Replacement tractor

Near the time Dad died, he bought this Oliver because it had power steering. He adapted the same old blade, now much the worse for wear, to the hoist. That's me about 2000 after Dad died, plowing out Mom. I would have been about 52. This was a terrible tractor. Not heavy enough in the rear for the front bucket, it had fluid filled tires, and I welded up a frame to support several sections of old sidewalk, stacked like books on a shelf. It was an "industrial" tractor and geared WAY too fast

Really enjoyed your family history tractor post. But just to clarify, a "White Industrial" tractor is NOT the same as an "Oliver". Yes, White purchased Oliver and discontinued the Oliver brand replaced with the White brand, but they where NOT the same thereafter. An old Oliver tractor is still a good workhorse, a White, not so much. JMHO.
