Tractor Restoration and Painting

 
   

1949 Oliver 77

 
     

Here we have a 1949 Oliver 77. The previous owner had removed the generator and replaced it with a one wire hook-up alternator. They then covered the alternator with a lovely chrome hub cap.

We will be restoring this tractor to its original condition. We will do this by replacing many parts including new side screens. The tractor was sandblasted, then primed. The grill and hood needed a fair amount of body repairs; otherwise, the tin was in good shape. The tractor is in the process of being painted, and we will upload additional pictures next week.
