Oliver Tractors look a bit different from other tractors, having smooth aerodynamic lines. This has made Oliver tractors a real collector's tractor.
Incorporated in 1929, the Oliver Farm Equipment Company purchased the businesses of six manufacturers to become an instantly complete agricultural implement company.
Oliver concentrated on the well-known Hart-Parr tractor, which they had acquired. The tractors were then produced under the name of Oliver Hart-Parr.
In 1930, Oliver tractors had a 4-cylinder engine and was known as the Oliver 18-28 tractor. Hart-Parr tractors only had two-cylinder engines, so the improvement made a name for Oliver tractors. Many follow-up Oliver tractors were produced over the years, including the Oliver 60, 70, and 80 models.
In 1944 the Cleveland Tractor Company merged with Oliver to form the Oliver Corporation. In 1948 the fleet-line series was introduced which included the models 66, 77 and 88.
Oliver Tractors was acquired by the White Motor Corporation in 1960.
