Videos from Losey's Home for Wayward Olivers
I am a 4th generation farmer in Southern Michigan working ground that has been owned by my family for over 100 years. In the 1930s my great grandfather became a farm equipment dealer handling Oliver, Gehl, New Holland and other short lines of equipment. Our farm and dealership grew over the years, so most of my time revolved around driving or repairing the farm equipment that we sold. In 1998 we made the tough decision to close the doors of our dealership, concentrating on our farm. We still have the buildings that housed our dealership, including the living space in the main building that I now call home.

I Thought I Fixed You - Square Baler Acts Up Again
I had some trouble with my Oliver 720 baler during 1st cutting hay. The right knotter stopped working, and then the shear bolt broke. After some repairs, including a part transplant from a New Holland baler, I thought I had it all ready to go. Boy was I wrong. The Super 88 diesel provides the power, and did just that without any issues. The running gears are Oliver as well, so it's all vintage Oliver equipment with the newest piece being a 1969 and the oldest from 1956.

FULLY RESTORED OLIVER 1655 4x4 tractor mowing 2nd cut hay
Просмотров 6 тыс.День назад
It's the 1655's turn to mow hay. This tractor is such a smooth runner, those large front wheels just roll over bumps and dips, it's nothing less than a pleasure to drive it. It's also a good match to the Gehl 2360 horsepower wise, so away we go! There was some water and mud in the edge of one of the fields, so I turned on the front axle, just to be safe. I stop for a crop report and walk into m...

Chris did you see the Squatch253 video with the tiny Oliver crawler and blade?
I saw the thumbnail, but haven't watched it yet.
Super 88 that's a lot of tractor for a small square baler
Enjoyed this bro, the smell of hay bailing is something most city folks never get to enjoy in a lifetime. Great video too. Safe travels. Ken.
Thanks Ken! I agree, hay is a great smell. They need to make a candle that smells like hay.
Buenas noches, con respeto que usted se merece; quisiera que me dijera, que número de balero y reten lleva este tractor, porque tengo un 1800 y tira aceite por la toma de fuerza (pto) y no encuentro la refacción. Dónde podré encontrar este par de refacciones. Por su respuesta muchas gracias.
Persistence or stubbornness paid off. It’s funny how things pop in your head all the sudden and you wonder why didn’t I think of that an hour ago? Never been around a thrower. How does the belts not just chew the twines right off? The bale must be clear of the chamber. Doesn’t look like enough room for that.
The theower does leave a little bit of a skid mark on the twine, but for the most part, the bale isn't there long enough for any damage to happen to the twine. Say you have one almost ready to launch and you have to turn around on the headlands, then you better think about turning off the PTO. I've had it chew through the twine and break a bale. It doesn't happen very often, but it can do it.
😍😍🇧🇷
It seemed to me, and I definitely could be wrong but the second plow seemed to be making a narrower swath then the front, might that be the bottom width? Or type of plow in tandom? I find it interesting that the models dont have to be the same, also interesting that the pivot point doesn’t sway the trailing oddly.
It would work better with the same model. I had to readjust the rear hitch to get the rear plow leveled out. Both plows are set at 16 inch cut with 16 inch bottoms. The front plow has stubble bottoms with straight coulters. The rear plow has general purpose bottoms with dished coulters.
Isn't it something how just one little thing wrong or out of adjustment and it makes all the difference. I have no experience with an Oliver 720 baler, but I baled thousands and thousands of bales with a model 50, which we had up until I was 21 and got the Massey Ferguson 124 that I still have today.
It's just a matter of figuring out which one is out of whack.
OUCH!!!!
Nice video. I have a 720 but never used it. If I ever get it out of the bushes I will know a little. I sure don't miss baler problems.
Balers are like wives. When they're new they do what you want, when they're old they throw fits, and no one totally understands how they work.
Always loved putting up hay we didn't have a bale thrower we had to handle each bale we cut and baled around 125 to200 acres big deal in the south during the 80s an early 90s on our farm kinda miss those days lol 90 degrees and hay sticking to the back of your neck 😅
Here's this guy driving, baling, fixing and filming while he's flying a drone. I'm over here and can't talk on a telephone and scribble notes on paper at the same time. 😲
😂😂😂.
😄😄👍👍👍👍
going to need a BIGGER SWEAR JAR 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
It got some more today. LOL
JEEPERS CHRIS IT LOOKS LIKE YOUR SWEAR JAR IS PERT NEAR FULL NOW !
I'm going to have to step up my game. LOL
Holy crap, those windrows look like you raked them for a roto-baler! Oliver is the feature at our local show this coming weekend, be interesting to see what shows up! Last time we featured Oliver it was a fantastic show!
Where is your show?
@@ThatOliverGuyChris Marshalltown Iowa. Probably short notice for you to make the trip. You know some of the usual suspects that will be in attendance.
@@MikeJensen-wo7oh yep. I think a tractor I worked on is going to be there
@@ThatOliverGuyChris I've got m y Herman sticker on the Dodge I tow with, we'll see if anyone comments on that!
Would be neat to see your Fleetline 88 on the baler. Too bad gas is so expensive 😂
That tractor is just a sweet heart! Sounds as nice as it looks!
Thank you, I really enjoy using it.
what was running in that field at 27:00 minutes ????
I didn't see anything but me and the tractor. Was it in the background?
@ThatOliverGuyChris yea look I think it's a deer at 27 minutes

G'day Chris awesome video mate
Thanks Murphy! I hope you and the family are doing well.
@@ThatOliverGuyChris We are thanks mate
Adjustment required after only 50+ years! Ridiculous! LOL
Nothing sounds like an Oliver 6 bailing hay! Love it!
YOUz farmers got a lot of wagons. Nice video.
Thanks 👍
Nice cutting of hay.
Thanks 👍
Your one of 2 Oliver RUclipsrs to be having Oliver baler issues. Oliver66farmboy is having trouble with his 60T baler
Got mine all straightened out, running like a Swiss watch now.
Wait a minute. I thought the 880 would get some Baylor time
It was on the baler last year. And gas is $4 a gallon.
Cant beat a v rake for speed, but honestly I think an old rolabar does the best job, but with that said I also run a V rake!
Glad you got it sorted out. Your patience and persistence paid off. I’d have filled the swear jar and thrown in the towel long before. 😂
Next shear bolt was going to put the round baler to work. LOL I'm glad it popped in my head before that happened.
I really enjoy watching that whole assembly do its thing. Mesmerizing.
Thanks!
I used to have an old JD 14T, was a solid baler, just the floor rotted out and the cost to replace, just wasn't worth it. Ended up selling it. Do you clean out your bale chamber every year or no? Great video as always, cheers :)
Thanks! No, I leave the chamber full. If I'm concerned with the hay in the chamber, I'll feed some straw bales in to get the hay pushed out for the winter.
Now don't forget to re-pin that gear or you'll be refilling the cuss jar next season.
Yeah, nobody needs a headache like that. I'm going to look for parts right now.
When your bored this winter and its zero out, maybe you can make a video that explains the line of Oliver balers over the years. I find them fascinating with the feed on the later ones but never seen one work in person, and only seen a 520 that was half missing at a sale once, there just was not any around me. Mostly all NH, later on some Deere's, not much else.............unless you were a contrarian like my grandfather and bought a Massey.
I'll keep that in mind. Thanks for the suggestion
Yah a slower RPM is probably warranted being that baler is over 50 years old.
Sounds beautiful. Good job. I'm watching you instead of getting my case 200 ready for 2nd crop. Lol. Giver hell man. Love the videos.
Thanks! I think my mom still has one of my report cards that say "distracts others from their work" 😂
@@ThatOliverGuyChris. Lmfao.
@ThatOliverGuyChris . I run MMs. But I love Oliver's and many others. I just love seeing someone else do what I do. I do round bale. But the story with your dad's super88 has to be on the baler? Got me. My dad's 445 moline is physically wore out. But internally it's good. It's always on the square baler. I can't use anything else. Love what you're doing. Keep it up man. God bless.
@@samrotheray5805 I occasionally put something else on the square baler, but growing up, the Super 88 was what went on the 720. I do recall dad using the 1750 one summer for straw. I asked if something was wrong with the Super 88, and he said yeah, it's more likely to get stuck. It had been a wet summer.
@@ThatOliverGuyChris . Nice. Lol. I don't have a thrower. But I did recently find a buncher to drag along. The kids and wife appreciate that.
I drove my uncle's Oliver super 88 when I was a teenager to work on his farm for the summers.
I'm betting your brake on the knotters is out of adjustment. I ran into a similar problem with my 336 John Deere. As the kicker ejected the bale it would cause the knotter to cycle again, tieing one flake of hay. It was also allowing the needles to creep ahead just enough for the stop to make contact with the plunger crankshaft. It took a few sheer bolts to figure out what was happening.🤣 At one point I was probably covering 80 acres with that 336 and use 327s and 348 balers with great success. One thing your baler and my 336 suffer from is theheadistonarrowitis. It's a lot harder to bale straw behind a 9500 ect than it was to bale behind our old 6600.
I did tighten the brake up some. It wasn't until I adjusted the link for that safety dog that I had sucess. It worked flawlessly after that.
@@ThatOliverGuyChris good. I'm glad you got the baling done. That was some nice looking hay.
There's a winter project rebuild the baler
My dad had a Case 200 square baler that would intermittently not tie on one side. I don't know how many hours he spent watching the knotters while I turned the flywheel trying to find the problem. Finally ran out of twine.....put in new twine and the baler never missed another knot!
There is definitely differences in twone quality that leads to knotter problems.
“ when it starts getting sloppy, adjust your rod”- James Oliver, probably
"Make your rod shorter" - some guy on RUclips., probably from Michigan
@@ThatOliverGuyChris”bark means no”-southwestern Michigan PETA chapter.
Dad was a New Holland baler mechanic back in the 60's. When he passed in 2012 we were going through his old Snap On tool chest that he had on his work truck. He still had some knives, hooks, shear bolts and rollers for the needles in one drawer.
Great video. You may have mentioned this before but did Oliver make that baler themselves or license the design from another manufacturer given a New Holland part fit on it? Also looks like there may be more money in swearing than hay making. 😂😂😂
Oliver made their own baler. It goes back to when they bought the Ann Arbor baler. They did use the Deering patent for their knotters, just like New Holland, Deere, and almost everyone did. The exception would be Massey Ferguson, they had a knotter that was unique. Oliver still made their own knotter parts. They had Oliver part numbers cast into them and had some minor differences. The Oliver knife arm has a longer finger on the end compared to the New Holland one I installed. The main drive gears look nearly identical, but Oliver has their keyway 180 degrees off from the New Holland. I think a guy could swap in a complete set of knotters, but you'd have to do both sides and re-time them to make it work.
Them dog locks can be very deceiving on adjustment. I've fought them adjustment for hours before getting them 💯 right
Maybe it would help if you switch from the jar and try animal noises like Ross. We use a 14T baler and Dad used to have trouble once like that and if memory serves it was all because the needles were slightly bent.
😂😂😂. I don't want to steal Ross's thunder.
Them square balers can be really temperamental.
Lots of places for things to go wrong. The trick is figuring out which one it is.
Great looking tractor and baler. Good job figuring baler out.
Thanks 👍
I got a few acres of hay to bale tomorrow with the New Holland Super 69 baler the was my grandpa's. I gotta decide if I'm gonna use the s Super 88, 66 or show the true power of an Oliver and use the 60. Looks like you got the baler figured out
Full send! Put the 60 on there!
@@ThatOliverGuyChris not having live pto sucks but I just might🤣
@@jamieebersole6755 yeah, I forgot about that aspect. Better go with the 66.
@@ThatOliverGuyChris you pick a gear and go for it 🤣 this is 2nd cutting so it won't be that heavy
@ThatOliverGuyChris we started with the 66 and it decided to mess up like it wanted to go visit Ross or something so my dad got out his 77. He doesn't like running my Super 88 because it's a little clumsy without power steering
...brings a tear to me eye.....😢
Danged kids today. They cannot do something as concentration required as baling without playing on their video games. Balers when they are running perfectly are a thing of mechanical beauty. But let one thing get out of adjustment even a tiny bit and they will drive you nuts. At least you found the problem without having to call your friendly Oliver baler repairman. We would have killed back in the day to have video cameras where one could observe various parts of equipment in slow motion. Fast walking beside the baler while breathing in the dust from the plunger-pounding hay or straw in hopes of spotting what was out of time just was not fun. I was waiting for you to bale a skunk, raccoon, opossum, or a big snake. A skunk was the worst critter to bale. Abby's college tuition jar would have to be a kiddie pool. Even Rossquach would pass on them if you told him he could have a few free bales. Great video
Thanks Gary! I didn't bale a skunk, but I got one with the mower in that field. I could still smell it when I drove by the spot with the baler.
Interested square baler 45 was junk
