- This is a Promotional film made by the Oliver Tractor company in the 1950's to promote their industrial line of tractors, and available accessories. It's features footage, and technical information about the 77,88, and 900 industrial tractors made by Oliver. I found this on an old VHS tape of my fathers, and to my knowledge its public domain, and I felt that the world might be interesting to see this rare old footage. I make no claims to copy-write, and this was available for sale at one point by the Floyd Co museum in Charles City IA
Had some Oliver farm and Oliver White backhoe tractors.
Early days they had good stuff.
I've watched both of your videos and they are great. Being a huge Oliver fan, I enjoyed them very much. I've seen brochures on these attachments and have even gotten see several of them at shows, and I have to say that seeing them in action was just as nice. Thank you for posting them.
The Oliver factory was in Charles City IA. Talked to a local guy in Floyd IA that was part of the scrapping when the factory was sold. He said it all went to China. He said they came in, took very detailed picture, and disassembled the factory and had planned to reassemble once it arrived in China.
It’s a damn shame what they’ve done
It’s criminal
Wow is that awesome. thank you for posting this.
thanks for uploading this.
I'm fixin to go drive to my local Oliver dealer and take one of everything.
They left out the Oliver accessory for all models, the Oliver FT-100 through the FT-600 series flamethrowers. And the metal track systems also.
The 60 Industrial made quite a few appearances in this video, and at 20:13 is even called a 66.
I know a guy who has at least 3 strait line loaders... One did run, but hasn't for a couple years. The other two are for parts I guess...
Also, how rare are these machines? I haven't ever seen an Oliver grader, scraper, or loader in action, or even in pictures.
***** Oh. I have actually seen one or two Oliver-Lull loaders in pictures, but that's about it. It's sad that a lot of these machines aren't around anymore- they would really bring out the spectators to tractor shows.
Oliver never did stop improving, did they?
