1948 Oliver loader/tractor, industrial, going to the scrap yard soon. Tried to sell it ($1400) but all I would get are jaw flappers. Has an engine problem...starts and runs fine but locks up when it warms up. Local geniuses think it's a broken crank. ??? Also, one king pin needs attention, Otherwise a hard working tractor that will outlift any Kubota of equal hp. Ware loader, but we can use the bucket so it stays. Located in western Massachusetts. Interested???? email [email protected]
 
Here's a pix.

It is kind of hard to tell what model of tractor that is, but it is NOT a 1948 88. With the 20 inch front wheels, it is either a super or 3 diget model Oliver industrial tractor built after 1955.
 
I think it might be an 880, either way I wish it was closer to Michigan, just can't justify the cost of driving all the way out east for it. Hopefully someone will, it can't be worth too much for scrap.
 
If it is an Oliver why does if say CASE right there on the hood. Sure doesn't look like any Olivers I have ever seen and I know they never had them with Case on the hoods of them
 
Why doe sit say Case on it? Not familiar with industrial models, but a odd looking Ollie 88 if that is what it is!

Since you keep the bucket the loader ain't worth much but scrap, tractor has issues so it's a $700 fixer upper. You'll likely need to settle for a lot closer to the scrap value, but I guess you can always go down, can't go up.

Is this a cheap attempt to advertise in the forums? Maybe you're just asking too much. It's also a good idea to know exactly what you have. It doesn't look like an Oliver to me but I'm no expert. Dave
 
Seems to me there's a lot of room between $1400 and what you'll get for that for scrap. I'd think you might want to call a yard near you and see what they're paying per ton and how much they charge for tires. I don't imagine you could get more than $500 for it for scrap, and it would be too bad in my opinion to waste it when it could be used for something.

There appears to be several people posting here who know little or nothing about the evelution of farm equiptment and the adaptation of that equipment into the emerging construction market in the 50s. Every US farm tractor manufacturer was frantically trying to adapt a farm tractor to stand up to the rigors of construction demands.(heavier front axles,better brakes,nose protection,beefier frames for loader/backhoe applications.)Many companies adapted production components from other applications to quickly enter this market. (bar axel, truck hubs and wheels/tires) This tractor is an excellent example. I add here that CASE offered the first truely intergrated TLB.
