Yep, there’s a lot of turning. Plus the top speed is 6 mph, so there’s that
As someone who grew up with them, I always wished my dad and grandpa could have been into something cooler. Like restoring and collecting 60s muscle cars.
Look at it this way. In a few years, there are going to be kids whose grandpas and dads were into video games and graphic novels. Oof.

Got the Oliver Super 77 hooked to the Hesston PT-10 yesterday evening and mowed the back field off. First time that tractor did work in a decade.
Next tractor to be dragged out and reconditioned is my Oliver 550. It was retired due to governor problems about 12 years ago. I miss being able to sneak under tree branches at the edge of the fields with it.
I couldn't tell you how many hats I have had go under the bush hog. Trees must hate hats or enjoy smacking me in the head is all I can say...

I love those old Olivers. If I could have just one antique tractor, it’d be a 77 or 66 or something along those lines. Beautiful machines.
My (not so antique) JD tangled with a tree branch just yesterday. The exhaust pipe almost got laid down in my lap. Man, that happened fast.
The last tractor my Grandpa used before my uncle took over the farm was an Oliver 88.
I have never really worked on engines. My experience is woodworking, metalworking, and Jeeps. I’m already learning a lot from this tractor. The Farmall Touch Control Hydraulic system quit working on me. So I figured out how to fix that. I plan on rebuilding it and the hydraulic pump.
Already changed the voltage alternator. And I plan on rebuilding the carburetor.
I’m hoping to get a good jump on the trailer by this weekend as well. I’m having fun
When they are warm from use they are very subject to external influence...
That's looking great! Very nice!
