Oliver must have offered a pretty full line. I see some oddball Ollie stuff pop up every once in awhile. Gets my attention, kind of like that shade of green.
There was an Oliver square baler at the auction I picked the 756 up at. I thought about buying it briefly but decided to pass.

The "oddest" piece of equipment  I've seen was a FORD 4 row p/t planter Wink. A neighbor 4 miles away ran it for years, I've never seen another one. There were 2 Oliver planters in the area though LOL !!
WOW, someone wanted it pretty bad (the spreader), it's gone already Smile

I grew up pitching into an Oliver spreader.  Ground driven, but it had to have the hitch reinforced right at the front of the box.  It served a lot of years (1950 to mid 60's).

Saw a restored one in Blooming Prairie MN a week ago next to a vegetable stand selling sweet corn. I've seen a few around here over the years. Used to be a very good dealer in Pine Island and one in Chatfield so they were pockets of Olivers and Whites in my area.

Dad used to rent a Ford 4 row planter with fiberglass boxes from the landlord back in the 1970's. Used to be a dealer out on a farm near by. I should ask Dad if it was any good. It got traded for a new 7000 planter in '78 and Dad rented that until about 1988 or so when we both bought the planter together at the landlord's auction.
