Downloaded, yes ... actually read and took notes, no I was after the last page and the parts info :) I'll go back and really study!!

Pitt was a NO when I called ... and Mr. Scheaffer has not called back yet. Wonderful info on the S670! I thought there had to be a relative somewhere! :-)

Mitzie (Mitsubishi MT2001FD) was my Late Husband's tractor and I have tried to maintain her ... she works hard around my place, but I am not sure I take good enough care of her. My Mechanic is not a fan of grey tractors, but he works on her with minimal fuss He had her in the back pasture...

I just bought this tractor and it will be delivered on Monday. I need to put a new seat on it, and a canopy. Where do I start to look????

LOLOLOL ... the thought crossed my mind!! I am getting a disk, harrow, planter and sprayer in the deal. I need the harrow and the sprayer. The disc ( I have a tiller) and the planter are going down the road. If we get into the Oliver and she has major holes ... then she gets rehomed, I have...

She does!! He sent a video of her running and going down the road!! I am getting a disk, harrow, planter and sprayer. And I NEED the harrow and the sprayer!!

I actually asked that question!! And the seller told me parts were not difficult. I sorta wonder about the veracity of that since Oliver is out of business ... BUT the antique tractor community is a thing and they love to restore stuff. It may be a hunt, but I think it is doable :-)

I have been well schooled on ethanol and my equipment!! My Mechanic has experience ... I think he was hoping I would let him at least inspect any beastie that I was dragging home. But ... I was unsupervised. And comfortable with the price. AND it came with free implements!!!

Taking notes!!! I love having spare parts around before things break!!

Thank you!!! My late husband farmed wheat in KS on the family farm and they had Olivers and MinMolines. I think he'd be pleased with my purchase :) My mechanic will just have to learn to love it, I guess. Now to find Oliver a seat and a shade cover!!!

So just to mow the pastures, I am good?? Have a diesel with a f/e loader already

It is to be the dedicated bush mower tractor. I have a 24hp 4wd Mitsubishi with a F/E loader to do everything else. I just HATE dealing with the mowing deck!!!

I may have bought a 1955 Oliver Super 55 with four implements, delivered, for $2,800. My mechanic is rolling his eyes because it is elderly and it is gas. But he was at his folks' place or wheat harvest, I was unsupervised!!! Is he going to be right in the long run? Did I want a diesel??

Got the rotary on Mitzie (MT2001D w/FEL) ... worst Spring job for me But - coming off the field, there was a little smoke of the engine. Got her parked and walked around ... the fuel solenoid-y thing that kills the engine is dripping/leaking hard. Or something close to it. Looks like the hose...

Mitzi (my tractor) had new rear tires, and the hydraulic hose on the f/e loader repaired. We've been working hard all summer :-) I've taken the brush cutter off and stored it in the tractor stall. I would like to put the tiller on and start working ground to to the garden in the spring BUT ...
