garden tractors in your collection? Big Cub Cadet fan here 🙂
I’ll probably have 30+ garden tractors mostly walk behinds.
You probably wish you was smart enough to sell it all lol and that’s why dad and I have 12 tractors LOL
🤣🤣🤣
Add some finish protection while maintaining all that patina with the vice grip garage 'shine juice' czcams.com/video/HD7AvQZoYcU/video.html
I’ve seen that stuff that he sells I need to try it.
Tell Ross it’s a hay rake not a tillage tool
Tell ‘em is what I meant
Some people try to use it as a tillage tool 🤣
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks Paul!
