Introduction
Oliver 1950 Row-Crop Tractor
The Oliver 1950 is a row-crop tractor manufactured between 1964 and 1967 in Charles City, Iowa, USA. As part of the Oliver agricultural line, this machine was designed to provide high power output for demanding field operations, featuring a 116 horsepower engine and available in both two-wheel and four-wheel drive configurations.
Engine and Performance
The tractor is powered by a General Motors 4-53 liquid-cooled, two-cycle diesel engine. This 4-cylinder unit features a blower and a displacement of 212.4 cubic inches (3.5 liters). With a compression ratio of 21:1 and a rated speed of 2400 RPM, the engine is built for consistent performance under load. It utilizes a dual dry element air cleaner to ensure engine longevity in dusty agricultural environments.
Transmission and Drivetrain
The Oliver 1950 offers two primary transmission configurations. The standard gear transmission provides 6 forward and 2 reverse speeds. Alternatively, the Hydra-Power transmission system offers a partial power shift, allowing for a power shift to a lower speed within each gear, resulting in a total of 12 forward and 4 reverse gears for increased operational flexibility.
Hydraulics and PTO
The tractor is equipped with an open-center hydraulic system, providing a pump flow of 11.7 gpm (44.3 lpm) with a system capacity of 3.5 gallons (13.2 liters). The rear power take-off (PTO) is independent, operating at 540 RPM at an engine speed of 2400 RPM, which allows for the efficient operation of various implements.
Operator Environment and Dimensions
The operator station is of the open type, with an optional cab available for added protection. Steering is managed through a hydraulic power system, complemented by differential disc brakes. The tractor features a 105-inch wheelbase for 2WD models, with adjustable tread widths for both front and rear axles to accommodate different row-crop spacing requirements.
Conclusion
The Oliver 1950 is a robust, high-horsepower tractor tailored for row-crop applications requiring significant pulling power and versatile speed management. Its combination of a two-cycle diesel engine and the Hydra-Power transmission system makes it a suitable choice for mid-to-large scale farming operations of the 1960s.
