Oliver Heritage Issue #117 Oct/Nov 2023
- FEATURING: Oliver 2255. The first production 2255 rolled off the line on October 13, 1972. This model was marketed in the US as the Oliver 2255. However, tractors destined for Canada were painted Cockshutt’s Vermillion red and marketed as the White 2255. Tractors were built as 2-wheel drive models or with the front-wheel-assist. Feature tractor owner: Harvey W. Zehr, Jr. - Urbandale, IA.
- New Zealand Special: Hart-Parr 12-24. Hart-Parr had a strong export division during the 1920s. It was strong enough that the name of the country where each tractor was destined to go was cast into the radiator. The New Zealand Special 12-24 was one of those “special” tractors.
- Classic Tractor Hardware: A good restoration consists of much more than paint. Hardware is a necessary component of every project, but trying to locate each piece from dealers or suppliers can be a lengthy process… unless you contact Classic Tractor Hardware.Bill Martinson is a retired design engineer with a passion for Oliver and White.
- Olivers to the Rescue: Oliver and the Blizzard. Bad weather on the prairie can be quite humbling and an immense challenge to deal with at times.
- Cletrac Facts: Oliver-Cletrac HGR Crawler. Work was already being done on a small rubber-tracked crawler during WWII, and in 1945, the model HGR was put into production. This model was the first new post-war model Oliver introduced; a result of testing this new, revolutionary design during the previous years.
- Another Oliver User: Today, we visit Richard Giebenhain from Maple Lake, Minnesota. He grew up on his family’s 32-cow dairy farm near Hamel, MN.
