- FEATURING: Hart-Parr 22-45. Hart-Parr was still in its first decade of production when the 22-45 joined the lineup. Making improvements with each model built, the replacement for the 22-45 was the 30-60. By that time, the tractor was nicknamed Old Reliable. But, the 22-45 was the tractor that set the company up for reliability, launching the nickname and gaining the company great achievements. Feature tractor owner: Brian Kestel - Manhattan, IL.
- Oliver & MM Merger: The 1970s were not a solid time for brands under the White Motor flag. With several well-known companies thrown together, each of them wanted to be in charge. The result was a flip-flop of colors and makes that still creates confusion among many collectors.
- Material Shortages: It's Nothing New. The entire country has suffered shortages and delays in the last couple years, but that’s nothing new. While today, lots are filled with cars and trucks waiting on ships, Oliver had their own problems in 1946, but they worked around them to continue production.
- Cletrac Facts: OC-HG - The Little Tractor BIG in Quality and Performance. There was truly nothing else on the market like the HG when it was introduced in 1939. All other crawlers were larger, heavier, more expensive, and had a lot less ground clearance limiting their row crop usage. The HG put crawler power within reach of many farmers who otherwise never believed it attainable.
- Another Oliver User: Bob Rocheleau. A sense of beauty and serenity comes over you driving into the Rocheleau farmstead. "Our first one (Oliver) was an Oliver Super 88 gas. It had a wide front and remote hydraulics. We ran that one from 1994 until 2007."
- Logan Krone: A Farmer's Life as Art. Logan first caught our attention on Facebook after sharing a sunset photo from the seat of his 1650. Like it or not, social media does keep us connected. As the sun set over the horizon in Central Minnesota, he recognized a photo-worthy moment and pulled his phone out to take a picture. “I don’t know what it is, just sometimes I guess I take pictures at the right time,” he laughed.
- Weber Farm Equipment - Continued. In 1962, Weber Equipment was born. The office and shop found a home in a Quonset building that stands yet today next to the newer adjacent office, showroom, and shop built in the 1970s.
