I still have to leave it outside! Wife was talking about painting the tractor blue can you believe that! There are a couple small tractor pulls around here I wanted her to try and she says I should paint it blue, I guess I'll be driving! Greg
 
have not seen a blue one . every color but. red is very popular , white maybe next black and assorted colors of green . Blue maybe nice .
 
Who knows,Kansas Turnpike Blue might work. There's at least one more out there painted that color.
 
Greg, you need to park the Oliver in flower bed. I have a dearborn plow in a raised flower bed. Are those Siberian irises?
 
Yes George they are Siberian Iris and I get an ear full if I blow grass with the lawn mower on the way by. LOL ,I should park it in the flower bed after I took it for a joy ride today it quit on the road I'm going to have to clean the carb and tank again. Thinking about putting a filter in line. Greg
 
Not an Oliver guy but have seen a few and wondered why the innovation in that brand didn't propel it to the top or at least stay in the race. Some of his applications seemed crude to me, but the functionality was there early on; he had some good ideas.

Question: Tires seem abnormally large for such a critter. Are they original and if you know any history, is that the way Ollie did it? Why? Seems you would need a huge tranny to get a reasonably sized hp engine for that sized tractor geared low enough to drive tires with that kind of diameter and get any kind of usable work out of it.

Thanks,
Mark
