The Oliver is running and operating great. It would be nice if you and Victor could do a little bit of a restoration on it. Like replacing some of the hardware that's rusted and worn. And giving it a good cleaning and painting it. The Oliver would be something that Dan could use when he's a young man. If you could find an old Oliver just for parts especially undercarriage. It's great to see the old equipment being used but not abused. Thanks for taking us along with you as you make memories for Dan.
I love all tractors but when I was a kid I was partial to the John Deere’s as that’s all my grandpa had, then I seen an Oliver at the county fair tractor pulls one year and it stole the show I was impressed. Now years later I’ve been looking for one to restore like I did with my John Deere A. Great video man.
I've got a 1952 OC3 Oliver just like that but not running, never found a carburetor for it, I've had it now for 30 years, And it has new tracks when I got it. Great video 4Dan..👍🏼
Neat video, I was surprised you pulled both trees at once! The crawlers are hard to beat in the snow and mud. We've got an OC-6 and OC-46. Thanks for the great camera shots!
My son has 0c3 that has been owned by two families. Like new . Completely restored to new condition. with front blade. Amazed by what it can do. Think his is only 48 inches wide.
There is something very ‘in synch’ about this footage. A man really enjoying his machine in nature. It would be cool to see you pulling a long toboggan/2 people on skis; or a hayride cart through the forest. I think the purr of the engine is part of it as well, it doesn’t seem like an overly noisy tractor.
@@thomas7770 thanks 😊, ya it’s not a very loud machine compared to some of my other ones lol. I do actually do wagon and sleigh rides for the kids and family 😊
Very impressive makes me want to get my Oliver OC4 running again... I'm in Southeast Canada in New Brunswick. You got lots of views. I may have to upload some Oliver crawler vids on my channel, lol. Thanks for sharing there eh!
I got a lot of old machines old iron but I never had an opportunity to buy a crawler like that my grandfather he scrapped one out back when I was worried about 9 or 10 years old I wish that hadn't happened but anyway yeah that's a great looking machine and it definitely is running good
Hey thanks! And ya my grandfather got rid of a few things I wish he would have kept around to lol but like you I was to young to say anything about it lol but hopefully I’ll be able to keep these old things around and running for my kids! 😊
I usually am not into things like this, but I liked it right from the beginning, I would love to take this out for a ride for an hour or two, looks like a load of fun🤪You don't see those everyday.
Nice machine is a farm tractor as the low hitch is for field equipment, for logging there are arches and risers for the hitch to put the log wieght on the hitch.
lol that would have been a crapy time lol on a older video when we where testing it after getting it running we had to put a throw out bearing in it but at least it was on solid ground 😂
Oued the old Cat D2, post WW II to skid elk AND poles out of the quakies in December one year! Another elk away from the haystack where it fell in another December! Good memories!
What brand of tractor is it I know it's a crawler type but the yellow paint leads me to think minniappolis moline please let me know what it i just love it looks fun to drive would love to have one myself oh what's the horsepower and is it gas or diesel
It is an Oliver cletrac OC3. Oliver took over cletrac in the mid 40s, the oc3 was made between 51-57 i believe this one is a 53 if I remember correctly. It’s a gas and about 22hp, about the same as a ford n series tractor 😊
Lmao 🤣 it’s funny when people point out the ol canadian accent cuz I forget we even have one. Last time I was in the states I went to Florida and I was talking to my wife in a store about what to buy and I said eh a few times and the cashier was giggling and finally i said what! He says I’m sorry but your Canadian obviously arent you? just never actually heard a Canadian accent like that before 😂
ha ha im just messing with you , seriously though that machine is sweet , the speed and wide track on that is impressive ,love the old machines and am starting to collect them myself beginning with a 1961 international td340@@4Dan21
@@idahormj66 oh nice! That’s a cool machine too! I love collecting the old machines and saving them, they are better then anything they make today in my opinion 😊
Yes! They aren’t as easy to find but you can come across them online and I believe I have found a place not far from me that sells parts for them but I still have to go check it out to make sure 😊
@@4Dan21 are You up in Canadian territory looks awesome log skidding l love old tractors there the Best the new ones arent all the great like the Oliver and farmalls gorda Massey furguson cases internacional harvester etc nothing Will ever beat them how about a cat d8 with pony engine old is better than the new all day every day
@@markwinnicki8802 I’m in eastern Ontario and YES! I prefer the old machines for sure! You don’t need a laptop and an engineering degree to fix the old machines 😂 and yes I believe the pony motor was the way to go on big machines! Can’t beat the old iron!
@@4Dan21 i'm right there with dan they all should go back to the drawing board and build them like they used to i fixed a bunch and drove a bunch of the old times and loved every minutes of it theres just something special about old iron that put a Big smile on ones face and the feeling that generales through your body when riding the ol girl i live about 12 Miles from the american SIDE of niagara falls ny how far are You in Ontario from US we're almost nieghbors ha ha
@@johndeerekid8490 Yes I could be he is an idiot. I had to totally rebuild the undercarriage of my MC including machining the idlers and rollers to take tapered roller bearings, new pins and bushings in my rails and me rebuilding my final drives. I have 10k in parts in mine. I used a hole saw to cut relief holes in every other grouser 15 years ago.
@@johntolvstad7210 If you actually got up off your butt to look at a snowmobile you would see pressure relief holes through the track so that the track will not fill with to much snow and rip, I dont have to look as I own four snowmobiles and two crawler tractors both of which have a snow pressure relief hole in every other grouser.
I just love and admire theses old machines !! Keep them alive !!
What a sweet heart! Love that old iron!
Excellent footage! Growing up on a farm, this was the 1st machine we were put on (6yrs old)!
That’s awesome! 😊

Man, that crawler practically floats through that snow
I'd love to drive that Oliver, total fun working in the snow
Yes it definitely is! 😊

Oh nice! Ya that little tractor keeps surprising me too lol. Glad you enjoy it! 😊
I had a oliver cletrac co3 46 in wide 10 inch track , A lot of fun but you have to stay on top of them
Todella hieno kone🤩☀️ kiitos videostasi
Great little crawler love the video stay safe out there buddy 👍
Thanks man! glad you enjoyed it! 😊
I'll be dipped. An old tractor with a conversation kit. Awesome one of tew. 👍👍
My son has 0c3 that has been owned by two families. Like new . Completely restored to new condition. with front blade. Amazed by what it can do. Think his is only 48 inches wide.
Yes they are really good machines for the size of them 😊
Judging by the fact that one tractor has already broken down here, and now the second one, it seems to me that this place is enchanted :)
Lmao you could be right 😂
What a cool piece of machinery!
hi there at least it has a heated cab . lol great show that thing moves right along .best to all john
lol 😂 glad you enjoyed it! 😊
After the 1:30 mark, you have some really wonderful footage of that machine riding through the forest in the snow!
I was thinking the same thing when I edited it! :p

Yes you are correct! 😊
I had a oc3 in the 80s to haul my wood out,worked good for its size
Ya they definitely are great little beast 😊
So such a cool machine. So neat
Cool rig. Runs great.
Thanks 😊
Fuel tank and hood looks exactly like my my parents 1947 B F Avery. Shift pattern same also. Herculies engine.Pro with pully looks same also
I remember my uncle put in a clutch in the Oliver crawler when it was in the calves pen three foot deep mud (60 yrs ago)
lol that would have been a crapy time lol on a older video when we where testing it after getting it running we had to put a throw out bearing in it but at least it was on solid ground 😂
That thing is fast.....cool stuff.
Another Great Video 📹 😊
Очень крутой трактор! Не ломайте, держите его.
Yes I will do my best to keep it going! 😊
Impressive little oliver
Thanks 😊
I had a Oliver o C3 Forty six inch track 0:02 lot of fun. You have to stay on top of them though. Yeah it has a clark transmission
That was great!
Thanks 😊
Oued the old Cat D2, post WW II to skid elk AND poles out of the quakies in December one year! Another elk away from the haystack where it fell in another December! Good memories!
Sounds like fun! 😊
Nice machine dude! Exactly how i would have unfrozen those logs... hit it with the track , chain up... and roll! Victors's skill and luck! lol
lol thanks man 😂
Nice tractor. You might want to slow down a bit, save on that undercarriage. Speed is hard on undercarriages.
Thanks 😊 and ya I just wanted to see how smooth it was in the snow, if I go that fast over rocks I’ll be thrown off 😂
That’s sooooo cool
Yeah I’ve done that before on a 1010 jd
😎👍
Прикольный луноход.
🤣 thanks
clee trac was a crawler as well
I grew up on Oliver’s.
What year is the crawler?
There where made between 51-57 I believe this one is a 53 😊
Nice Machine
Thanks 😊
What year is the tractor crawler
I know a guy from eastern Canada when I hear him. Ontario, Nova Scotia? Surely not from New Foundland 😂
lol Ontario :p
That sure is a wide stance on that crawler.
To remove that bolt you may need a straw from mc Donald's
In desperation I tried it one time on a water pump bolt
Little things mean a lot

It's an Oliver and I think a 68 that would be center to center of the track
Where does one get this magic easy out tool set
lol Amazon :p
Is it a Oliver or a kletrack ?
Well it’s an Oliver Cletrac OC3, but it’s after Oliver took over Cletrac. I believe this one is a 53 😊
That easy oat worked great. Haha. Jk. I like the accent

Is it hydraulic drive thanks
Hey good question! No it’s gear driven like other old tractors of that era with wheels 😊
I like liver an onions

The faster you travel the faster you wear undercarriage!!
