A diesel-engined version was introduced in 1940 with a Buda-Lanova 4.9L engine [1] [2] [3] The Oliver 35 was an industrial tractor version of the 80 from 1937 to 1945. [ 4 ] Starting in 1937, the Oliver 80 was sold in Canada by Cockshutt as the Cockshutt 80, replacing the Oliver-built 18-28 .
One of five similar 4-4-0T engines: 2xSchull and Skibbereen Railway, Ireland, named Allen and Gabriel (after Mount Gabriel); 2xSarawak, Borneo, named Bintang and Bulang (moon & star in Malay language). Sarawak ordered third engine in 1915, to be named Mata Hari (eye of the day, or midday), but due to decline in teak trade post World War I ...
However, in the 1950s, Oliver was an industry leader through their promotion of diesel power. Oliver led the industry in the sale of diesel tractors for several years. The Oliver 66, 77 and 88 tractors of the 1948 to 1954 period, marked an entirely new series of Fleetline models. The 77 and 88 could be bought with either gasoline or
The 60 series was a four-cylinder follow-on to the six-cylinder Oliver 70. As the 70 was outsold by the less-expensive Farmall A, Allis-Chalmers Model B and John Deere Model B, Oliver introduced the 60 to compete. The 60 was followed by the Oliver 66, Super 66 and 660, each with incremental changes and upgrades, and was produced until 1964.
The 2.9 ton tractor was powered by a high compression Minneapolis-Moline four-cylinder 283 cu.in (4,637 cc) KED petrol engine which produced 46 hp and drove a gearbox with five forward and one reverse gears which gave it a top speed of 40 mph. [5] The model experienced poor sales due to its high cost of US$2,155 (1938) [5] (double that of a ...
The Oliver 1900 was a standard-type tractor, with wide-set front wheels. It was powered by naturally aspirated two stroke General Motors 4-53a 212.4-cubic-inch (3,481 cc) displacement four-cylinder diesel engine. The initial A series was built in 1960-61.
The two-stroke engine was chosen as a comparison to the more common four-stroke engines used, and partly as a result of the influence of Oliver Bulleid. The leading manufacturer of such two-stroke locomotive engines was General Motors, but the national shortage of foreign exchange meant that imported engines were unaffordable.
He also produced small numbers of 0-4-4ST, 2-4-0, 2-4-0T and 4-4-0T locomotives. Of 88 engines built to Jones' design (including 3 built as late as 1917), 74 passed to the LMS in 1923. A small 2-4-0T purchased secondhand from the Duke of Sutherland also made into LMS ownership.
