Not very bright no ear protection... when I was that age grandad always made m we wear Ear protection .. I'm grateful for it always safety around farm shop and operating tractors and equipment..... only accident i recall farmland got his finger bit off ..great video thanks For posting
My dad had an 88 diesel and when he bought it, it had thrown #6 rod and it had a patch welded on both sides of the block. It leaked a little oil around the weld other than that it didnt seem to hurt anything. I wish I still had it. He pulled an oliver plow but it was older than yours I believe. It didnt have the square beam. I remember the tailwheel liked to go crazy when going down the road and it would almost flip the plow over. You had to slow down until it calmed down. I plowed very nice though.
Once again, the coolest thing I have ever seen, but it got me to thinking....when I was a kid in the 60's I have a vague memory of a local farmer with a Detroit-powered farm tractor, but cannot begin to guess what make it could have been. I know a company called "Dynahoe" produced backhoes with 3 or 4 cyl. Detroits. Did they also produce tractors for farm use, or was there another manufacturer that would have been built from the factory with Detroit power?
@@RJ1999x I am familiar with the Steiger here in the US, but makes of tractors are "regional" so to speak. No farmers in my area were running Steigers. None of those other makes used Detroit power here, in the US anyway.
@@David_Richard_241 Seeing I'm in Wisconsin, which is in the US Massey Ferguson used the Detroit engine in the 98 Oliver used it in the 99, the 990 and the 1955. Steiger used it in the first series of tractors. John Deere used it in the 8020 and 435 tractors.
@@RJ1999x Interesting. i grew up in Ohio, mostly around Olivers and MF's (which always had the Perkins) I suppose my vague memory could have been an Oliver.
My brother had a 1900 with the DD, could hear him 3 miles away. I guess the noise didn't bother him much, he always was almost deaf as a post anyways! The place I drive for, has an old Ford 7000 truck tractor with the V654, back when I had to deliver with it, we kept it local as it was slow as a slug and loud as all get out. They would try to call on the cell when I was driving, you couldn't hear your self think in there. It's now yard only and mostly retired. Parts for those are pricey as all get out! Thats a good clean conversion in the tractor, simple to just use the clutch housing and adaptor plats from a 1900 Oliver 4-54 detroit as they are the same.
Tween the bark of the pipe and the Oliver howl of the drive train; I knew what it was right off, nothing sounds like an Oliver Nothing 👍. That Oliver runs good pulling 3 plows 👍
Love the video! I grew up on my grandpas 770 Gasser. Learned to plow, disk, and plant on that tractor. I'm working towards buying a few Olivers myself and using them for a hobby farm, raising a few steers, making a little hay, and growing a little corn.
love farmin 3rd generation dairy . Cant stand the noise of a detroit. After years of Forage harvesters and squeaky belts, lose sloppy pto’s, blowers, airbrakes and Rifles. I’d be deadening that soumd
