Tominator Posted September 8, 2012 Report Share Posted September 8, 2012 Finally got around to posting a picture of the finished product. Not 100% happy with the finished product for the money I paid. Kind of felt sorry for the guy who restored it. He had a pretty bad stroke halfway through the restoration, but it runs very good now, so very happy with that aspect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ultradog Posted September 8, 2012 Report Share Posted September 8, 2012 Tractor? Did I hear the word tractor? I like those old Ollies. 770 isn't quite as cool as it's older sister the 77 with those gorgeous side cutrains but it's still a handsome tractor none the less.

Tominator Posted September 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2012 Looks great Chris, what model is it? I'd love to get some restoration done on or old Ford 3600. It's a 1963 Oliver 770. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tominator Posted September 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2012 Looks good to me Chris. Glad to hear you are at least happy with how it is running. Yeah, poor guy could only paint with his right hand. His left hand was/is about totally useless, so there's a lot of drip marks and a lot of spots he missed because he couldn't hold the sprayer with the left hand. I don't think he made too much money on the project either because he had to hire out a lot of the mechanical work. Couldn't imagine trying to do the work you have to do in a restoration with one hand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
archerjg Posted September 9, 2012 Report Share Posted September 9, 2012 Very nice Oliver 770. Looks good. Dad has a 1939-40 John Deere L that I want to restore for him. The Oliver is good looking. Archerjg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
