Oliver Tractors: A Chief Engineer's Story 1940-1970

This first-hand account provides intimate detail on how some of the most collectible Oliver tractors were designed, built and sold. The best-known Oliver farm tractors were built between 1944 and 1970, including the Fleetline series—the model 66, 77 and 88. Author T. Herbert Morrell was among the chief engineers for Oliver from 1944 through 1970. He was a key figure in the development of the Fleetline tractors, the upgraded Super series, and the all-new 1600, 1750, 1800, and 1900 tractors. This book provides a behind-the-scenes look at how these tractors were conceived and built from one of their foremost designers.
