Hi all,

I have a 1939 Oliver 70 Standard rusting away on my driveway (it came with the house.) I don't want to leave it there to degrade any more than it already has but am not ready to launch into a restoration any time soon, so would like to decide if I should move it to shelter or find someone who can make good use of it.

Basic info:

Serial #304857
Engine block markings: G18X   D600 A 616

I'm mechanically competent but have little experience working on vehicles, and zero experience with antique Oliver tractors. After a five-minute inspection I know that:

- I'm not sure if the engine is stuck or how to tell easily. 
- The big power takeoff pulley spins easily but I'm guessing it's not engaged
- Radiator fan moves ever so slightly (belt is on.)
- At this point the front wheels are turned left and buried so I can't open the left engine cover more than a few degrees so can't get to spark plugs
- Gearshift seems stuck but I haven't had a chance to play with clutch and to try to &quot;persuade&quot; it to move
- Exhaust manifold is a rusty mess

I'll try to attach photos to this post.

Anyway... If someone would be kind enough to look up the numbers above and share any additional info they might point to, I would really appreciate it. 

Also, advice on what to do in the near term would be great!
