I am soon to be in the possession of a 1946 Oliver Row Crop 60. It's in pretty rough shape. My brother-in-law bought it to use in an experimental fuel project. Basically he developed an alternative fuel device and wanted an engine to prove it out on. He built his own &quot;carb&quot;, ran the engine on the tractor and now wants it gone from his house. It was driven to his house by the previous owner, but the clutch disintegrated in the process.

I went up there over the weekend and we pulled the motor and looked it over. Here's what it needs at a minimum: clutch plate (the part with the friction plates on it), throw out bearing, intake/exhaust manifold, carb rebuild, radiator. We have a radiator out of a Chevette that looks remarkably close in size to the original (which is FUBAR). My brother-in-law has already put new points, condensor, etc. in for his purposes. I have located the other parts I need in various places. The sheet metal is rough, at best. It is missing a fender and I am not really sure what else is missing or not working. But parts and time will be my total investment in this piece of history, well, that and driving it about 10 miles to my house from his. 

My projects to this point have been lawnmowers and motorcycles...a lot of motorcycle projects. I recently moved out of town and will probably use this tractor mostly to drag various implements like plows and discers to plow up for a garden and maintain my motocross track.

I intend to make a three point hitch. I have some fabrication/design skill and I have access to products and people to help me out so I do it right. 

So I suspect that I'll be hanging around this forum and thought I'd introduce myself. Hopefully I'll be able to contribute something back to the other folks on here at some point.  <!-- s:D --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_biggrin.gif" alt=":D" title="Very Happy" /><!-- s:D -->
