• FEATURING: Hart-Parr 22-40. Hart-Parr began their legacy with large prairie-type tractors at the turn of the century. Known as the 40 or 22-40, this tractor had a new engine that was nothing more than two 10-20 engines put together. Feature tractor owners: Mark and Roger Schuller - Harland, IN.

• Grand Champion Oliver: Corey Verstraeten's Rise to the Top. In 2017, Corey was named Grand Champion of the Chevron Delo Tractor Restoration Competition for his restoration of a 1972 Oliver 1755. 

• Annual Reports: The Overlooked Collectible. 

• Ask the Oliver Mechanic: Question and answer with Larry Harsin.

• Cletrac Facts: Oliver-Cletrac in Africa, Part 2. South Africa was known as the powerhouse of Africa, and Oliver always had a strong presence in this country.

• New Zealand Vintage Machinery - 20th Anniversary Rally. While an Oliver tractor may not be a rarity in the US, in other countries, they are quite a find and quite desirable. 

• Another Oliver User: Jeff Schalo - Corcoran, MN.

• Dave and Carol Preuhs. Possibly the biggest accomplishment besides raising four children is keeping and maintaining the family's 137-year-old farm.
