Oliver 60 in Eighty Four

brownsr5791 · Feb 4, 2019

Just joined the forum. I inherited a 1948 Oliver 60 with the rare wide front that has been in my wife's family since new. It resided in eastern Idaho until I acquired it after my father-in-law passed away when I took it to Eighty Four, PA. The Oliver survived the 1976 Teton dam break but was inundated with flood water and debris. It was cleaned, repaired, and put back in service after the flood but my wife's parents lost everything else. The tractor was used to plow the garden during the summers and snow during the harsh Idaho winters. It came with attached plows and a home built snow plow that has since rotted away. It's now retired and being restored. I also have a Kubota BX2350 that I use to mow our acreage.

Hi Steve, hi Denice,

Welcome to TBN. My hometown had an Oliver dealer until about 15 years ago. It was one of the oldest and latter remaining dealers. Shepard's Equipment Company. Dad had a 77 that I put many hours on pulling an Oliver T60 square hay baler. Also had a mounted two row corn picker for it. Neighbor had a 55. As a kid he'd hire me to mow hay with it and a 3pt mounted sickle mower. I put a lot of hours on that tractor too. Several local collectors around here. Real common to see Oliver equipment in local parades.

When you figure out how post some pics of your tractor. We love pics!!!!
