Not a heavily modified Oliver, it is a street sweeper that used a stock Oliver or Oliver Hart Parr as a power plant. Oliver sold PowerPacks as they called them to many equipment manufacturers. Many different applications have come up in the Oliver magazine over the years.
I have never seen one of those in person, but there was a thread on the Jetstar.Minneapolis-Moline website 10 or more years ago:
That is an Austin-Western street sweeper. The hood, grille, front bolster and front wheel (and presumably the engine) were Minneapolis-Moline. From the rear of the engine back was built by Austin-Western. I don't think they used a MM transmission because of the drive wheel size and placement.

your mayor actually knows how to drive a tractor/street sweeper for the photographer
