Oliver Old Style Streamline 88 Registry
Oliver Farm Equipment decided to update the Oliver 80 and include the styling that was on the model 70 and 60. The first batch of test tractors were hand built in late 1945 and 1946. I have read different numbers but somewhere between 100 and 300 tractors were built for further testing. This was also a way for Oliver to get started on the testing for the future Fleetline tractor series. I know where one of the 1946 tractors and possibly a second. We want to start collecting information from current owners to find out how many of the possible 2500 built are still around.
Information I would like to collect is Serial Number, Configuration, current condition.
Example: 920008, Industrial, Restored.
From the serial number lists I have found these numbers
Row Crop
1947 120001 120352 = 352 built
1948 120353 121300 947 built
Standard
1947 820001 820135 = 135 built
1948 820136 820485 = 349 built
Industrial
1947 920001 920015 = 15 built
1948 920016 920265 = 249 built
Total according to the serial numbers is about 2047 I have read that there were 2500 built.
If you want to add a tractor contact me here or there is a Facebook page with the same name as the post title that you can check out.
Thanks for your help.
