I am young and love tractors as some of you know but I don't know a lot about Oliver tractors. I would love to get one of their later diesels but what are parts for them like and what quality of tractor are they. Also when did they go out of business or get bought out? Tell me what you know, I'm all ears. Thanks Caleb

i've owned four olivers 770,880,1650,and 1755. i've had no problem getting parts from my agco dealer or online. the last olivers produced or at least labeled "oliver" were about 1975. these were the 55 series. there were some smaller horsepower/utility tractors that oliver imported and painted green.(500,600,1350,1365,1465, maybe others). oliver did produce it's own utility in the 50's and 60's - the super55/550. it was superior to any of the imports. it's confusing to me why oliver ever imported the David Browns or Fiats. if the tractor has a cast iron main frame then it's a true oliver. oliver tractors were reliable well engineered tractors, if taken care of.

At least a couple of the Olivers were actually rebadged David Browns and are extremely difficult to get parts for. I believe perhaps they were the 500 and 600. Good tractors just hard in the USA to get parts for.
These rebadged DB's are not even listed in many of the Oliver lists on many of the Oliver sites. Psuedo orphans I guess.

Some time in the 60s white took over Oliver, maybe late 50s now for sure that exact year. Olivers are good tractors and for the most part you can still get parts for them unless your looking at a few of the odd ball ones, like to super99 etc. I can't say much as far as the diesel ones since I have only owned one of them and I sold it less then a month after getting it. The pump was turned up way to much to suit me
