The was a film put out by the Oliver Tractor Corporation in the late early 1970's to dealers. promote the new 1800, 1900 tractors (in both row crop and weatland), and a wide variety of the implements. This also contains footage and promotional information on the 50, 550, 660, 770, and 880 model Oliver's I do not claim any copy-write over this video, and to my knowledge it should be public domain. It was converted from an old VHS of my father's. I believe this was also for sale at one time in the Floyd county museum in Charles City IA.

I have a 1550 diesel and would'nt let it go for anything, it is a workhorse. A UPS driver has tried for years to buy it from me with no luck, I hope my fellow Oliver owners feel the same as I do about my Oliver.

To bad Oliver never made it to the big leagues, they were so smooth

I remember seeing this at a dealer meeting. It seems like just yesterday to me and you know, Oliver was years ahead of the others in design and features. Too bad that White flushed them down the drain with such poor management.

How would I get a copy of these videos for my home use. During the winter months I like to watch old Tractor and Farming videos.

Thanks for sharing

Oliver was one of the best tractor manufacturers of the 20th century, and the first tractor I ever drove was an Oliver 1650.

300 pound grille? I'd hate to have to take that off...

Thanks Ronald for putting this up. Oliver is the machinery love of my life. I still farm with 40 year old Olivers.

Dad had a 1950-T Oliver. T indicating Turbo. My grandpa was crossing an old bridge that hadn't been crossed in 6 years, but it was a short cut to where they were going, and pulling a man operated grader behind it. Just when the front wheels made it to the road on the other side the bridge gave way. The tractor dropped 25ft and landed on it's wheels and the bridge flipped the grader on top of the cab of the tractor. Tractor ws still running and trying to climb out. This happened in 1969. Sold it

We had an 1800 c series made in 1964 on the farm. Dad called an auction and said screw you guys. if you want anything, then buy it. I still miss my 1800 Oliver. what a machine

Great video, really liked it...the 1800 which came out in 1960 was a good tractor and they got better with later models with the 1850 and 1855.
