I have been at this site for only about 6 months (a friend on another forum refered me to YT when I asked a question about an Oliver). I am an automotive and diesel mechanic (among many other skills) and I own about 7 tractors (all red, all sizes), but I did not have a manual for this tractor because it was my neighbor's. I asked my question and several folks tried to help me out. A couple of nice folks also refered me to the "Archive Search." I found that a former post (about 1 year old) had covered in detail what I was looking for. I made a few mistakes trying what the old post had described (the original question was about adding an auxiliary hydraulic assembly). I brought a few more questions back to the forum and they were answered. I finally got the Oliver working the way it should. I appreciate all the folks that try to answer a question, without offering an attitude. I have found both here, but I find more helpful and knowledgable people here, instead of the smart-aleck ones. That is why I keep coming back! I have left several "farm forum" sites that have had smart-alecks running good folks off. I pray that that never happens here. There are no dumb questions, some I find tiring after reading them for the fouth time, but the person that asks them may be new to this site {as we all were at some point} and may not know that there is even an Archive feature. I prefer to see a question asked 10 times, as to seeing a person ridiculed for asking it in the first place. I have found that if I read the first post of a thread and am not interested... I skip the entire thread. There are many threads that I find uninteresting. But... the topic must have interested someone because it gets asked and answered. If it irritates ya, just skip it!

A Brief History of Tractors in Australia - by Bob Kavanagh. After Captain Cook's exploration of the east coast in 1770 the British Government decided to establish a penal colony in Australia. The first fleet arrived in 1788 and consisted mainly of convicts who were poorly equipped and new little of farming techniques. The colony remained far from self-supporting and it was not until the early 1800's that things started to improve. Free settlers started to arrive, they followed the explorers across the mountains and where land was suitable set up farms. T
